Every open chief financial officer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 5 of the 14 chief financial officer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 8 more are hybrid. The other 13 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

About Chief Financial Officer roles
The Chief Financial Officer job market currently shows 28 open positions across 27 hiring companies, based on available postings data. One new CFO role was posted this week, indicating a modest but steady pace of activity rather than a surge. Compensation data from posted listings shows a median (P50) salary of $258,000, with the 25th percentile at $212,250 and the 75th percentile at $291,250, suggesting a relatively wide band of pay depending on company size, industry, and scope of the role. Among the companies currently hiring for CFO positions are Toast, Washington University in St. Louis, Tripadvisor, Anthropic, and Macmillan, representing a mix of technology, education, media, and AI-focused organizations. This diversity suggests that CFO demand is not concentrated in a single sector but spans multiple industries seeking senior financial leadership. With 27 distinct companies hiring for only 28 total roles, most employers appear to have a single open CFO position, which is typical for an executive-level role where organizations generally require only one person in this capacity at a time. The relatively low volume of weekly postings (just one new role this week) compared to the total of 28 open positions suggests that CFO roles may remain posted for extended periods before being filled, consistent with the lengthy search and vetting processes typical of executive hiring. Candidates evaluating this market should consider that the salary range, from $212,250 to $291,250 across the middle half of postings, reflects variation in company stage, revenue scale, and industry. Overall, the data points to a steady, moderately sized market for CFO talent, with opportunities distributed across a range of well-known and sector-diverse organizations rather than concentrated hiring from any single employer.
What skills are in demand for CFO roles?
The available posting data does not break out specific skill requirements, so a detailed skills list cannot be confirmed from current data. Based on the mix of hiring companies, which span technology, education, media, and AI sectors, CFO candidates likely benefit from financial leadership experience adaptable across varied industry contexts. Reviewing individual job listings is recommended for specific skill and qualification requirements.
What salary can a CFO expect to earn?
Based on current postings, the median CFO salary is $258,000, with the 25th percentile at $212,250 and the 75th percentile at $291,250. This indicates that half of posted CFO roles fall within this range, though actual compensation may vary by company and role scope, according to available data.
Which companies are hiring CFOs right now?
According to available data, companies currently hiring for CFO roles include Toast, Washington University in St. Louis, Tripadvisor, Anthropic, and Macmillan. These represent a cross-section of industries, including technology, higher education, travel, AI, and publishing, based on current postings.
How competitive is the CFO job market?
Based on current postings, there are 28 open CFO positions across 27 hiring companies, suggesting most employers have a single opening rather than hiring multiple CFOs simultaneously. With only one new role posted this week, the pace of new openings appears modest, which may mean fewer opportunities become available at any given time according to available data.
