Job description

Interim Chief Financial Officerย 
Ascent CFO Solutions

At Ascent CFO Solutions, we are a leading Fractional CFO services firm dedicated to providing strategic financial leadership and insights to startups and SMEs. Our mission is to empower businesses to achieve financial clarity and sustainable growth. As we continue to expand our services and client base, we are seeking experienced Interim Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) to join our dynamic team of fractional financial professionals.

In this full-time (~40 hours/week) contractor role, you will serve as a trusted advisor to a diverse portfolio of clients navigating transformation, rapid growth, operational improvements, fundraising, M&A, and exit preparation. This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial opportunity for a finance leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys working across industries.


Position Overview

As an Interim CFO, you will step into organizations during critical transition periodsโ€”whether covering a leave of absence, filling a gap between permanent CFOs, supporting a restructuring, or stabilizing the finance function during rapid growth. You will provide immediate executive-level financial leadership, ensuring continuity, stability, and strategic direction while maintaining business momentum. You will be accountable for client satisfaction, deliverable accuracy, timeliness, and overall engagement success.

Our clients include startups, scale-ups, privately held companies, and VC- and PE-backed organizations across a wide range of industries such as Technology, SaaS, Professional Services, Construction, Manufacturing, eCommerce, Healthcare, CPG, FinTech, Real Estate, and more.


Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as a strategic partner and โ€œright handโ€ to CEOs and executive teams

  • Develop and execute comprehensive financial strategies aligned with business goals

  • Build and maintain financial models, rolling forecasts, and cash flow projections

  • Lead budgeting processes and analyze budget-to-actual performance

  • Identify and monitor key financial trends, KPIs, and business metrics

  • Develop executive dashboards and board-ready reporting packages

  • Support and lead fundraising efforts, including venture capital and private equity transactions

  • Lead M&A initiatives, including due diligence, valuation support, and post-acquisition integration

  • Oversee or directly manage month-end close processes and financial reporting

  • Assess and improve accounting processes, systems, and internal controls

  • Coordinate annual audits and manage tax return processes

  • Present financial results and strategic insights to Boards of Directors and shareholders

  • Lead client onboarding engagements, including financial assessments and transition planning


Ideal Candidate Profile
  • 15+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience

  • Several years serving as a full-time CFO

  • Bachelorโ€™s degree required; CPA license and/or MBA strongly preferred

  • Demonstrated experience as a strategic financial leader and executive partner

  • Proven success working with fast-growth companies

  • Extensive experience building financial forecasts and cash flow models

  • Strong background in M&A, including due diligence and integration

  • Experience raising capital, particularly within the venture capital ecosystem

  • Comfortable operating in both strategic and hands-on capacities

  • Experience working across multiple industries

  • Strong ERP and accounting systems experience (QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and similar platforms)

  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel; Google Sheets experience a plus

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with exceptional communication and leadership skills
