Guess how much a Singapore CFO earns a year

It can spike to a crazy rate of $500,000.

The market in 2012 remained relatively stable and job opportunities arose asa result of natural attrition, rather than company or team expansion, Robert Walters said in its recent global salary survey. 

In 2012, it saw an increase in contract finance and accounting hiring within commercial businesses due to the on shoring of roles within medium to large shared service centres in Singapore. While a variety of skill sets were in demand, financial analysts, interim financial controllers and accountants were all sought-after. The FMCG, pharmaceutical, oil and gas,chemical and mining sectors were most active in the recruitment of contractors.

It noted that in Singapore, a Chief Financial Officer on permanent position enjoyed a salary of $300-450k per annum. In 2013, it is seen to rise $300-500k+ for the same position. The table below shows the salary list of professionals under Accounting and Finance sector.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
