Chief Financial Officer - CPA Firm

Venture Personnel
Sarasota, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 6/5/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/4/2026

A well-established, highly profitable boutique CPA firm in the Bradenton–Sarasota area is looking for a client-facing CFO to step into a front-of-the-room advisory and business development role.

This is not an internal finance seat. The firm runs a fully outsourced accounting model — CFO advisory, back-office accounting, attestation, tax, and forensic services — for a portfolio of multi-entity business owners. You'd be the outward-facing financial leader: delivering strategic advisory directly to owners, driving business development, and expanding the firm's relationships.


What you bring:

  • Active CPA license — required (or in the works)
  • 10–15 years in finance leadership (CFO, Fractional CFO, or Senior Finance Director)
  • Proven client-facing advisory experience with business owners
  • Real business development track record — networking, referrals, prospect conversations
  • Tax strategy fluency; ideal, not required
  • Comfort across industries: construction, real estate, healthcare, professional services, manufacturing


What the role offers:

  • Competitive base bonus structure
  • Full benefits, 401(k), and CPE support
  • Direct mentorship from a credentialed, experienced founder
  • A real partnership path for the right long-term leader
  • The variety and client quality of a boutique with the infrastructure of a much larger shop


Local to Tampa Bay / Bradenton / Sarasota preferred. Relocation candidates with strong ties to the area considered.


The hiring firm's name is shared following a brief introductory call. To learn more or refer someone, reach out directly or apply here!
