This role exhibits a wide band width of $73,340, highlighting that financial management pay scales vary greatly in this market. While the national median for the Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing industry is $210,870, local reporting is derived from the broad Financial Managers SOC, which covers diverse business sectors. Manufacturing Headhunters notes that executives often negotiate base pay structures independently of these standard averages.
