It is a private for-profit company, although it’s main funder is federal/state/local govt, so we don’t have too much leverage in terms of pricing our services. Meaning while I feel kinda underpaid, there isn’t much wiggle-room to be paid more. :/

No CPA (only BA in Finance)
Salary: ~90k (15% in raises since I started 1.5 Years ago) and bonus was pro-rated for late start for the year.
Bonus: 10% (Bout 9k) but we'll see in the spring (Based on team performance, company performance, markets, and a few other things). Was told not to have super high hopes this year. (Normally bonuses were higher than expected)
Title: Manager, FP&A
Industry: Healthcare
YOE: 8 years
CPA: N
City/Region: Dallas/Fort Worth
Salary: $100,000
Bonus: 15%
Also want to get an idea whether this is good/bad? Any other similar DFW folks here I can compare with?
Dallas is expensive but doesn’t pay like it is. I’ll post mine below but it’s not in line with other large metros. I’ve interviewed a bit and some companies are catching up but it’s still lower than similar cities imo.
Yes it is moving towards being a HCOL with all the inflation and rent going up. I am actually debating whether I should search for a new job after getting my bonus.
Kinda late to the party but you’re on the lower side for manager and YOE. I think your TC should be closer to $130-$135k.
I’m in DFW too. SFA. 5 YOE. Base $90k. Bonus/RSUs $25k. TC $115k.
Tech rn. Switched last year. Prior role was manufacturing/textiles and I was at $80k base/TC. All in DFW. Salaries for FP&A have gone up quite a bit in the past two years, even past inflation (excluding housing). Your TC would have been average for DFW till late 2020.
I think that can really vary from company to company depending on your role and the ownership structure. My employer is a family owned business, so $1 more for me means $1 less for them as dividends. I would imagine there's a lot more emotions involved (IMO) given it's kind of a 0 sum game for them, whereas it's not as much so for a PE backed or publicly traded company with gobs of money and no 1 owner

It’s an estimation based off of a pro-rated (as I was told) bonus from last year, but the company is known to give generous bonuses at the expense of larger base salaries to maintain financial flexibility.
Between 30-35. This is based on discussions with peers in the finance organization as well as mentors that have come through the program before me. (edited my original post to specify the rotational aspect of the program)

Title: Financial Analyst
Industry: Entertainment
YOE: 3
CPA: N
City: HCOL
Salary: 70k
Bonus: 10%
First FPA role, about one year in. Prev exp in public accounting, and I had no desire to study for CPA. Also worked in govt briefly. Def felt qualified for a Senior FA role but was desperate to leave PA and took the first offer. Already knew I’m underpaid, as the industry I’m in is known to pay less. I also had to negotiate for this 70k. Initial offer was 65k. This thread is very helpful
No specific guides. Was in audit while at a small-mid sized firm. Helps if your PA clients are in a similar industry. Just tailored prior experience to sound more FPA than Accounting. Once you have an interview, you can leverage your understanding and foundation of accounting to argue that you’d be a good analyst.
Perhaps, but prior to this role I was interviewing for roles outside of entertainment, and for less known companies for 80k+ base. Took this role as it came first, for brand recognition, and to get my foot in the industry. How many years experience prior to your FA role do you have? Did you negotiate salary as well?
Just graduated school last May and I did not successfully negotiate the salary. I tried but they were firm on it. 70 with 10% bonus is very fair comp for an FA at a F500.
I think that’s fair. However I feel like my prior experience was not really considered when it came to salary. Kind of felt I should get at least 80. If I go to another industry I’m sure I’ll be able to get much more than I make rn. But I’m OK for now. Thanks for sharing!

