Now Hiring: Chief Financial Officer (CFO) - Service-Based Business Expertise (Remote) We're How to Manage a Small Law Firm, one of Inc. Magazine's fastest-growing private companies since 2013. We help 500+ small law firms nationwide grow stronger through outsourced CEO, COO, CFO, CMO, and bookkeeping services. We're looking for a financial leader who wants the best of both worlds: A steady stream of clients handed to you + the entrepreneurial freedom to build and scale something meaningful - without the stress of hunting for your own business. If you're brilliant at growing service-based companies but frustrated by the limits of your current role, this may be the perfect fit. Is This You? You might love this role if you... • Don't want to find your own clients anymore but still want the upside of advising multiple businesses. • Live in a region where building a consulting practice has been tough and want a company that brings the clients to you. • Are tired of industries that drain you - cannabis, crypto, financial services, etc. - and want to work with business owners who actually appreciate your expertise. • Want unlimited earning potential with the structure, systems, and support of a larger organization. • Have a growth mindset and know you can make much more when surrounded by the right team, clients, and infrastructure. • Want to be entrepreneurial - without being alone, overwhelmed, or responsible for sales, marketing, and lead gen. Why We're Not Obsessed With Law Firm Experience We work with law firms - but law firm experience is NOT a required prerequisite. What matters more is your experience growing service-based businesses, your understanding of small-business finance, and your ability to translate numbers into action. Law firm experience is a plus, not a gatekeeper. What You'll Do Serve as Fractional CFO for 20-30 small law firm clients: • Meet with clients twice per month (≈60 hrs/month client-facing) • Analyze financials, identify risks/opportunities, and create actionable plans • Hold clients accountable and drive execution • Partner with bookkeepers for accuracy • Improve systems, processes, and financial visibility What We're Looking For • 10+ years as CFO, Controller, or senior financial leader • Strong background in service-based businesses • Experience starting, scaling, or advising small companies • Strong budgeting, FP&A, forecasting, and variance analysis • Ability to clean up financials and build strong systems • Leadership experience (managed 5+ people) • High EQ, direct communicator, coach-minded Again: Law firm experience is a plus - not a must-have. This Role Is NOT for You If: • You bounce between jobs or want short-term/part-time work • You want a slow-paced corporate environment • You prefer being an employee, not an owner-minded leader • You dislike accountability or managing multiple clients • You can't translate numbers into clear business decisions • You've never supported or led a small-to-mid-size service firm Compensation • Base Salary: $110,000 • Performance Pay: Up to $182,000 annually depending on client roster Your earning potential scales with your impact - not your hours. Important Notes • Remote, full-time • Must reside in: AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, WA • Equal Opportunity Employer Ready to Apply? PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE JOB DESCRIPTION BEFORE APPLYING If you're a strategic financial leader who wants a role with structure, unlimited upside, no client-hunting, and the chance to help small business owners transform their companies - we'd love to hear from you.
