About Role

We have ambitious growth plans to enable us to support more children that desperately need a safe, caring place to call home, and we are on the lookout for an experienced, strategic CFO who is prepared to be hands-on with a new company in order to help us achieve our goals.In an ideal world, we are looking for someone who has supported a new company in going from 0 to 1, helping to create the financial roadmap and building the infrastructure from scratch. We are on the lookout for a fractional CFO who is willing to support us with ad-hoc hours and ramp up and down as needed. We anticipate that this work will initially take 5-10 hours per week, but that over time this could increase.

However, in order to do so safely and with the sustainability of the company at the heart of what we do, we require an experienced CFO and leader to support with key strategic decisions as we grow.
