This is the first North America edition of our CFO Remuneration Report, extending Finatal’s previous iterations for the UK and Europe, benchmarking CFO remuneration in the private equity landscape across the U.S. and Canada.
Drawing on responses from more than 200 finance leaders, the report analyzes base salaries, bonus structures, equity participation and how industry, geography and company scale influence total compensation. We also explore perspectives from CFOs themselves on investor support, technical and leadership skills and the business challenges faced – ranging from slower deal flow to digital transformation.
By establishing a U.S. baseline, this inaugural survey offers timely insight into evolving compensation practices at a moment of selective deal activity, shifting fundraising dynamics and growing competition for top CFO talent.
Our objective is to provide clear, data-driven benchmarks to design competitive packages, align incentives and build high impact finance teams that thrive and drive businesses forward in today’s fast paced private equity environment.
