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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
Remote, full-time
Must reside in: AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, VA, WA
Equal Opportunity Employer

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.
