Role Description

HTM is hiring a battle-tested CFO who has helped businesses become financially disciplined, profitable, and scalable—not just someone who produces financial reports. This is not a passive accounting or advisory role. We are looking for a hands-on financial operator who understands how to install financial systems, enforce accountability around numbers, and drive measurable improvements in profitability and cash flow.

To be considered, you must have:

  • 10+ years of senior financial leadership experience
  • Direct experience working with companies generating between $10M and $30M+ in annual revenue

If your background is limited to financial reporting without directly influencing profitability, pricing, cash flow, and operational decisions, this role will not be a fit.

What This Role Really Is:

  • You will serve as a CFO-level coach and financial execution partner to law firm owners across the country.
  • This role blends strategic financial leadership with disciplined execution and accountability.

Your role includes:

  • Diagnosing Financial Issues: Identifying profitability leaks, pricing problems, expense inefficiencies, and cash flow risks.
  • Driving Financial Outcomes: Turning financial insights into clear, actionable steps that improve margins, revenue discipline, and financial stability.
  • Enforcing Financial Accountability: Holding firm owners accountable to financial targets, commitments, and operational discipline.

A Day in the Life:

  • Conduct high-level 1:1 financial strategy calls with law firm owners.
  • Review financial statements, cash flow reports, KPIs, and performance dashboards.
  • Help owners understand the story behind their numbers and what actions they need to take.
  • Identify risks and opportunities in pricing, expenses, staffing, and operational performance.
  • Guide owners through budgeting, forecasting, and forward-looking financial decisions.
  • Document commitments and track measurable financial progress.
  • Respond to client communication within established white-glove service standards.
  • Participate in internal leadership sessions focused on scaling the HTM mission.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of senior financial leadership experience (CFO, Fractional CFO, or equivalent).
  • Direct experience working with companies generating $10M–$30M+ in annual revenue.
  • Proven record of improving profitability, cash flow, or financial performance in a business.
  • Experience working with small businesses, professional services firms, or founder-led organizations.
  • Deep experience with financial forecasting, budgeting, and financial modeling.
  • Ability to teach non-financial business owners how to make better financial decisions.
  • Experience building financial dashboards, KPIs, and performance tracking systems.

Requirements

  • This role is ideal for a financial operator who enjoys working directly with business owners and influencing real financial outcomes—not just producing reports or managing internal accounting teams.
  • You will thrive in this role if you are:
    • A Fractional or Advisory CFO
    • A Former CFO Who Wants More Direct Impact
    • A Financial Leader Who Enjoys Coaching Entrepreneurs
    • An Operator Who Connects Numbers to Strategy
    • Someone Who Values Measurable Outcomes
    • A Professional Who Thrives in Accountability-Driven Environments
    • Someone Who Wants to Influence Multiple Businesses

Benefits

  • 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.
