Careers at The Freelance CFO

 

About TFCFO

We are multi passionate people and value differing opinions, perspectives, and life experiences, balanced on the tenets of empathy, kindness, understanding, and communication.

We have a diverse clientele from all racial and economic backgrounds and are excited to find someone who can understand, relate, and strategize with our clients. Many of our clients are creative small business owners between the ages of 20 and 40 looking to us to not only help them with their finances and accounting, but to assuage their anxiety around money.

Our team members have varied passions outside of supporting our clients that include video games, dogs, Star Wars, sustainable agriculture, travel, Human Design, Enneagram, astrology, hiking, cooking, and SO much more. While we won’t say we’re a family, we do get along swimmingly, like to swear, have a lot of fun, and get sh*t done for our clients.

About You

You’re passionate about taxes and want to dive headfirst into saving our clients money, strategizing about ALL of the things and helping them reach their own unique financial goals. You may have been in the corporate grind and found that it’s not for you. You crave variety in your job, and don’t want to be solely doing tax returns day after day, year after year, and thrive in an environment where you can utilize your full skillset. You’re craving a supportive company that gives a sh*t about you, your well being, and your goals. You’re tired of having to log billable hours and don’t want to explain yourself when you take a midday chiropractor appointment or work in the evening because you went for a hike that morning. Words you use to describe yourself may be: motivated, trustworthy, calm, compassionate, reliable, ethical, empowering, no-nonsense, and authentic. If all of this sounds like you and you’re looking for somewhere you can make an impact in the lives of hundreds of business owners, then you may have just found the perfect fit!
