This role involves leading strategic financial discussions, managing a portfolio of client engagements, and providing decision-grade financial insights to help clients improve their profitability and decision-making processes.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary financial leader and trusted executive partner for a portfolio of growth-focused clients across construction, distribution, and professional services
- Build and maintain the 13-week cash forecast and the rolling 12-month profit forecast for each client, and run the monthly leadership meeting that anchors decisions to those numbers
- Lead the gross-margin rebuild job costing, work-in-progress, pricing teardown, and cost-of-delivery analysis until every client knows where they make money and where they don't
- Translate complex financial data into clear, decision-grade insights tied to the owner's specific goals
- Surface risks, tradeoffs, and opportunities before the client asks
- Advise on capital planning, debt strategy, and acquisition financing when the conversation gets there
- Challenge unrealistic plans thoughtfully and hold leadership accountable to execution
- Ensure financial reporting and systems support decision-making, not just compliance
- Participate in firm-building peer reviews, client reference calls, and occasional brand-building activity inside your network
Skills
- 20+ years of progressive experience in finance and/or operations, with 10+ years sitting in a true CFO seat (controller, accounting manager, and bookkeeper roles do not qualify on their own)
- Demonstrated executive presence with founders, CEOs, and senior leadership teams
- Proven ability to influence decisions, challenge thinking, and coach leaders without resorting to authority or title
- Direct experience inside founder-led businesses in the $10M–$100M revenue range (construction, distribution, trades, professional services, or similar complex operating businesses)
- You have built, scaled, or fixed a business not just analyzed one from the outside
- Comfort working with imperfect data, evolving systems, and entrepreneurial chaos
- Emotionally steady, accountable, solution-oriented, and resilient under pressure
- Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
- Prior fractional or multi-client CFO experience is preferred but not required if your in-seat experience is deep
