Chief Financial Officer

CFO Opportunity with The CFO Centre

Melbourne, Victoria

• Are you a top-quality Chief Financial Officer feeling frustrated and restricted by conventional corporate environments?
• Have you already broken away from corporate life as an independent CFO?
• Are you a working or returning CFO parent seeking enhanced work flexibility and a better work-life balance?

If these scenarios resonate with you, this opportunity could be precisely what you're seeking!

What’s the opportunity?

You’ll be responsible for providing part time CFO services to ambitious $2-50M private businesses.

You’ll help our clients reach their goals, you’ll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a ‘can do’ attitude, who has a passion to help our clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEO’s or MD’s.

You’ll thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based across world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to have the same.

What do you need to have?

You need to be qualified from one of the major chartered accounting institutes and have been a real-life CFO/FD once, twice or several times over, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success, alongside a natural ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with our clients. Part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. Your clients will say “this person and The CFO Centre are in it with me for the long-term, and I know they really care”.

Working closely with your Regional Director and team of CFOs in a highly collegiate environment. We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, with family at our core, as is often found in our own client’s operations.

How does it work?

The role is self-employed, whilst operating within a defined model, combining the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organisation, but with a level of autonomy and freedom in how you deliver outcomes for clients.

You’ll love the challenge, variety and interest of working for multiple clients and appreciate the flexibility this way of working provides. A great listener, and even better at asking great questions, at first you’ll wake up every day and think “how do I build my portfolio today” and then as your portfolio builds think “how do I add value and do something special for my clients today?”

We’re the Global Market leader of part-time Chief Finance Officer’s services to mid-sized businesses. As we say, for those businesses that don’t want, don’t need and probably can’t afford a full time CFO, yet who want access to that skillset on an affordable part-time basis.

Who are we?

We’re 800 people, in 5 continents, across 17 countries, operating in all states of Australia. The FD & CFO Centre was started to change the game for mid-tier businesses!

You’ll join a collective team of former CEOs, Executives, CFOs, FDs, and successful business owners who count themselves at top of the game, and who’ve experienced success in their former lives.

We’re the Avengers team of the financial strategy world, bringing together thousands of years of collective experience to supercharge our clients’ businesses.

We’re a movement of people that left ‘corporate’ seeking a freedom-based lifestyle. This isn’t about retiring or kicking back drinking pina coladas on a beach in Thailand. It’s about doing something purposeful and being the captain of your own ship. Freedom is loving what you do, and about having choice.

What do we do?

We define and deliver the numbers that really matter. What does that mean? Well anyone can come up with numbers, we help our clients find the ones that really make a difference, not only to their business, but to their lives, and help deliver them! Whether that’s growth, acquisition, consolidation, or setting them up for the lifestyle they’ve always wanted.

Here's some of what our CFO's have to say about working with us...

I decided that corporate roles were no longer for me, and before committing to The CFO Centre explored various options including the independent route. The CFO Centre was able to offer not only a broad support network, but was able to provide a range of tools, resources and methodologies which could be used to add immediate value for clients

-Allan Robb, QLD team

I really enjoy the flexibility that portfolio working offers, as well as the stimulation of working with different personalities across a variety of industries. I find I am able to add real value to my clients which is really appreciated by the business owners I work with, and I'm now working less hours, through choice, so that I have more time to spend with my family

- Andrew de Bruyn, WA Team

I really like the variety of the businesses, their challenges and opportunities and the people who work in them. I particularly enjoy being able to be one step removed from the office politics of each business but at the same time regarded as a core member of the leadership team

-Julian Crawford NSW Team

We want to continue to change the game, and we are looking for a game changer to join us.
