Strategic Finance Comp Thread

Hi - hoping to start a master thread for strategic / corporate finance comp based on # of YE post-banking/PE/etc. I'll start:

  • Years post-banking/PE: 2
  • Title: Strategic Finance Manager
  • Cash comp: $190k
  • Equity: ~0.2% of company (vesting over 4 years)
 

Hey there! Thanks for kicking off this thread. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's a bit of insight I can share:

  • Years post-banking/PE: 2
  • Title: Strategic Finance Role
  • Cash comp: My first year in this role was $110K all-in ($90K base, $10K signing, $10K bonus).

Remember, this can vary a lot depending on the company, location, and other factors. But it's always great to have these discussions to get a sense of the landscape. Keep the data points coming!

What is ownership structure? PE? VC? Founder owned? 

What $ amount does 0.2% equate to fully vested, based on say 3x MOIC? 

4 years in IB/PE

Strategic Finance Manager at PE portco

$200k cash comp

$600k equity payout at 3x CoC, which we're on track to achieve.

 

More of a VC structure. 0.2% was the initial equity grant I received. I am assuming that when and if we exit that will be diluted by about 50%.

I'd say we are worth between $200M and $300M currently (but we are still very earl stage), so you can do the math on what my equity is worth.

 
  • YOE: 6 months of banking
