Post-MBA Strategic Finance

Have a few years of post-MBA IBD experience and looking at strategic finance roles at Series B-D tech companies in SF.

What are typical comp ranges for these roles / that level of experience?

    From personal experience at a couple unicorns I’d say 175 area before bonuses/stocks which will vary by company.

    I will also say from personal experience that you might want to target roles that are heavy on the strategic / maybe give you some product leadership. Strategic finance is generally a fancy word for FP&A and the type of work you’ll be doing is what some guy was doing three levels down from the CFOs that you’re probably used to communicating with.

    To put it another way, strategic finance = back office; product = front office when you’re talking about tech companies.

      Very good insights! One follow up- for the modeling out in new products P&L etc, is this takes most of the time, or at least 60% vs 40% monthly reporting FP&A work?

      I’m in one of those non-FP&A functions I mentioned so I can’t say for sure— but from prior company experiences I’d say at least 1/3 to 1/2 of FP&A jobs are going to be just that. Come budget season that will become like 3/4 to 100%.

  • If helpful for others based off my early convos with a few companies, base for these roles seems to be 150-200 (eg roughly in line with IBD associate levels). Equity seems highly variable but can probably get to ~250+ TC.

  • Got an offer at 180 + 320 total equity. Company raising at a multiple of current valuation though so equity should be materially higher in next few months. For all of our sakes let’s hope market stays hot!
