Chief Financial Officer (PT and FT opportunities available)
Job Title: CFO
Pay rate: $35-$40 hourly rate, depending on experience; part-time and full-time opportunities available
Capital CFO+ outsources bookkeeping and financial oversight services to small-to-mid-sized companies and nonprofits. The position is responsible for a roster of clients with flexible scheduling. Position is home office based with on-site work at client locations required.
Our experienced team of consultant CFOs is responsible for managing clients' finances, including financial planning, management of financial risks, recordkeeping, and financial reporting. Our CFOs are also responsible for the analysis of data.
We are seeking both CFOs experienced in business, and those experienced in managing finances for non-profit organizations
Duties:
  • Preparation and management of Financial Statements
  • Strategic Planning & Budgeting
  • Ensuring segregation of costs
  • Act as liaison and manage reporting and relationships with a company's bank, insurance & external auditors
  • Partner Resource: navigate the process with and for our clients to make sure they are covered in all areas of their business.

  • 1-3 years' experience as a CFO or controller required

To complete a full employment application,
Capital CFO + is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local laws.
We believe that diversity and inclusion strengthen our organization and are dedicated to creating an environment where all individuals are respected, valued, and empowered to contribute fully. All employment decisions are based on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
Flexible work from home options available.
Compensation: $30.00 - $35.00 per hour
We seek to take the burden and over-whelm of your financials and back-end business tasks off your plate; offering you a sense of relief and time to focus your attention on building your business.
What Sets Us Apart
We are relationship-driven and focused on providing successful solutions for our clients. Transparency and efficiency are key values we hold true to in our work. We support, we lead and we provide. We work in your business, so that you can focus your attention on growing your business.
We reduce costs
Hiring and training full or part-time staff can be very expensive. Paying for an employee with benefits is costly. Many companies and nonprofits either do not need a full-time position OR need additional help that does not require an additional in-house employee. Working with Capital CFO+ lets you focus your human resources where you need them most.
We improve efficiency
When you have an expert working on a project, they will be faster, effective, and efficient. Working with Capital CFO+ gives owners and leaders an essential competitive advantage. By outsourcing activities that are routine, administrative, or require specialized skills, you can focus more on core functions and ensure that your company thrives and succeeds.
We level the playing field
Most small firms simply can't afford to match the in-house support services that larger companies maintain. Capital CFO+ helps small firms act "big" by giving them access to the same economies of scale, efficiency, and expertise that large companies enjoy.
Our Mission
We are here to be your business partner. From simplifying your finances, to priori-tizing your back-end needs, we listen to your objectives and work to put the pieces of your business together to form a solid foundation and a brand built for success.
  • Explaining your financials so they are straightforward and easy to understand.
  • Being transparent with our work and allowing you to be, too.
  • Being accurate and exact with our reporting and recordkeeping.
