[Hiring] Fractional CFO @How to Manage a Small Law Firm

Role Description

At HTM, our CFOs help law firm owners understand their numbers, improve profitability, and make confident business decisions. You'll operate much like a CFO does for any single client — analyzing financials, guiding strategy, building trust — but within a structured portfolio model, serving as the financial partner to ~30 growing law firms.

This is a full-time W-2 executive position — not a 1099 consulting gig or independent fractional practice. HTM provides the clients, systems, and infrastructure so you can focus entirely on helping owners make better financial decisions.

No legal industry experience required — we'll teach you what you need to know about serving law firms.

• No business development — we bring you a full portfolio; you never sell or chase your next engagement
• Predictable income + upside — guaranteed base plus performance compensation, not feast-or-famine
• Full benefits, real structure — medical/dental/vision (75% employer-paid), 401(k) match, unlimited PTO, and a built-in team
• Scale without the overhead — ~30 clients with systems and support staff already in place
• A fast-growing company behind you — Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Company every year since 2013

• A track record advising or partnering directly with founders'/business owners of small to mid-sized companies
• Strong financial analysis, forecasting, and strategic planning skills and the ability to translate data into business recommendations
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional leadership experience
