[Hiring] Client Services CFO @Propeller Industries

Role Description

Build a $3-5M Portfolio. Lead 20-40 Companies. Shape the Future of Finance.

This isn't a fractional CFO gig—it's an embedded one. You'll build and own a portfolio of venture-backed companies worth $3-5M in annual revenue, with FP&A leverage, operational infrastructure, and team support that makes managing 20-40 clients not just possible, but profitable.

Embedded means two things:

• You're embedded in your clients: attending leadership meetings, preparing for boards, earning the trust and access that traditional providers never achieve.
• You're embedded in Propeller: working within our standards, leveraging our technology and data, contributing to a team that has your back and you have theirs.

This isn't a job for lone wolves who want to do things their own way. It's a job for builders who want to be part of something bigger.

You'll embed yourself in client leadership teams—not as a vendor, but as the trusted advisor who shapes strategy. And you'll build this like an MD at a professional services firm: maintaining standards, leveraging infrastructure, developing talent, and operating within a system designed to scale.

This is an equity-track role for someone ready to build something that compounds. This is foundational work—and it's the future.
