UK senior finance salary guide and market report 2025

We are delighted to present the latest edition of the Brewer Morris UK senior finance salary guide and market report for 2025.

Businesses have experienced unprecedented change and market challenge of late. In recent years, macroeconomic events meant businesses were being asked to adapt and change at a moment’s notice. I had hoped that 2025 would signal a return to ‘normality’, but the events of the past few weeks indicate that uncertainty is the new normal.  

The impact that a world class CFO and broader finance team can have on the success of an organisation, means there has been continued change in the top role and throughout teams.

Organisations are quick to change leadership when priorities shift. That being said, the cost caution we have seen in the market means that the extraordinary levels of hiring witnessed during 2022/2023 were not replicated in 2024, and there was a notable increase in internal talent management and succession planning. We are already seeing a marked increase in external hiring in 2025 and remain convinced that businesses will press ahead with hiring activity in spite of less-than-ideal trading conditions.

Our report covers market insights and senior finance salaries across the UK.

We hope that this guide helps you navigate this environment. Should you wish to discuss it in detail, or for a confidential conversation about recruitment or your career, please do get in touch today.

We invite you to download the complete report by filling in the form below, or for an in-depth discussion on any of the material in the report please contact a member of our team in the UK today.
