The Role

You will take leadership of a portfolio of growth-minded clients and be their CFO. You will help them define success, create the path there, and coach them along the way. Drawing upon your extensive background in accounting & finance you’ll help provide valuable insights into their business’s performance and how to impact their bottom and top line growth. You’ll be surrounded with an awesome team of accountants, tax experts and financial analysts to support you, so that you are able to operate in a CFO capacity: forward-looking and strategic thinking.
