For that we can look at the Labour Force in Singapore 2020 report which addresses this:

[Page 27, Chart 12]

The median salary of graduates of the local Autonomous Universities in the age range 25-29 in 2020 is $5,090 (including employer CPF).

Excluding employer CPF (17%), it is exactly $4,350. Taking the middle of the age range, the median 27 year-old graduate of Autonomous Universities in Singapore is earning exactly $4,350. That is only marginally above the pay of an auditor 2 years in (graduation age at 25), and below the pay of an auditor 3 years in (graduation age at 24).

And there are industry differences. From the breakdown by industry, the Finance industry has the highest median pay. Though this is not further broken down into age group for each industry. If you compare your accounting job (probably under "Professionals" rather than "Finance") with the Finance industry, it will certainly feel "barely reaching the median", but across the board, it is definitely at least comparable with the median for a local university graduate.
