Adelaide, South Australia The CFO Centre Australia Full time
Overview

Fractional CFO Opportunity with The CFO Centre

This opportunity is perfect for an experienced CFO who wants to provide fractional financial leadership to local SME businesses. It's a chance to step away from corporate life and embrace flexibility and autonomy.

The Role:

You'll deliver fractional CFO services to ambitious $2-50M private businesses, helping them achieve their strategic goals. You'll be a self-starter with energy, ambition, and a passion for supporting business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and MDs.

Enjoy the autonomy of managing your own client portfolio, backed by an incredible global network of CFOs. We're a company with big dreams, and we expect you to share that vision.

Responsibilities
  • Deliver fractional CFO services to client businesses within the $2-50M revenue range.
  • Support clients in achieving strategic goals through financial leadership and advisory input.
  • Manage your own client portfolio with autonomy, while leveraging the global CFO Centre network.
  • Build long-term relationships with clients and act as a trusted adviser.
Qualifications
  • A qualification from a major chartered accounting institute.
  • Extensive experience as a CFO/FD with a strong understanding of commercial finance and business strategy.
  • A proven track record of success and the ability to build long-term relationships with clients.
  • You'll be part CFO, part advisor, part strategist—someone clients trust to be in it for the long-term.
The Structure

This is a self-employed, portfolio-based role that offers the best of both worlds: the freedom to work independently and the structure and backing of a trusted global brand.

You'll be supported by a Regional Director and a collaborative team of CFOs, along with national marketing, business development efforts, and your own proactive networking and connections. We help you build and grow your portfolio—while you retain full autonomy in how you deliver value to your clients.

We're not a recruitment agency. We're a high-performance team, unified by shared values and a passion for delivering life-changing outcomes for SMEs.

Structure and Benefits
  • A flexible, part-time structure (minimum four days a week recommended).
  • The opportunity to work with multiple clients across industries.
  • Access to a proven methodology, global resources, and a strong support network.
  • A culture where openness, progressiveness, and passion are more than just words.

As your client base grows, so too will your influence—shifting your focus from building a portfolio to deepening relationships and driving strategic results.

Who We Are

We're the global market leader in fractional CFO services for mid-sized businesses. For companies that don't need or can't afford a full-time CFO, we provide access to top-level financial leadership on an affordable, fractional basis.

With 800 professionals across 17 countries, including all Australian states, The CFO Centre is changing the game for mid-tier businesses.
