Fractional Financial Controller / CFO (Hospitality)

Caracas Bakery • Contract • Miami, Florida, United States • $75 - $125 / hour • 3m ago

Part-Time / Fractional — Miami (Hybrid)

About the Company

Caracas Bakery is a growing, multi-location bakery and café group based in Miami. We operate several locations with additional openings planned in 2026. We are founder-led, brand-driven, and at a stage where financial discipline and profitability are the top priorities.

We are looking for a hospitality-experienced financial leader to bring structure, clarity, and accountability to our numbers and help make each location profitable on a monthly basis.

The Role

This is a fractional/part-time role (10–20 hours per week). You will work directly with the founder and leadership team to clean up financial reporting, improve margins, and build systems that support profitable growth.

This is not a bookkeeping role and not a corporate CFO seat. We are looking for someone hands-on, analytical, and comfortable working inside a fast-moving hospitality operation.

Produce clean monthly P&Ls by location
Analyze food cost, labor cost, and prime cost
Identify margin leaks and operational inefficiencies
Support menu pricing and menu engineering decisions
Build and maintain cash flow forecasts
Define break-even points per location
Create simple weekly and monthly financial dashboards
Partner with operations leadership to improve profitability
Coordinate with external accountant and payroll providers
Prepare financial insights to support expansion decisions

What Success Looks Like

Clear understanding of profitability per location
Improved EBITDA within the first 90 days
Reliable, timely financial reporting
Actionable insights that operations can execute
Founder and leadership no longer guessing about numbers

Requirements

7+ years in finance or accounting
Hospitality experience required (restaurants, bakeries, cafés, or multi-unit F&B)
Experience supporting multi-location operations
Strong understanding of labor models and food cost control
Comfortable working with POS and accounting systems (Square, Toast, QuickBooks, Restaurant365, etc.)
Experience as a Controller, Finance Director, or Fractional CFO
Direct, practical, and comfortable giving honest feedback

Nice to Have

Experience helping turn around underperforming locations
Experience working with founder-led businesses
Background in menu engineering or cost optimization

Fractional engagement: $75/hour to $125/hour, depending on experience and time commitment
Bonus potential tied to profitability improvement
Flexible schedule
