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 5–10 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 5–10 hours per week
Flexible scheduling
Long-term consulting relationship preferred

Ideal Candidate Profile

Actively running a fractional CFO, advisory, or consulting business
Comfortable working behind the scenes as a strategic advisor
Collaborative, ethical, and highly professional
Understands and respects client ownership boundaries
Enjoys problem-solving, mentoring, and systems thinking
Values long-term partnerships over short-term client acquisition

Qualifications

CPA (active or inactive) preferred
10+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or advisory roles
Proven experience advising multiple businesses across industries
Strong background in:
Financial strategy
Cash flow management
Forecasting and scenario planning
Advisory conversations with business owners
Excellent communication and judgment
High integrity and discretion required

Compensation

Hourly or monthly retainer
Competitive and based on experience
Structured as a contractor (1099) relationship

Job Types: Part-time, Contract

Pay: $55.00 - $80.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k)
401(k) matching
Flexible schedule
Paid time off
Professional development assistance

Application Question(s):

How many years of QuickBooks Online experience do you have?
Will you still roll up your sleeves and perform controller level work?
Are you wanting only part-time fractional work?
Are you willing to work in our co-working offices sometimes?

Education:
