CFO for a Portfolio of Growing Law Firms (Full-Time, Remote)

Turn Financial Data Into Confident Business Decisions

Location: Remote (Must reside in AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, PA, TX, or WA)

Employment Type: Full-Time (45–50 hours/week) | W-2 Employee

Compensation: $110,000 Base Salary + Performance Incentives (Target OTE: $182,000)

About the Role

This is a full-time, salaried CFO position — not a 1099 consulting or independent fractional-practice opportunity.

As part of the HTM team, you’ll provide CFO-level services to a dedicated portfolio of up to 30 small law firms. We handle all sales, marketing, and client acquisition, allowing you to focus entirely on financial leadership, strategic guidance, and building trusted client relationships.

If you’ve worked in a fractional, outsourced CFO, or multi-client advisory environment, you’ll feel right at home. This role requires the ability to quickly shift between multiple businesses while delivering the same level of strategic insight and financial leadership each client expects from a trusted CFO.

No legal industry experience is required — we’ll teach you everything you need to know about serving law firms.
