[Hiring] Chief Financial Officer @How to Manage a Small Law Firm

Role Description

HTM is hiring a battle-tested CFO who has helped businesses become financially disciplined, profitable, and scalable—not just someone who produces financial reports. This is not a passive accounting or advisory role. We are looking for a hands-on financial operator who understands how to install financial systems, enforce accountability around numbers, and drive measurable improvements in profitability and cash flow.

To be considered, you must have:

• 10+ years of senior financial leadership experience
• Direct experience working with companies generating between $10M and $30M+ in annual revenue

If your background is limited to financial reporting without directly influencing profitability, pricing, cash flow, and operational decisions, this role will not be a fit.

What This Role Really Is:

• You will serve as a CFO-level coach and financial execution partner to law firm owners across the country.
• This role blends strategic financial leadership with disciplined execution and accountability.

Your role includes:

• Diagnosing Financial Issues: Identifying profitability leaks, pricing problems, expense inefficiencies, and cash flow risks.
• Driving Financial Outcomes: Turning financial insights into clear, actionable steps that improve margins, revenue discipline, and financial stability.
• Enforcing Financial Accountability: Holding firm owners accountable to financial targets, commitments, and operational discipline.

A Day in the Life:

• Conduct high-level 1:1 financial strategy calls with law firm owners.
• Review financial statements, cash flow reports, KPIs, and performance dashboards.
• Help owners understand the story behind their numbers and what actions they need to take.
• Identify risks and opportunities in pricing, expenses, staffing, and operational performance.
• Guide owners through budgeting, forecasting, and forward-looking financial decisions.
• Document commitments and track measurable financial progress.
• Respond to client communication within established white-glove service standards.
• Participate in internal leadership sessions focused on scaling the HTM mission.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of senior financial leadership experience (CFO, Fractional CFO, or equivalent).
• Direct experience working with companies generating $10M–$30M+ in annual revenue.
• Proven record of improving profitability, cash flow, or financial performance in a business.
• Experience working with small businesses, professional services firms, or founder-led organizations.
• Deep experience with financial forecasting, budgeting, and financial modeling.
• Ability to teach non-financial business owners how to make better financial decisions.
• Experience building financial dashboards, KPIs, and performance tracking systems.

Requirements

• This role is ideal for a financial operator who enjoys working directly with business owners and influencing real financial outcomes—not just producing reports or managing internal accounting teams.
• You will thrive in this role if you are:
• A Fractional or Advisory CFO
• A Former CFO Who Wants More Direct Impact
• A Financial Leader Who Enjoys Coaching Entrepreneurs
• An Operator Who Connects Numbers to Strategy
• Someone Who Values Measurable Outcomes
• A Professional Who Thrives in Accountability-Driven Environments
• Someone Who Wants to Influence Multiple Businesses

Benefits

• Base Salary: $110,000
• Performance Pay: Up to $182,000 annually depending on client roster
• Your earning potential scales with your impact — not your hours.

Company Description

• Help law firm owners build profitable, financially disciplined businesses.
• Work directly with business owners on decisions that shape their companies.
• Operate as a senior financial leader in a flexible remote environment.
• Leverage a system and curriculum already helping law firms scale successfully.
• Work with a team that values results, discipline, and measurable progress.