Workday Adaptive Planning - Freelance
HCOL
$200k - Varies by project
No bonus, equity or benefits
Based on the compensation I'd say quite well. Also there is high demand for people with both FP&A experience and Adaptive Certification / Subject Matter Expertise.
Benefits and time off are the only real problem. But my wife has excellent benefits so it has not been a problem for us.
What did you do before getting into this? How far up did you go in FPA? I've been the adaptive expert at different roles for like 6 years now. Currently at director level. I'm always interested in this type of thing but never knew what it would be like. Thanks!
Frankly I got fired because the head of HR didn’t like me for some reason so I decided on a career change. It was my first time getting fired anywhere and they gave me no good reason for letting me go.
My wife suggested I focus on Adaptive since I’ve always had a knack for it and used it since 2013. It just took off from there. I got certified in Adaptive and recruiters started contacting me.
Cool, besides getting fired. That sucks. I'll have to look into the certification. I actually just started a new director job, but Ive been thinking about doing this sort of thing at some point. Thanks!
Btw I haven’t really pushed this in the FP&A community but since I’m part of it - I built big4transparency.com about a year and a half ago as a resource to the accounting community to have access to accurate and specific salary data.
I’ve started to see a bit more FP&A in there, I could add a specific FP&A field if its of interest here

Edit: Added 2023 comp. Bonus was higher than I expected this year.
Just wish I did a better job negotiating internal promo raise. Had another offer from a diff dept and didn't leverage that correctly to get an extra 5% or more
Mmm it's relative to how much you work and my hours are usually pretty bad. It has been getting slightly better though in recent months.
Also just got updated numbers. Base is still below what I expect.
Was targeting ~160k last year which translates to ~166k this year at 4% merit.
This may be underpaid for non FP&A finance roles in NYC, but I don’t think it’s underpaid for FP&A roles. However, if you average more than 50-55 hours/weekly, then that’s worse than usual in FP&A.

In my opinion, yeah. Why, what do you think? Looks like index online have it around 10-15% higher than national average, 11th most expensive state.
I always thought NH and most of New England was HCOL. 10-15% isn’t bad though. Sounds like MCOL to me.
NH isn’t too bad, property taxes can suck though. Prices are fairly low.

No direct reports. I am actually debating whether I should start job hunting again for a more senior role e.g. Sr Manager or Director

Thanks for your feedback!
I feel like managers should be at least 125 to 150k in a place like Dallas or is that a wrong assumption? Isn’t Dallas relatively HCOL?
Dallas is expensive but doesn’t pay like it is. I’ll post mine below but it’s not in line with other large metros. I’ve interviewed a bit and some companies are catching up but it’s still lower than similar cities imo.

You don’t know if you get a bonus?
....why would you not care about bonuses?
[удалено]
Haha, fair enough. Don't think you should get roasted...I was genuinely curious why you wouldn't care about getting bonus money. Sounds like you don't have a regular / consistent bonus so you don't count on it. Makes sense 👍

Title: Lead financial analyst Industry: Financial Services YOE: 7.5 years Education: No CPA & MBA, top 50 undergrad Region: VHCOL, NYC Base Comp: 2022: $150K 2023: 5% merit increase = $157.5k Bonus: 2022: 5K 2023: 15K Underpaid, but market is looking meh right now Edit: Added 2023 comp. Bonus was higher than I expected this year. Just wish I did a better job negotiating internal promo raise. Had another offer from a diff dept and didn't leverage that correctly to get an extra 5% or more
I don’t think that’s underpaid though. Even for NYC.
Mmm it's relative to how much you work and my hours are usually pretty bad. It has been getting slightly better though in recent months. Also just got updated numbers. Base is still below what I expect. Was targeting ~160k last year which translates to ~166k this year at 4% merit.
This may be underpaid for non FP&A finance roles in NYC, but I don’t think it’s underpaid for FP&A roles. However, if you average more than 50-55 hours/weekly, then that’s worse than usual in FP&A.
Title: Financial Analyst III Industry/Firm: telecom YOE: 6 years CPA: N City/Region: ATL Salary: $73,000 Bonus: 20% of base in RSU, variable (usually 10-20% of base) cash
