Fractional CFO – Private Equity Fund (Part-Time, Remote)

Job Summary

Simple House Capital Group is seeking a Fractional CFO (Part-Time, Remote) to support our growing private equity fund and operating portfolio of service-based businesses.

We are an entrepreneurial investment group acquiring HVAC, plumbing, and other essential service companies using a platform + bolt-on model. We are not a large institutional fund — we are building toward one.

This role is ideal for a hands-on finance professional who understands lower-middle-market fund structures, capital accounts, and waterfall mechanics — and enjoys building clean financial architecture from the ground up.

You will not be doing bookkeeping. You will be overseeing it, structuring it, and ensuring our fund-level reporting and capital accounts are accurate, defensible, and investor-ready.

What You’ll OwnFund-Level Oversight

  • Build and maintain capital account tracking for LPs and GP
  • Track preferred return accruals and profit splits
  • Design and prepare quarterly LP reporting
  • Join quarterly investor calls as financial lead
  • Ensure clean fund-level financial visibility

Tax & Compliance Oversight

  • Coordinate with external CPA firm for all 1065 filings and K-1s
  • Review tax filings before submission
  • Ensure entity-level compliance is organized and on schedule
  • Help clean up prior year reporting gaps

Accounting Supervision

  • Oversee third-party bookkeeping provider
  • Implement redundancy and documentation (no single-point failure)
  • Help design scalable accounting structure as we acquire additional companies

Financial Infrastructure

  • Implement reporting dashboards and summary financial packages
  • Assist with debt restructuring or capital planning discussions as needed
  • Design AI/VA-assisted bookkeeping optimization over time
  • Establish SOPs for financial processes across fund and portfolio

Who This Is For

This role is for someone who:

  • Has experience supporting private equity funds or lower-middle-market investment vehicles
  • Understands capital accounts, waterfall math, and LP reporting
  • Is comfortable operating in lean, entrepreneurial environments
  • Can work independently without heavy corporate structure
  • Is comfortable overseeing vendors rather than doing daily bookkeeping
  • Communicates clearly and confidently with investors

CPA license preferred but not required.

Private equity or fund experience strongly preferred.

Who This Is NOT For

This is not:

  • A full-time executive role
  • A corporate compliance-heavy environment
  • A bookkeeping position
  • A large institutional fund

We are growing deliberately and value pragmatic, intelligent financial structure over bureaucracy.

Our Core Values

If these don’t resonate, this is not the right fit.

  • Do What You Say You’re Going to Do
  • Be Obsessed with Helping Others
  • Have a Positive, Can-Do Attitude
  • Be a Team Player
  • Always Strive to Exceed Expectations
  • Be Accountable & Reliable

Engagement Structure

  • Part-Time (5–15 hours per week)
  • Remote
  • Contract (1099)
  • Hourly compensation based on experience
