California’s finance managers are well compensated, with the average salary for a finance manager in California reaching $117,000 in 2016. This figure is derived from Bureau of Labor Statistics data on employment levels and average salaries for all occupations in California, as well as from data on average salaries for finance managers by state.
The highest-paid 10 percent of finance managers in California earn more than $129,000 per year on average. The lowest-paid 10 percent earn less than $83,000 per year.
The BLS projects that employment growth will be strong at 11 percent between 2016 and 2026, which is faster than the projected growth rate of all jobs during that period.
