Small Business Chief Financial Officer / (Remote) Turning Financial Data Into Confident Decisions for High-Growth Entrepreneurs Location: Remote (Must reside in: AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, WA) Position Type: Full-Time (40–45 hours/week) Compensation: $110,000 Base | $182,000 Target OTE | Elite Benefits Bundle Are You a Financial Technician or a Courageous Leader? Most small business owners make massive decisions based on feelings rather than what their financial statements are actually telling them. We are looking for an insightful, high-EQ financial professional who can look past the numbers, connect the dots to a business owner's personal motivations, and help them make courageous growth decisions. If you think a trend report is genuinely exciting, read budget variances for fun, and have the emotional intelligence to coach entrepreneurs out of "crazy town" without taking their resistance personally—we need to talk. Who Are We? We are How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm (HTM), the leading fractional C-suite provider for solo and small law firms nationwide. (No prior law firm experience required—we'll teach you the industry, just treat them like small businesses). We are an Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Company every year since 2013 and are on pace to double over the next 24 months. Our culture is built on 100% personal responsibility, high performance, and zero corporate BS. We also love working with parents because we value true calendar flexibility (and we don't mind when kids "Zoom bomb" our meetings). The Mission: What You’ll Actually Do You will step in as the fractional CFO/Controller for a dedicated roster of up to 30 clients (gross revenues mostly under $10MM).

• Zero Sales/Marketing: We do 100% of the hunting. You focus entirely on delivery and relationship building.
• The Schedule: Completely remote. ~60 hours/month of client-facing time (via Zoom/phone) plus independent file prep and internal alignment.
• The Execution: Analyze financials to spot trends and risks, go toe-to-toe with bookkeepers to fix messy data, and deliver hard truths to the business owner with a mix of radical candor and humor.

What We’re Looking For

• The Pedigree: A strong financial/accounting background with a relevant business degree (emphasis in accounting/finance strongly preferred).
• The Battle Scars: Hands-on experience advising under-capitalized small business owners who aren't financially literate. You must be able to explain complex FP&A data in plain English.
• The Core Traits: A massive bias for growth (you know you can’t cost-cut an entrepreneur to prosperity), high emotional intelligence, and the confidence to hold clients accountable to their own goals.

Who This Is NOT For

• ❌ QuickBooks-only operators or textbook accounting theorists.
• ❌ People who want to delegate the down-and-dirty analysis to someone else.
• ❌ Corporate traditionalists who need rigid, slow-moving structures to thrive.
• ❌ Part-time seekers. This is a highly flexible, work-from-home role, but it is strictly full-time (40–45 hours/week).

The Perks & Elite Compensation

• The Pay: $110,000 base salary with performance incentives built to predictably scale you to $182,000/year.
• The Coverage: Outstanding medical, dental, and vision for you and your family (75% company-covered) + free short- and long-term disability.
• The Future: 401(k) match up to 3.5%, pet insurance, and legal coverage.
• The Rest: Unlimited PTO, an exceptional EAP program, entirely closed for the week of Thanksgiving, plus one additional mandatory week off per year.
• The Growth: Free access to elite personal and professional development programs that cost our clients hundreds of thousands of dollars.
