2027 Financial Salary Guide and Employment Outlook

A Tale of Two Economies

One Market. Two Realities.

Southern California is entering 2027 with two very different economic realities.

Many established companies are operating cautiously—slowing hiring, scrutinizing budgets and asking leaner Finance and Accounting teams to do more with less.

At the same time, aerospace, defense, space, energy, robotics, medical technology and advanced manufacturing companies are raising capital, expanding operations and competing aggressively for experienced talent.

The result? A market that cannot simply be described as strong or weak. It depends on which economy you are operating in.

For Finance and Accounting leaders, understanding that distinction will be critical in 2027. AI is changing how work gets done. Private equity and family offices are creating new competition for talent. Interim professionals are helping companies navigate transformation and skill gaps. And experienced professionals who can combine technical expertise with judgment, technology and business acumen remain difficult to find.

What will 2027 mean for your company, your team and your career?
