ABOUT OUR CLIENT:

Our client is a leading food events and hospitality company based in San Francisco, known for creating large-scale community dining experiences and culinary partnerships.

The client is seeking a Fractional CFO to provide senior-level financial leadership, stabilization, and strategic guidance.

• Month 1: ~10–15 hours per week (front-loaded for assessment, stabilization, and priority initiatives).
• Ongoing: ~5–8 hours per week (steady-state oversight and advisory support).

Initial Engagement (First 30–45 Days | 10–15 hrs/week)

• Assess the current state of accounting operations, month-end close, reporting cadence, and controls, identifying risks, gaps, and near-term priorities.

• Evaluate cash flow, short-term forecasting, and liquidity needs across event-based and catering business units.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA strongly preferred.
• 10–12+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership at the Controller or CFO level.
• Extensive Net Suite experience is required
