Fractional CFO Consultant Contract (1099) | 5–15 Hours per Week to Start
Compensation: $70-120/ hour depending on experience Twin Cities Applicants Only: This position requires regular in-person meetings with Owl leadership and occasional client visits throughout the Twin Cities. Applicants must reside in the Twin Cities metro area.
About Owl Bookkeeping & CFO Services Owl Bookkeeping & CFO Services partners with entrepreneurial businesses by providing bookkeeping, controller, and CFO services. We believe business owners deserve more than financial statements—they deserve a trusted advisory team that helps them make confident business decisions. We’re looking for a highly experienced Fractional CFO to become a long-term strategic advisor to Owl leadership. This is not a traditional client-facing fractional CFO role. Our CFOs are not boardroom-only executives. We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable discussing long-term business strategy and opening a QuickBooks Online file to help solve a complex accounting issue. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to Owl leadership while helping strengthen our accounting team, advisory services, and internal CFO framework. If you’re looking for a role focused primarily on investor relations, M&A, board reporting, or executive presentations, this likely isn’t the right fit.
What You’ll Do As Owl’s Fractional CFO, you’ll: Serve as a strategic thought partner to Owl leadership. Advise on complex accounting, financial, and operational client situations. Help troubleshoot accounting issues alongside our controllers and leadership team. Coach and mentor controllers through technical accounting questions and best practices. Strengthen our internal CFO methodologies, service offerings, and advisory approach. Review financial reporting, cash flow, forecasting, and business performance. Help develop scalable systems and processes as Owl continues to grow. Provide practical recommendations—not just strategy. Who Thrives in This Role You enjoy moving between strategy and execution. One hour you may be discussing growth strategy, KPIs, and cash flow forecasting. The next hour you may be reviewing a balance sheet, discussing revenue recognition, helping improve a month-end close process, or coaching a controller through a complex accounting issue. If you enjoy both, you’ll likely love this role. What We’re Looking ForRequired 10+ years of experience as a Controller, CFO, or senior accounting/finance leader. Strong technical accounting foundation. Experience supporting small and mid-sized businesses. Advanced QuickBooks Online knowledge. Comfortable reviewing reconciliations, financial statements, month-end close, and accounting processes. Experience mentoring accounting professionals. Excellent communication and problem-solving skills. Twin Cities resident willing to meet in person regularly. Preferred CPA (active or inactive). Experience working in an outsourced accounting or fractional CFO environment. Experience supporting multiple businesses simultaneously. Master’s degree. What We’re NOT Looking For This probably isn’t the right role if: You prefer staying at a high-level executive strategy role. You haven’t worked in QuickBooks Online or a small business accounting environment in several years. You’re looking to build your own client portfolio through Owl. You’re seeking a full-time executive position. Why Owl? Long-term consulting relationship. Flexible schedule. Collaborative leadership team. Opportunity to help shape and grow an expanding advisory firm. Meaningful work with entrepreneurial businesses. High-impact role without the administrative burden of managing your own client portfolio.
