In a national comparison by revenue size, Top Financial Executive base salaries ranged from $181,125 in organizations with revenue up to $49.9 million; $311,000 for those with revenue between $50 million – $199.9 million; and $465,838 for those with revenue $200⁺ million. Data reported reflect the national 50^th percentile of salary.
