We're looking for a Financial Analyst who can act as a fractional CFO for a book of 10 to 15 clients. This is not a role where you build a model and hand it off. You'll sit with business owners, walk them through their numbers, and help them actually understand what those numbers mean for the decisions in front of them.

The right person for this role:

✓Puts the client's business ahead of their own ego. You ask good questions, take feedback well, and give credit where it's due. You're the kind of person people trust with their numbers.

✓Takes real ownership of every client relationship. You don't wait to be asked. You dig into the data, chase down what doesn't add up, and push for financial clarity because guesswork bothers you.

✓Is genuinely personable and client facing. You can take a complex financial model and explain it in plain English to a business owner who's never seen a balance sheet before. High emotional intelligence and the ability to simplify without dumbing down are non negotiable.

✓Medical, dental, and vision coverage (employee + dependents)

✓401(k) with company match

✓Paid parental leave

✓Vacation and sick time that increases with tenure

✓Fully paid gym membership

✓Pet insurance

✓Employee Assistance Program

✓Professional development reimbursement for outside courses and certifications

✓Internal mentorship program and extensive internal education resources

✓Uncapped incentive eligibility
