Working directly with ownership and senior leadership, you'll take an objective look at the organization's financial health, uncover opportunities for improvement, and develop a practical roadmap for change.

• Strategic influence: Work closely with decision-makers who value independent expertise and practical recommendations.
• Flexibility: Enjoy a remote, project-based consulting engagement focused on outcomes.
• Opportunity for continued involvement: Potential to support implementation as the business evolves.

Your Responsibilities

• You'll assess financial operations, reporting, controls, cash flow, profitability, and existing processes.
• You'll partner with ownership to understand business performance, operational challenges, and growth priorities.
• You'll identify financial risks, inefficiencies, reporting gaps, and opportunities to strengthen financial oversight.
• You'll develop a comprehensive financial roadmap with clear priorities, milestones, timelines, and accountability measures.
• You'll recommend improvements to financial systems, processes, controls, and future finance team structure.
• You'll facilitate constructive conversations with stakeholders, translating complex findings into practical business decisions.
• You'll provide strategic guidance during initial implementation where appropriate.

Skills and Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including senior leadership or strategic advisory responsibilities.
• Previous experience as a CFO, Fractional CFO, VP Finance, or Financial Consultant.
• Strong understanding of financial reporting, forecasting, cash flow management, profitability analysis, and internal controls.
• Experience supporting privately held, owner-operated, or growing entrepreneurial businesses.
• Exposure to landscaping, construction, contracting, field services, or similar industries is considered an asset.
• Proven ability to assess financial operations, identify root causes, and develop actionable improvement plans.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with a practical, collaborative consulting approach.
