Fractional CFO for Law Firms

Most law firm owners went to law school, not business school. They're great attorneys — and a lot of them are running a $2M firm off a bank balance and a gut feeling. That's where we come in.

Firmly Profits is a fractional CFO and bookkeeping firm built exclusively for law firms. We work with firms from $250K to $8M+ in revenue across personal injury, family law, immigration, bankruptcy and hourly billing. Our whole philosophy fits in one line: it's not about spending less. It's about spending correctly.

We're looking for a Fractional CFO to take on a book of law firm clients and become the person they call before they make a BIG decision.

What you'll actually do

• Meet with your clients monthly or biweekly and walk them through their numbers in plain English
• Build budgets starting with the owner's personal income goal and working backward
• Benchmark firms against our 3 buckets framework and show them exactly where their money is going
• Build cash reserve plans, debt payback plans and break-even numbers that owners actually use
• Keep CFO reports, KPI dashboards and Firm Health Snapshots current for every client
• Work alongside our bookkeeping team, plus each firm's CPA and coaches

What you won't do

• Bookkeeping (we have a great team for that)
• Tax prep or tax advice
• Lecture anyone about their spending — we coach with data, not judgment

You're a fit if you have

• 5+ years as a CFO, controller or fractional CFO
• Hands-on QuickBooks Online experience
• Experience juggling multiple clients at once
• The ability to explain cash flow to an attorney without their eyes glazing over
• Bonus points for law firm experience (especially personal injury), trust/IOLTA accounting or tools like Clio, CasePeer and Gusto

The details

• Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week
• Location: Remote, US-based (Florida preferred)
• Type: W-2
• Pay: $91,300–$111,000/year, based on experience
• Reports to: Leah Miller, MBA, founder of Firmly Profits and a former PI firm CFO
