We have published our annual CFO Remuneration, Equity and Outlook Report for 2025. For the eighth annual version of this report, we surveyed finance leaders on their remuneration and equity working in private equity-backed businesses in the UK and across Europe, as well and trends and their outlook on the industry for the next 12 months.
This is the eighth consecutive year this report has been published, covering the remuneration packages offered to CFOs in the UK and across Europe, shedding light on the factors that influence their compensation. It analyses a wide range of data, including salary benchmarks, bonus structures, equity participation and the impact of industry, country and business size on earnings. It also looks at the attitudes of finance leaders towards business challenges faced and experiences of navigating these.
As we continue to develop this survey each year, we have valuable insight into the evolution of trends across the industry, and this report sheds light on how sentiment is changing over time.
The objective of the report is to provide a clear, current view of opportunities and challenges faced by CFOs working in portfolio businesses. In a time of rapid economic change and increasing competition for the best finance talent, this report aims to provide insight for businesses, leaders and funds to make informed decisions, helping individuals and organisations to build success.
