Financial planning managers to get biggest rises in 2017 – Robert Half

Financial planning and analysis managers in large organisations are set to receive some of the largest increases in starting salaries in 2017, according to research from Robert Half. This group can expect to see an uplift of 5.8% on average, taking starting salaries to between £64,000 and £82,000 this year.

Other groups in a list of the top 10 roles by predicted salary increases includes:

• senior operational risk managers (predicted rise of 5.2%)
• project managers in accounting and finance (4.9%)
• developers in the IT function (4.5%).

Phil Sheridan, senior managing director at Robert Half, said:

‘The rise in starting salaries is a reflection of organisations taking on business transformation projects, financial planning and risk mitigation which is adding additional strain on the limited supply of professionals with these skills.’
