Depends on who's doing the hiring and where you're located. Big accounting firm or Fortune 500 company in the Northeast or California, you could be looking at $35-40,000. If you're working for Mom & Pop Inc. in Palookaville, $25,000 might be a good starting salary. Could you get a job where you interned? If they know you, they might pay you at the high end of the range.

In California or NYC look for $35-$40k. You didn't say you passed your CPA exam for your state. If you did you could probably tack on another $5-10k at the start but your salary over time will grow much faster than if you're not certified. If your internship involved forensic accounting you might also be able to get paid a premium.

It all depends on location. About 25 - 30k is good starting salary in a large company that is near or in a metro area in the eastern US, but I am sure it is more in places like California or New York City.
