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 topline growth. You will be a key part of the company's leadership team, helping them drive towards their goals.

- Being assertive, having hard conversations with clients and challenging assumptions
