How Much Do CFO Earn?

[erwinsmith]

I'm curious to know how much CFOs typically earn. I understand it might vary based on company size, industry, and location, but can anyone share a general salary range or their experience? Also, how do bonuses or equity factor into their total compensation? Looking forward to your insights!

CFOs usually make a lot — often between $150,000 and $400,000 a year, depending on the company size and location.
Big companies pay more, smaller ones less. Bonuses and stock options can add even more.
