About Owl Bookkeeping & CFO Services

Owl Bookkeeping & CFO Services is a growing outsourced accounting and advisory firm serving entrepreneurial businesses. Our team of bookkeepers, controllers, and fractional CFOs supports clients across multiple industries, providing clarity, structure, and forward-looking financial insight.

As we scale, we are seeking an experienced Fractional CFO Consultant to work with Owl directly — not with our individual clients.

About the Role (Important — Please Read Carefully)

This is not a traditional fractional CFO role where you take on and manage clients.

Instead:

Owl is your client
You will work directly with the Owner and leadership team
You will not own, service, or independently advise Owl’s clients
This is an internal consulting and advisory role

The ideal candidate already operates their own fractional CFO or advisory practice and is looking to add a small, stable consulting engagement (approximately 10-15 hours per week).

What You’ll Do

You will act as a senior financial thought partner to Owl leadership by:

Advising on complex client situations, escalations, and edge cases
Helping diagnose and resolve client bottlenecks and barriers
Supporting internal decision-making around:
Client financial strategy
Service models and boundaries
Risk management and best practices
Serving as a sounding board for high-level financial, operational, and advisory questions
Providing guidance to Owl leadership (not direct supervision of staff)
Helping strengthen Owl’s internal CFO framework and approach

Time Commitment

Approximately 10-15 hours per week
Flexible scheduling
Long-term consulting relationship preferred

Ideal Candidate Profile

Comfortable working behind the scenes as a strategic advisor
