The largest companies in NYC: 30 headquarters ranked by revenue in their latest filings

This ranking is for readers who need New York City's biggest headquarters in order with figures they can check: job seekers, suppliers and agencies chasing corporate accounts, analysts, and B2B sellers planning enterprise territory. For the full business market of 235,767 establishments, see businesses in New York City.

The 30 largest companies headquartered in New York City

Each row comes from the company's latest annual report on Form 10-K: the principal executive office on its cover page, revenue as reported (total revenues, net revenues for banks and brokers, or net sales), and the headcount in its human capital section. All 30 have their head offices in Manhattan.

Headcounts are worldwide unless noted and use each filing's own definition. Equitable Holdings ($11.67 billion), International Flavors & Fragrances ($10.89 billion) and Jefferies ($10.82 billion) are next.

How to read the ranking

Four things change the order more than you'd expect:

1. Banks report net revenue. Citigroup's income statement shows $85.23 billion of total revenues, net of interest expense. Its gross interest and dividend income was $142.86 billion, the figure some databases use, which would wrongly put it third. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are also ranked on net revenues ($58.28 billion and $70.65 billion).
2. Gross trading revenue. StoneX books the full value of physical commodities it sells: $132.38 billion of total revenues became $2.05 billion of net operating revenues. Galaxy Digital's $60.41 billion is almost all digital asset sales ($59.85 billion). Ranked by net revenue, neither would make the top 30.
3. Deals inside the year. Paramount Skydance's 2025 figure combines two reporting periods in its 10-K, the predecessor Paramount Global to August 6 ($16.62 billion) and the merged company from August 7 ($12.27 billion). Omnicom's includes Interpublic Group only from the merger's completion in late November 2025.
4. Fiscal years differ. Fox and Estee Lauder report years ending in June 2026, Kyndryl in March 2026 and StoneX in September 2025, so the table mixes 12-month periods.

Consolidated Edison's XBRL data tags $17.05 billion of revenue from contracts with customers, but its income statement total is $16.92 billion; the table uses the income statement.

Who isn't on the list, and why

Private companies and mutual insurers are also missing, because they don't file 10-Ks. Travelers is the opposite case: the SEC's company record still shows St. Paul, Minnesota, but its 10-K names its Manhattan office as the principal executive office, so it's on the list.

Fortune 500 companies in New York

Fortune ranks by revenue too, with its own definitions and cutoffs, and it counts metro areas rather than the city. The Greater Houston Partnership's tally of the 2026 Fortune 500 puts 62 in the New York metro area, the most of any US metro, a count that includes the Westchester, New Jersey and Connecticut headquarters above. Some of the lists that rank highly in search are older: Baruch College's NYCdata ranking of New York City headquarters uses Fortune's 2019 figures. Use Fortune's site for its ranks and this table for figures you can trace to a current filing.

What the top 30 look like

Finance in all its forms is 19 of the 30 companies and about 73% of the revenue. That concentration matches the Census data for the five boroughs, where finance and insurance has 4.1% of establishments but 27.4% of payroll.

Selling to New York's largest companies

Expect a vendor onboarding process before any purchase order: a supplier portal, a security questionnaire, insurance certificates and payment terms set by the buyer. For the banks and insurers, the security review is not optional. New York's Department of Financial Services requires every company licensed under the state's Banking, Insurance or Financial Services Law to run a risk-based cybersecurity program under its Part 500 regulation, and that program reaches the vendors who touch their systems or data. The 10-K helps you aim: segment reporting names the business units with their own budgets, and the human capital section tells you how many people a per-seat product would cover.

Illustrative example. The seller and its figures are fictional; the company figures are from the table.

Varick Risk (varickrisk.example) sells software that automates vendor security questionnaires and wants the third-party risk teams at the 14 banks, brokers, payment companies and insurers in the top 30.

• Those 14 reported $891.5 billion in combined revenue, so each runs hundreds or thousands of vendor reviews a year.
• At $90,000 a year per company, three wins would be $270,000 of annual revenue.
• Because sales cycles at this size run two or three budget rounds, it starts with the four whose third-party risk leaders have changed in the last year, then works the rest.

Bebop can find the third-party risk and vendor management leaders at each of the 14 and draft outreach that reflects what each says about cybersecurity in its 10-K.

Subject: Vendor reviews at [Company]

Hi [first name],

[Company]'s 10-K describes how much of your operations depend on third parties. At most firms your size, the team reviewing those vendors is the bottleneck: questionnaires go out by email and come back months later.

We automate the questionnaire cycle for New York banks and insurers, with evidence mapped to the controls your examiners ask about. Would a 20-minute look at how one insurer cut review time in half be useful?

[Your name], Varick Risk
