Fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Part-Time | Contract Engagement - Oregon

About the Opportunity

Our client is seeking a Fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to provide strategic financial leadership while building a stronger, more sustainable accounting function. This is a hands-on consulting engagement focused on developing the internal accounting team, strengthening financial controls, preparing the organization for successful external audits, and creating scalable processes that will support long-term success.

This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned CPA who enjoys mentoring accounting professionals, improving systems and processes, and leaving organizations stronger than they found them. Rather than simply managing day-to-day accounting, you'll help create an audit-ready finance function that can operate independently long after the engagement concludes.

What You'll Do

Mentor and develop the Controller and Senior Accountant, strengthening technical accounting knowledge, month-end close processes, and financial reporting skills.

Build development plans that increase the accounting team's independence and technical capabilities.


Design, document, and implement internal controls across cash handling, revenue recognition, payroll, and expense management.


Establish standardized month-end close procedures, reconciliation processes, and supporting documentation requirements.


Improve segregation of duties and strengthen overall accounting controls.


Prepare the organization for annual external audits, coordinating with auditors and proactively addressing potential findings.


Develop accounting policies, procedures, and a comprehensive controls manual that can be maintained internally.


Review monthly financial statements and key performance metrics prior to leadership and Board reporting.


Support annual budgeting and forecasting while transitioning ownership of these processes to the Controller.


Advise executive leadership on financial reporting, compliance, risk management, treasury activities, debt structure, and financial analysis.


Recommend and help implement accounting system and process improvements that increase efficiency and strengthen financial oversight.

What We're Looking For

CPA required.

10+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, including prior CFO and/or Controller-level leadership.


Demonstrated success preparing organizations for external audits or leading audit engagements.


Deep knowledge of internal controls, accounting procedures, and financial reporting best practices.


Proven ability to coach, mentor, and develop accounting professionals.


Experience creating documented accounting processes and operational procedures.


Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex accounting concepts into practical guidance.


Experience within seasonal, hospitality, recreation, or similar operational environments is a plus.


Ability to successfully pass a criminal background check.

Why This Opportunity?

Make a lasting impact by building a finance function that will continue to succeed after your engagement.

Partner directly with executive leadership on strategic financial initiatives.


Help shape the future of the accounting team through coaching and mentorship.


Flexible, ongoing fractional engagement with meaningful, high-level work.


Opportunity to combine strategic leadership with hands-on process improvement and organizational development.

If you're a collaborative financial leader who enjoys building strong teams, strengthening internal controls, and creating sustainable accounting operations, we'd love to hear from you.
