What is a reasonable salary / total compensation range for a Controller at a startup in a major metro area? The role oversees all accounting functions, manages three direct reports, and reports to the CFO. This would be my first Controller role after many years of experience in audit and tech.

A company that already has 3 people that will report to you, and you not even being the CFO, does not at all sound like a “startup” to me. Companies love to label themselves as a startups because it sounds sexy lol. I would expect your salary to be in line with any high growth, small-midsize company.

Which is what salary? In your opinion
