CFO Controller

A privately held company is hiring a CFO Controller to lead its financial operations on a long-term, part-time basis. The role pays $150 - $165 per hour for roughly 40, 50 hours per month, which works out to about 9, 12 hours per week. The position is fully remote and operates on a flexible schedule, with the outgoing CFO/Controller providing training and transition support. The Controller will own the monthly financial close process, prepare financial reporting, and ensure GAAP compliance across all accounting activities. This includes developing budgets, rolling forecasts, and budget-to-actual analyses. The role also covers fixed asset accounting and lessor accounting for equipment leasing operations, so familiarity with leasing standards is important. Day-to-day work involves overseeing banking relationships and cash management, monitoring loan covenant compliance, and partnering with an external CPA firm on tax planning. The Controller also coaches and develops an Accounting Specialist and serves as the primary financial advisor to ownership, supporting strategic decision-making and business planning. The ideal candidate brings 7+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience, with a CPA strongly preferred. Big Four or Big Five public accounting experience is a plus. Hands-on controller experience with executive-level financial judgment is essential, as is a strong understanding of recurring revenue metrics like MRR, churn, and margin. Because the company operates across Pacific and Hawaii time zones, availability during those business hours is required. This is a 1099 independent contractor engagement, so the person in this role manages their own taxes and benefits. The flexible, part-time structure suits a seasoned finance professional who wants senior-level responsibility without a full-time commitment. The training handoff from the outgoing CFO/Controller means the new hire gets a smooth transition into the company's systems and processes.
