Median Salaries of Chief Financial Officers, 2018-19

Private nonprofit independent doctoral institutions had the highest median salary for chief financial officers — more than $70,000 greater than the median at public doctoral institutions. At religiously affiliated institutions, median salaries for chief financial officers at master’s and baccalaureate institutions were not as far below the median at doctoral institutions as was the case at public and private independent institutions.

Note: Median salaries are based on reports from 602 institutions. A dash indicates that no data were reported.
