Roles We Recruit For

We can match your Portfolio Company with executives who can navigate economic downturns, build sustainable revenue generation, perfect your organisational structure and up-skill existing teams to ensure your company evolves in a constantly changing market.

<p>A recent salary survey by Raw Selection focused on this niche, particularly within Private Equity-backed companies in the U.S. The findings shed light on the remuneration landscape across three revenue categories: up to $50 million, $50 million to $150 million, and over $150 million. Here&rsquo;s a deep dive into the insights gleaned from the survey and what they signify for both CFOs and hiring entities in this industry.</p>
<p><strong>Compensation in Companies with Revenue Up to $50 Million</strong></p>
<p>For companies generating up to $50 million in revenue, CFO salaries exhibited a wide range. The lowest reported salary was $100,000, while the highest reached $320,000. This variance reflects the diversity of roles and responsibilities that CFOs might shoulder within this revenue bracket. The median salary stood at $197,659, providing a benchmark for firms to gauge their compensation structures.</p>
<p>Bonus structures in this category showed that 78% of CFOs received less than 50% of their salary as a bonus, with the lowest bonus percentage being 5%. However, a noteworthy 22% of CFOs in this revenue bracket had bonuses extending up to 100% of their salaries, highlighting significant performance-based incentives. Additionally, 61% of CFOs reported having an equity stake in their organization, emphasizing the trend towards aligning executives&rsquo; interests with the long-term success of the company.</p>
<p><strong>Compensation in Companies with Revenue Between $50 Million and $150 Million</strong></p>
<p>Moving up the revenue scale, companies with $50 million to $150 million in revenue offered CFOs a salary range between $150,000 and $330,000. The median salary in this bracket increased to $242,478, indicating the heightened complexity and demand of the CFO role in larger organizations.</p>
<p>In terms of bonuses, 60% of CFOs received less than 50% as a bonus, with the lowest at 10% and the highest up to 90%. This suggests a broad spectrum of bonus structures tailored to individual company performance metrics. Additionally, the increase in equity participation to 70% in this revenue category underscores the growing emphasis on equity as a key component of executive compensation, fostering long-term commitment and alignment with business outcomes.</p>
<p><strong>Compensation in Companies with Revenue Over $150 Million</strong></p>
<p>For the largest companies surveyed, with revenues exceeding $150 million, CFO salaries ranged from $150,000 to $408,000. The median salary escalated to $277,094, reflecting the critical strategic role CFOs play in guiding large organizations through financial landscapes.</p>
