Partner | Outsourced CFO - New Division

Director | Outsourced Finance & Fractional CFO Services (New Division)

Melbourne CBD | Boutique Professional Services Firm

A newly created leadership opportunity has been established to design, build and lead a dedicated Outsourced Finance & Fractional CFO division within a growing boutique professional services firm.

This is a rare chance to shape a service line from the ground up, combining CFO-level advisory, financial leadership and commercial decision support for private, mid-market and family-owned businesses.

You will operate as a Fractional CFO / senior finance lead, working directly with business owners, boards and executive teams to drive financial clarity, performance and decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

Service Line Leadership

• Design and establish the outsourced finance and Fractional CFO offering
• Develop service packages, pricing models and standardised deliverables
• Build scalable systems, reporting frameworks and processes

Client Delivery (Fractional CFO Function)

• Act as CFO or senior finance lead for a portfolio of clients
• Deliver management reporting, budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling
• Provide board-level reporting, insight and decision support

• Oversee and uplift transactional finance functions where required

Team & Capability Development

• Build and lead a high-performing finance team over time
• Define delivery models across onshore, offshore and technology-enabled solutions
• Set service standards, governance and quality frameworks

Growth & Collaboration

• Work closely with Accounting Partners as peer-level finance leaders
• Leverage existing client relationships and contribute to pipeline growth
• Support cross-referrals across tax, structuring, SMSF and advisory services

About You

We are open to Director or Partner-level appointments, depending on experience.

You will likely bring:

• Experience in private enterprise, mid-market or family business environments
• Proven ability to build or lead finance functions end-to-end
• Strong commercial acumen and practical problem-solving capability
• Confidence engaging with boards and senior stakeholders
• A collaborative mindset within multi-partner environments
• Experience in outsourced finance or professional services is highly regarded but not essential.

Why This Role?

• This is a build-and-lead opportunity, not an inherited function.
• Strong internal client demand already exists
• You will be establishing a new division with full partner support
• High autonomy, influence and visibility from day one
• Focus on execution, impact and commercial outcomes
• Clear pathway toward long-term leadership and potential equity participation

This role suits someone who wants to move beyond traditional CFO roles into something more entrepreneurial and building a best-in-class CFO services offering inside a high-trust, values-led firm.
