Top Companies Hiring for Finance Jobs in New York (Oct 2026)

You want a finance job in New York and you need to know who is actually hiring before you send another application. Here is the picture from JobRise's live feed on 14 October 2026: 74 open listings in the Finance jobs in New York category. These are counts of live listings, not a market survey, so treat them as a dated snapshot.

Of those 74, 51 were posted in the last 30 days and 22 in the last 7 days. Fresh volume is real, which means a resume sent this week lands in active pipelines.

The companies with the most open listings#

These are the employers with the most open finance listings in New York, counted on 14 October 2026. Names appear exactly as on the listings, and some are recruiters or staffing firms, so a posting may not be a direct hire at that brand.

• Datadog: 11 open listings
• Ramp: 9
• Neuberger Berman: 7
• Justworks: 7
• Squarespace: 4
• Brex: 4
• Fuku: 2
• WealthBridge Financial Group: 2
• Robinhood: 2
• Mixpanel: 2

Read the list as a map of where to spend your time, not as a ranking of employers. Two listings at a small firm can be a faster hire than eleven at a large one.

What the role titles tell you#

Titles are the only company facts worth trusting here. They show the shape of demand.

Neuberger Berman spans the range: "Deal and Order Management Systems Lead- Private Markets Investment Technology," "Compliance Analyst," "COO, Specialty Finance," and "Controller - ILS/Direct Access." That mix says technology, compliance, operations, and accounting sit in one hiring pool.

Datadog lists "FP&A Analyst, Cloud Finance," a classic corporate finance seat. Energy Infrastructure Partners LLC is hiring a "Director of Financial Planning and Analysis." Man Group has a "Compliance Officer." Bully Pulpit International lists "Jr. Commercial Contracts Counsel."

Full-time rules the market. 73 of 74 listings are full-time and 1 is part-time. Entry-level openings are scarce: 1 of 74, the "Jr. Commercial Contracts Counsel" role at Bully Pulpit International. If you are early career, plan on transferable experience and a longer runway.

How New York compares with the country#

New York holds 74 of the 701 Finance jobs listings across the United States on this snapshot date. That is roughly one in nine finance listings nationwide sitting in one city, which is why national searches feel crowded here.

For broader context, the JobRise Hiring Report: the US tracks hiring direction across the country. It helps to know whether national finance hiring is rising or cooling before you negotiate or set expectations.

One more anchor: New York has 1,165 open listings across all categories. Finance is a meaningful slice, but not the whole city market.

What the posted salaries say#

Only 10 of 74 listings show pay. Where pay appears, it is high and it varies widely. Treat these as posted figures, not market averages.

Ramp posts the widest spread: "Business Lead" at $160K, $275K with equity, and "Director, Strategic Finance" at $280K, $385K with equity. Its "Channel Partner Manager, Accounting" shows $14K, $214K with equity and commission across multiple ranges, so ask what the realistic first-year total is.

"Partner Development Representative | Accounting" at Ramp lists $110K, $120K with equity and commission, described as total OTE with a 70/30 split. Patreon's "Director, Indirect Tax" shows $232K, $348K with equity. Ramp's "Financial Crimes Compliance Strategist" shows $126K, $175K with equity across multiple ranges.

Ranges move with level, equity, and commission structure. Verify the current official posting and ask the recruiter directly.

How to target each type of employer#

Large asset managers like Neuberger Berman and Man Group hire for control and precision. Mirror their vocabulary: reconciliation, controls, regulatory reporting, NAV, AIFMD, or whatever the posting names. Show you can operate inside a process.

Fintech and product companies like Ramp, Brex, Robinhood, Datadog, and Mixpanel want speed and ownership. Quantify outcomes in dollars, hours saved, or error reduction. Show you have worked close to product or engineering.

Mid-size operating firms like Justworks, Squarespace, and Fuku want a finance person who can build. Emphasize systems work, month-end ownership, and cross-functional partnership.

Recruiters and staffing firms on the list want a clean, fast read. Give them a one-page resume with clear titles, dates, and a target role stated at the top.

Referral and outreach scripts#

Use these as written, then adjust the details to fit.

Referral ask to a connection:

"Hi Maya, I saw the FP&A Analyst, Cloud Finance role at Datadog and it lines up with my work in cloud cost reporting at Acme. Would you be comfortable referring me? I have attached my resume so it is easy to forward. Either way, thanks."

Cold message to a hiring manager:

"Hello Jordan, your open Director of Financial Planning and Analysis listing caught my eye. At Acme I rebuilt the forecast model and cut close from nine days to five. If the role is still open, I would value ten minutes to hear what success looks like in the first six months."

Follow-up after applying:

"Hi Sam, I applied for the Compliance Analyst role on Monday and wanted to close the loop. My background is in transaction monitoring at Acme, and I have the Series 7 and 66. Happy to share references if useful."

The 7-step plan#

1. Pick your lane. Choose FP&A, accounting, compliance, or finance systems, and target one lane first.
2. List ten employers. Draw from the counts above and add adjacent names from the listings.
3. Rewrite your top three bullets. Use the worked example below for each target role.
4. Research before you apply. Use the free company insights tool to check what a company does and how it talks about itself.
5. Apply in the first three days. 22 listings went live in the last 7 days, so speed matters.
6. Send one referral ask and one cold message per target company. Small numbers, real follow-through.
7. Track weekly. Log applications, replies, and interviews every Friday and adjust the next week's targets.

Worked example of a rewritten bullet:

Before: "Responsible for monthly reporting and analysis."

After: "Rebuilt the monthly forecast model for a $40M cost center, cutting close from 9 days to 5 and surfacing $1.2M in unused commitments."

The second version names the scale, the action, and the result. That is what a hiring manager can picture.
