Fractional Project information

What is a Fractional Project job?

A Fractional Project job refers to a role where a professional is hired on a part-time, contract, or temporary basis to manage specific projects without being a full-time employee. This allows companies to access experienced project managers or specialists for short-term or specialized initiatives while controlling costs. Fractional project professionals often work with multiple clients at once, bringing broad industry expertise and flexibility.

How does working as a Fractional Project Manager differ from a full-time project management position?

As a Fractional Project Manager, you typically serve multiple clients or departments on a part-time or contract basis rather than working full-time for a single employer. This means you'll need to adapt quickly to different organizational cultures and processes, manage priorities across projects, and ensure effective communication with diverse stakeholders. The role often offers more flexibility and autonomy, which can be attractive to experienced project managers seeking variety and work-life balance. However, it can also require strong self-management skills and the ability to handle competing deadlines. Being proactive and organized is key to thriving in this dynamic work structure.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Fractional Project position, and why are they important?

To excel as a Fractional Project Manager, you need strong project management expertise, experience overseeing multiple initiatives, and a background in your industry of focus. Familiarity with tools like Asana, Trello, Microsoft Project, and relevant project management certifications (such as PMP or Agile) is commonly required. Excellent communication, time management, and the ability to quickly integrate into different teams make candidates stand out. These skills are essential for delivering results, maintaining stakeholder alignment, and driving projects forward in a part-time or consultant capacity.

Job description

About the Role

We are a growing, services-based recruiting firm seeking a Fractional Controller to design and oversee our financial reporting, profitability analysis, and forecasting. We already work with a bookkeeping firm that handles day-to-day transactions. This role is about financial structure, insight, and decision support, not data entry.

This is a fractional engagement with the potential to evolve as the business scales.

What You'll Own

Initial Setup (first 30-60 days)

  • Design a GAAP-compliant chart of accounts aligned to how the business actually operates
  • Define accounting structure for profitability by search, client, and recruiter
  • Establish cost allocation logic for recruiter compensation, overhead, and shared expenses
  • Define monthly close process and reporting cadence in partnership with the bookkeeper
  • Build core financial models, including:
  • Search and client-level profitability
  • Recruiter productivity and margin analysis
  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Hiring and headcount impact scenarios

Ongoing (monthly)

  • Review monthly close prepared by the bookkeeping firm
  • Deliver management reporting with clear insights, not just financial statements
  • Maintain and update forecasts and scenario models
  • Act as a finance thought partner for hiring, growth, and cash decisions
  • Ensure consistency and accuracy across reporting periods

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not bookkeeping or transaction entry
  • Not payroll processing
  • Not AR/AP execution
  • Not tax preparation

This role is explicitly focused on designing financial systems and interpreting results, not recording activity.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • Prior experience as a Controller, Senior Controller, or Finance Lead
  • Strong GAAP and accrual accounting foundation
  • Demonstrated FP&A experience, including forecasting, scenario modeling, and variance analysis
  • Experience supporting professional services, recruiting, or project-based businesses
  • Proven ability to build and maintain:
  • Profitability models by client, project, or service line
  • Cash flow and hiring forecasts used for real decisions
    • Comfort working with QuickBooks or Xero data
    • Ability to translate financial data into clear, actionable guidance for operators

Nice to Have

  • CPA license
  • Prior fractional or startup experience
  • Experience partnering with external bookkeeping firms
  • Background supporting founder-led or growth-stage companies

Engagement Details

  • Fractional, contract-based role
  • Expected workload:
  • Initial setup: ~10-20 hours total
  • Ongoing: ~3-8 hours per month
    • Fully remote
    • Competitive hourly or monthly retainer based on experience
