Job description

Fractional CFO - Ascent CFO Solutions
What if your next executive role gave you the impact of a CFO seat, without the 70-hour weeks?
Ascent CFO Solutions is expanding our bench of experienced financial leaders for high-impact, fractional CFO engagements. You'll step into the CFO seat for fast-growing companies that need your expertise - from early-stage startups to VC- and PE-backed companies scaling past $50M - and drive their financial strategy, on a schedule that works for you.
The Role: Impact Without the Overhead
As a Fractional CFO, you aren't just an advisor, you are a catalyst for growth. You will step in as a trusted strategic partner (and occasionally a hands-on builder), tailoring your approach to what each client needs.
Your day-to-day will focus on:
  • Strategic Advisory: Partnering directly with CEOs and executive teams to design, pressure-test, and execute financial strategies.
  • Capital & Advisory Strategy: Leading clients through fundraising rounds and M&A transactions, from initial valuation and due diligence to seamless post-merger integration.
  • Financial Architecture: Constructing robust financial models, dynamic rolling forecasts, agile cash-flow projections, and KPI dashboards that leadership teams actually look forward to reviewing.
  • Governance & Leadership: Presenting high-impact financial narratives to Boards and shareholders, while providing oversight to internal or client-side accounting teams.
  • Operational Excellence: Modernizing accounting processes, internal controls, and overseeing audit/tax readiness.

What You Bring to the Team
We are looking for seasoned executive leaders who can walk into a room, instantly command respect, and bring order to chaos.
  • Executive Track Record: 15-20+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, with at least 5 years in a true CFO seat.
  • The Right Hand Factor: You are a strategic visionary, not just a spreadsheet steward. You know how to translate complex data into an actionable business strategy for CEOs.
  • Dealmaking Muscle: Proven, hands-on experience navigating venture capital fundraising and leading M&A deals from inception to integration.
  • Industry Agility: Comfortable pivoting across diverse sectors like Tech, SaaS, Manufacturing, Healthcare, and Real Estate.
  • Willingness to Build: While you operate at the highest strategic level, you aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and dive into QBO, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct when a client needs it.
  • Credentials: Bachelor's degree required; CPA and/or MBA are highly preferred. Advanced mastery of Excel is non-negotiable (Google Sheets proficiency is a strong plus).
  • Location: While this is a flexible, remote-first role with some purposeful client time, candidates residing in Colorado, Arizona, or Florida are highly preferred.

Why Ascent CFO Solutions?
We don't just offer gig work; we offer a premium ecosystem backed by a 15-year reputation.
  • True Autonomy: Design your ideal schedule. Most of our CFOs choose to maintain a highly rewarding 25-35+ hour work week.
  • A Built-in Engine: Skip the grueling hustle of business development. We bring the clients to you, backed by a world-class team of Controllers and Accountants ready to support your engagements.
  • An Elite Community: Join a collaborative, brilliant network of financial peers who share insights, solve problems together, and celebrate wins.
  • Proven Growth: Work with a recognized leader-we are a 3x Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Company and a 4x Winner of Built In's Best Places to Work!

Comp & Benefits
Unlike traditional independent consulting, Ascent offers the stability of a W2 position alongside competitive corporate benefits.
  • Compensation: $120-$140 per hour, based on experience.
  • Comprehensive Health: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (available to all employees averaging 25+ hours/week).
  • Retirement: 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
  • Financial Upside: Lucrative bonus structures and commission eligibility for business development efforts.
  • Growth & Tech Support: Quarterly professional development stipends and dedicated technology allowances.
  • Time to Recharge: Paid sick time, holiday time, and volunteer time.
  • Culture: Active mentoring opportunities and a highly collaborative remote environment with occasional, optional in-person team building.

Equal Opportunity Employer
Ascent CFO Solutions is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity, foster an inclusive culture, and are committed to creating an equitable environment for all brilliant minds on our team.
