About Neil Jesani Advisors

Neil Jesani Advisors is a multidisciplinary advisory firm serving over 1,000 ultra-high-net-worth clients across tax planning, tax controversy, trust & estate and asset protection structuring, wealth management, and business advisory. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale with an office in Las Vegas, the firm has been doubling in size annually.

We are building a dedicated Business Tax & Advisory platform to serve the businesses behind our UHNW client base—privately held companies, family enterprises, PE-backed platforms, and closely held entities with real tax and operational complexity. This is a standalone practice: no audit, no attestation—pure advisory and compliance across Business Tax, CFO Advisory, and Specialty Tax.

About the Role

We are hiring a small number of CFO Advisors to serve as the financial leadership layer for NJA’s small and mid-market business clients.

This role is designed for a senior finance professional—former CFO, Controller, or experienced fractional CFO—who wants to continue operating at a high level with institutional support and a consistent client pipeline. The role is flexible and may be full-time or contract-based, depending on individual circumstances.

NJA’s business development team generates and qualifies opportunities. You will help close engagements and then own the client relationship end-to-end—serving as the senior financial voice to ownership and management.

Engagements are structured as monthly retainers, with Advisors typically managing a portfolio of clients sized to their capacity. NJA’s offshore delivery team supports the accounting and reporting layer, allowing you to focus on CFO-level work.
