8,157 active roles, straight from company career pages.
There are 8,157 active finance jobs on JobFerret right now, and the spread across role types tells a story about how companies build their finance teams as they grow. Early-stage companies hire an accountant first, someone to close the books and keep the auditors happy. Then, as revenue becomes complex enough to plan around, a financial planning and analysis hire follows. The controller role typically comes later still, sitting above the accounting function and owning the integrity of every number that flows upward. Understanding where a company sits on that maturity curve is often the most useful filter when you are deciding which roles to pursue.
Accounting roles form the broadest base of the market. Staff accountants, senior accountants, and accounts payable specialists appear at every stage of company growth and in virtually every industry. FP&A roles, by contrast, tend to cluster at companies that have moved past survival mode and are actively modeling growth scenarios, building three-statement models, and presenting to leadership on a regular cadence. Controller and VP of Finance postings are rarer and carry a broader scope, often requiring someone who can manage both the backward-looking accounting function and the forward-looking planning work simultaneously.
Among the top hiring organizations on the platform right now, bjakcareer leads with 278 open finance roles, followed by iqeq with 90, turnertownsend with 50, andurilindustries and databricks each with 46, and unitedmedia with 39.

Geography is worth noting carefully. Among roles with a stated location, the top clusters include the United States broadly (63 listings), San Francisco (60), London (45), and New York (42). Remote roles account for 79 listings among those with a stated location, and 23% of all active finance postings on JobFerret are tagged as remote. That said, 547 listings carry no location at all, which means the true geographic distribution is wider than any single snapshot can show.
Whether you are a newly credentialed CPA looking for your first close cycle, an FP&A analyst who wants to move from reporting to strategic modeling, or a seasoned controller ready to own a full finance organization, the depth of the current market gives you real options. Use the filters above to narrow by role type, seniority, industry, or location and find the position that matches where you are in your own finance career arc.
Accounting roles are primarily focused on recording, reconciling, and reporting historical financial data. FP&A roles focus on forecasting, budgeting, and analysis to support forward-looking business decisions. In a job search, the distinction matters because the required skills, tools, and day-to-day responsibilities differ significantly, even when both titles sit inside the same finance department.
Controller roles generally emerge once a company has enough accounting complexity to require dedicated oversight of the entire accounting function. This often happens after a company has established recurring revenue, taken on outside investment, or begun preparing for an audit. The controller typically manages the accounting team and reports to a CFO or VP of Finance.
Yes. Among listings with a stated location, 79 are tagged as remote, and 23% of all active finance postings carry a remote designation. The actual number of location-flexible roles may be higher, as a large share of listings do not specify a location at all.
