Employment for compliance professionals will be strong in the coming years as a result of increasing government regulation of the financial services industry. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts 5 percent employment growth, about as fast as the average, for compliance officers through 2033. In its 2025 Salary Guide Accounting & Finance, Robert Half noted that “companies' prioritization of technology, risk, regulatory compliance, and strategic advisory roles is escalating demand for a variety of finance and accounting professionals." Companies will continue to need professionals to help them with cybersecurity initiatives as well as to keep current with regulatory standards regarding privacy and data ownership. Those with a law degree or a master’s degree, certification, and extensive experience will have the best job prospects.
