Role Description

A fast-growing boutique law firm serving venture-backed technology companies and investors is seeking a Director of Finance to build and lead its finance function. The firm currently has approximately 45 attorneys and plans to scale significantly, creating a genuine opportunity for this person to grow into a CFO-level role.

• Budgeting
• Financial planning
• Partner profitability
• Pricing strategy
• Revenue analysis
• Investment decisions

Responsibilities include:

• Build and own the firm’s annual budget, operating plan and broader financial strategy
• Prepare monthly partner profit calculations and financial presentations
• Advise the partnership on pricing strategy, investments and growth initiatives
• Analyze matter-level revenue, profitability and financial performance
• Oversee expense planning, forecasting and revenue management
• Develop the financial infrastructure needed to support growth from approximately 45 attorneys toward 200+
• Proactively identify financial risks, opportunities and recommended actions
• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the firm’s founding partners

Qualifications

• 10+ years of finance or accounting experience
• Experience within a law firm or another billable-hour professional-services business
• Strong background in budgeting, forecasting and operating-plan development
• Experience with pricing strategy, profitability analysis and investment decisions
• Exposure to partner compensation or partner-profit calculations
• Ability to translate financial information into clear recommendations for senior leadership
• Executive presence and comfort working directly with partners
• Degree in finance, accounting or a related discipline

Requirements

• Experience helping a professional-services firm scale from approximately 30–50 professionals to 100+
• Finance leadership experience within a corporate, venture or technology-focused law firm
• Previous experience in a Big Four professional-services or advisory practice
• CPA, MBA or comparable professional credential
• Experience building or modernizing a finance function rather than inheriting a fully established organization

Benefits

• Base salary of $120K–$240K
• Potential total compensation of approximately $150K–$300K, depending on experience and KPI-based bonus
• 401(k)
• Firm-funded profit sharing
• Fully remote
• Long-term opportunity to grow into a CFO-level position
