Finance Director Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a finance director in Florida?

The most direct path to a finance director role in Florida starts with a bachelor's degree in finance or accounting, followed by earning a CPA license through the Florida Board of Accountancy, which requires passing the Uniform CPA Examination and meeting Florida's education and experience requirements. Most Florida employers expect candidates to have progressed through senior accountant or controller roles before reaching the director level, with an MBA offering a meaningful edge in competitive markets like Miami and Tampa.

Which companies hire finance directors in Florida?

Employers hiring finance directors in Florida right now include Alvarez & Marsal, Troon, and Supplied Talent, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's mix of large healthcare systems, hospitality conglomerates, and regional financial institutions makes it one of the more varied markets in the Southeast for senior finance roles.

Which Florida cities have the most finance director jobs?

Miami, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale have the most finance director openings in Florida. Miami's concentration in financial services, private equity, and international trade drives the bulk of openings there, while Tampa's growing corporate headquarters cluster and Orlando's large healthcare and hospitality employers sustain steady demand in those metros.

Are there remote finance director jobs in Florida?

Yes, and more than many senior roles, since finance director work is largely desk-based and analytical. About 46% of finance director openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's suitability for distributed leadership. The portions of the job most commonly performed remotely include financial reporting, forecasting, and board-level presentations, while strategic planning and team oversight often pull candidates on-site.

How can I get hired as a finance director in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is moving into a senior financial analyst or controller role first, then building toward the director level over several years. Large Florida healthcare systems such as HCA Florida Healthcare and BayCare Health System regularly hire financial analysts and accounting supervisors into structured development tracks. Earning a CPA license through the Florida Board of Accountancy, or pursuing a CMA credential, signals readiness for director-track consideration and separates candidates who are still building experience from those ready to lead.

Where can I find and apply to finance director jobs in Florida?

You can find and apply to finance director jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings updated regularly. Search the listings to identify roles that match your experience and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
