The roles at FocusCFO - make an impact, on your time 

At FocusCFO, we give seasoned financial executives, business owners, and business leaders who are seeking their next chapter the opportunity to make a profound impact on small & mid-sized businesses climbing the mountain of success. They need strategies, guidance and support - that's why they need you.

Our 200+ team members all share these attributes:

• Love what we do – are passionate about helping entrepreneurs and can relate to them.
• Firmly believe in and embody our core values.
• Have a local network and a story to tell – credibility within their local market.

CFOs at FocusCFO are locally based, part of a regional team that is led by a full time entrepreneurial business development person (Area President). We have a strong client acquisition process and do not send you out to find clients on your own.

CFOs tend to work on a long-term, recurring basis with a set of small and medium-sized enterprises. You have the flexibility to set your own schedule and the resultant number of clients you work with: most client work is local and onsite, though a growing percentage have a remote component. Overnight travel is not required. Short-term project or interim work is not what we seek.

This is not a traditional W2 opportunity. If you are at the right place in your career, it is exactly what you are looking for. 

Successful CFO candidates tend to fit the following profile:

• Passion to work alongside entrepreneurs and their teams.  To make a real difference by rolling up your sleeves, sharing experience and expertise.
• 20+ years of financial and operational experience, with a significant amount at the CFO level.
• Strong business acumen with extensive experience in strategic planning and operations.
• Track record of excellence, achievement and entrepreneurial drive.
• Relish the role of a Sherpa. Not only guiding, but climbing alongside clients as they reach for their goals, as an embedded (fractional) member of their leadership team.
• Are willing to invest in their own self-improvement, learn new skills and be coached. 
• Are a team player willing to follow the FocusCFO® process.
• Are exceptional listeners and communicators, able to develop long-term relationships as a trusted advisor.
• Want the ability to manage their own schedule, balancing personal and family responsibilities.
• Desire to be part of a 100% collaborative, team-oriented environment.
• Desire to work for at least another 5-7 years.
• Have a degree of financial security providing the flexibility appropriate for this nontraditional role.

How we operate:

•  These are not W-2 positions, CFOs are paid based on actual services provided to clients.
• We operate using a License Agreement, where an upfront investment is required to join the FocusCFO team.
