Hello there. I was trying to find a job in Bahrain. And some employers replies and ask for my salary expectation. Can all of you give me an idea how much is the average monthly salary of accountant?
Thank you for the info

Depends on year of experience, industry and qualifications.  Varies dramatically.

5yrs of working experience and the company is logistics. Would you know even just the average?
Or the salary range please. I just need the info in order to negotiate: please

That is what I am trying to tell you.  The average is skewed heavily by the type of company and the type of experience you have.

To give an example, the multinational I used to work with in consumer goods would offer around 900 to 1,200 BD for a junior position with 3-5 years of MNC experience.  This included housing and car allowances plus medical & benefits on top.  However, at the other end of the spectrum, I have heard of 400-500 BD or even lower being offered.

And I am referring to qualified accountants i.e. CA, CMA, CPA etc.  Without these certifications, the salary offered would be even lower.
