ABOUT US

We're building the financial backbone for the most ambitious consumer brands in the country. Our firm combines McKinsey-level strategy, Big Four precision, and founder-grade hustle to serve e-commerce and CPG companies from startup to scale, and from zero to exit.

We strike the right balance between traditional accounting and embedded partnership. We work inside our clients' businesses, providing not just financial clarity but operational firepower to move fast, stay lean, and grow with confidence.

If you're looking to do the best work of your career — surrounded by smart, motivated, kind people — we'd love to meet you.

THE ROLE

We’re hiring a full-time Client CFO (Director) to serve as a fractional CFO to a portfolio of consumer brands across e-commerce, retail, and CPG. This is a high-impact, multi-client leadership role for someone equally comfortable in Excel, on investor calls, and in the boardroom.

You will lead financial strategy, advisory and FP&A for multiple brands. Owning forecasting, modeling, capital planning, and strategic decision support. But beyond that, we want a builder: someone who improves how the work gets done through better systems, templates, and automation.

3. Strategic Advisory + Capital Markets Support

  • Support and own credit packs and operate as “deal time CFO” when needed

  • Support board material prep and investor communications when needed

  • Provide decision frameworks to help clients navigate growth, burn, and tradeoffs

4. Workflow Optimization + Systems Thinking

  • Templatize, automate, and scale recurring work

  • Use tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Gsheets, and Zapier to deliver faster and smarter

  • Document SOPs and drive internal improvements to our client delivery engine

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Strong experience in finance leadership roles (past experience in a multi-client role is required).

  • Deep understanding of consumer business models (DTC, retail, omnichannel, wholesale)

  • Strong FP&A and modeling skills, with experience in budgeting, building multi-year 3-statement modeling, and operational forecasting

  • Experience with accounting systems (QBO, NetSuite)

  • Ability to synthesize complex data into clear insights and communicate with confidence

  • Experience working with executive teams and board-level stakeholders

  • Comfortable managing multiple client relationships in a fast-paced environment

  • Bonus: strong experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) or automation tools (Zapier, Notion, Airtable)

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE

  • High-impact, high-autonomy role advising category-defining brands

  • Small, elite team where your work drives real outcomes

  • Remote-first culture with deep collaboration and zero bureaucracy

  • A fast-growing firm that rewards performance, not pedigree

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
