Corporate finance salary growth remains strongest in buy-side firms managing high-performing equity portfolios, benefiting from sector-wide market cap expansion across fintech and traditional banks. There are more than 350,000 churches and 200 denominations in the U.S., according to recent data, and unlike other nonprofits, churches are not required to make their financials public. Marketing agencies and polling firms such as MinistryPay.com and ChurchSalary.com , which conduct surveys to generate data for church administrators, and online employment marketplaces such as ZipRecruiter.com , are some of the most reliable sources. Despite these advantages, only 22% of respondents say their organizations have a clear AI strategy. As a result, many businesses may risk falling behind in both returns and competitive growth, according to Thomson Reuters. Corporate finance salary momentum in mid-2024 reflects both stable equity valuations and increased corporate cash reserves, allowing firms to lock in competitive pay offers to outperform rivals in talent acquisition.
