My Cfo Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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.

Comp & Benefits

• Compensation: $120–$140 per hour, based on experience.

• Comprehensive Health: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance (available to all employees averaging 25+ hours/week).
