About the job

We're seeking a strategic yet hands-on Fractional VP of Finance to oversee the financial operations of two growing businesses: Hawthorn Creative, a boutique marketing agency and a newly launched event venue in Portsmouth, NH, The Hawthorn (combined revenue ~$3.5M). Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll be a key member of the executive team, helping guide overall business strategy while managing financial systems, reporting, and planning.

This role is fully remote and ideal for a seasoned finance leader who thrives in entrepreneurial environments and is looking for meaningful, flexible work. We estimate 25–30 hours/week with some flexibility in schedule—perfect for someone who values both challenge and balance. If you’re analytical, proactive, and eager to contribute to creative, community-minded brands, we’d love to connect.

Responsibilities  

  • Develop and execute the company's financial strategy, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives.
  • Oversee all aspects of financial reporting, including the preparation of accurate and timely financial statements (balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements).
  • Manage and optimize cash flow, ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet operational and strategic needs.
  • Serve as the plan sponsor and administrator for the company’s 401(k) plan, in coordination with our 3(38) investment fiduciary and investment monitoring service.
  • Develop and monitor budgets, forecasts, and financial performance metrics, providing insightful analysis and recommendations to the leadership team.
  • Implement and maintain strong internal controls to safeguard company assets and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
  • Manage relationships with banks, accountants, insurance providers, lawyers, etc.
  • Oversee payroll, accounts payable, and accounts receivable functions.
  • Analyze financial data to identify trends, opportunities, and potential risks, providing proactive solutions.
  • Contribute to strategic planning initiatives, including evaluating potential investments and growth opportunities.
  • Ensure compliance with tax regulations and manage tax planning strategies.
  • Potentially manage human resources and administrative functions, depending on the candidate's experience and the company's needs.
  • Provide financial insights and support to department heads to improve decision-making.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. MBA or relevant advanced degree preferred.
  • 5-7+ years of progressive experience in financial management, with at least 3+ years in a more senior financial role.
  • Proven experience in developing and implementing financial strategies that support business growth.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Proficiency in accounting software and financial management systems (e.g., QuickBooks).
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Google sheets and other data analysis tools.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively present financial information to both financial and non-financial audiences.
  • Experience in a small to medium-sized business environment is highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • High level of integrity and ethical standards.

We’re a small team with a big vision—and we’re excited to welcome a financial leader who shares our energy, curiosity, and commitment to excellence. At our core, we believe great businesses are built not just on smart strategy, but on strong relationships and shared values. If you're looking for a meaningful leadership role where your voice matters and your work makes a visible impact, we hope you'll consider joining our journey.
