Fractional CFO (Fractional Finance Leaders) — Executive Roster

,About Malloy Industries Malloy Industries connects B2B CEOs (typically $1M–$50M revenue, 10–100 employees) with vetted fractional executives who help bring structure to chaos. We’re known for being relentlessly generous, vulnerably trustworthy, enthusiastically fun, independently productive, and flexibly learning—and we take client outcomes seriously. We’re expanding our Fractional Executive Network and are looking for experienced Fractional COOs / Directors of Operations to join our roster for potential client collaborations. Important: This is NOT a full-time job Malloy Industries is building our Fractional Executive Roster. This posting is for experienced operations leaders who want to be considered for future fractional client engagements. If you’re looking for a W-2, full-time internal role, this won’t be the right fit. Our clients are growth-stage founders who have outgrown basic bookkeeping but aren’t ready for (or don’t want) a full-time CFO. They need the right level of finance leadership at the right time—ranging from clean financial foundations to strategic guidance for growth. As a roster member, you may be matched with US-based clients who need fractional support—often 5–20 hours/week, depending on engagement needs. While we can’t guarantee a specific volume of client work, members join because we invest in their success with meaningful support and a strong matching process. Compensation: Compensation varies by client engagement and scope and will be discussed during the matching process. What You’ll Do (Fractional CFO + Senior Finance Leadership)Depending on the client’s stage and pain points, you may lead or support work such as: Fractional CFO (Strategic Finance Leadership) • Financial strategy and forecasting (turning goals into a financial plan) • Strategic modeling for fundraising, M&A, or major growth decisions • Board reporting and financial narrative creation • Growth and pricing guidance (profitability, margin, and decision support) • Finance team leadership (guiding controllers/accountants/bookkeepers as needed) Fractional Controller (Financial Operations + Oversight) • Month-end close oversight and improving close cadence • Cash flow forecasting and visibility • Budgeting and variance analysis • Board/leadership reporting support • Managing bookkeepers and/or accountants; strengthening internal controls Fractional Accountant (Compliance + Financial Reporting) • Monthly financial statements • GAAP/tax compliance support • Adjusting entries (accruals, depreciation, clean-up) • Audit support and stakeholder-ready financials • Reviewing bookkeeper work for accuracy Fractional Bookkeeper (Foundation + Accuracy) • Recording income/expenses and keeping books clean • Bank/credit card reconciliations • Payroll data entry support (as applicable) • AR/AP tracking • Basic financial reports (P&L, balance sheet) Who This Is For (and who it’s not): This roster is for finance professionals who can bring clarity and leadership—not just data entry. This is NOT a data-entry-only bookkeeping role. This roster is for senior finance leaders who can own outcomes, improve visibility, and help founders make better decisions with confidence. Requirements Must-haves • 8+ years in finance/accounting with senior ownership (CFO, VP Finance, Finance Director, Controller, or equivalent leadership scope) • Experience supporting founder-led or scaling businesses (roughly 10–100 employees) • Strong communication skills (you can explain financial reality to non-finance leaders clearly) • Comfortable working independently in a fractional/consulting-style environment • US-based; able to work remotely with US clients Strongly preferred • Cash forecasting experience (including 13-week cash flow) • Experience improving close/reporting cadence and building KPI visibility • Experience partnering with CEOs on growth decisions, hiring plans, and tradeoffs • Comfort leading/overseeing bookkeepers/accountants/controllers depending on client needs Benefits of Joining the Malloy Industries Network • Qualified lead pipeline delivering pre-vetted, growth-stage companies ready to collaborate • Seamless back-office support that handles all contracts, invoicing, and payment processing • Active success partnership featuring weekly check-ins to support you and monthly client reviews to protect your work • Maximized earning potential by eliminating business development costs and friction Plus: • Private Slack Community: Connect with our member community to share introductions, collaborate, and get peer support • Seasonal Executive Roundtables & Events: Exclusive sessions designed for fractional executives to collaborate, share learnings, and explore synergies • Member Spotlight Features: Visibility through our platform to build authority and attract ideal clients How to Apply (required) Applications are only accepted through our apply page and roundtable process. • Step 1: RSVP to “Explore Collaborations” (Executive Roundtable) - This is the essential first step to meet our team, learn our model, and confirm mutual fit. • Step 2: Complete the Malloy Industries Member Application - Apply here: Please take your time especially on your Value Prop, because this is what we use when recommending you to potential clients. Job Types: Part-time, Contract Pay: $100.00 - $125.00 per hour Application Question(s): • This is a fractional executive roster (not a full-time W-2 job). Are you seeking contract/fractional engagements? • Do you have 8+ years of finance/accounting experience with senior ownership (CFO/Controller/Finance Director/VP Finance or equivalent)? • Have you built and owned a forecast (including scenario planning) for a business (not just reporting historicals)? • Have you created or owned cash flow visibility (e.g., 13-week cash flow, runway planning, cash forecasting)?
