Fractional CFO / Client Account Manager

ABOUT THE ROLE

Imagine starting your week with a call from a small charity helping young people find their feet, and ending it by helping a community advocacy organisation prepare for their next board meeting. That’s the kind of variety this role brings.

As our Fractional CFO / Client Account Manager, you’ll be the trusted financial partner for a portfolio of not for profit clients - the person they call when they need clarity, confidence, or just someone who truly understands the nuances of running a mission driven organisation. You’ll bring strategic financial thinking, not just technical know how, and you’ll work alongside a warm and experienced AFG accounting team who’ll have your back.

You’ll take on an existing client portfolio from day one, with room to grow it over time. New client onboarding and short-term projects are also part of the mix, so no two weeks look exactly the same.

This is a full time, hybrid role - most of the time you’ll work from wherever you do your best thinking, with occasional travel to Sydney to connect with the team and clients in person.

You’ll report directly to one of our Co-CEOs - Carol and Paula.

ABOUT THE ORGANISATION

For over 25 years Accounting For Good has been supporting our NFP clients with financial management expertise so they can focus on delivering their organisation’s mission. Accounting For Good was established by not for profit leaders who felt the gap in their finance departments and built our service to help build capacity across the sector.

We work only with charities and not for profit organisations, supporting them to operate, report and plan effectively. We see ourselves as partners with our clients as they strive to achieve their mission, and take pride in providing high quality financial information to assist decision-making. We get the nuance of being a non-profit, and especially understand what boards need to know, and what managers need to understand, in order to make sound decisions.

ABOUT OUR PEOPLE

We are proud of our positive culture and are kind and respectful in every interaction with clients and colleagues alike. Collaboration and delegation are key to our success - we plan ahead and schedule our work to ensure that we achieve client deadlines and that our hard-working team is well utilised but not burnt out.

Accounting For Good is a Xero Advisor Certified Practice and our team includes qualified Chartered Accountants, Certified Practising Accountants and Xero Certified accountants and bookkeepers, ensuring that accounting and reporting are of the highest standard.

AFG works flexibly between home and our dedicated office in WeWork's Sydney hub at 320 Pitt Street - sometimes we come together in the office but much of the time the team works super-productively from home. 

ARE YOU OUR NEXT ACCOUNT MANAGER?

If you love sitting in an office posting journal entries, this is not the job for you. While we are looking for strong technical expertise, this is a role for an advisor, not a technician.

If you can see yourself as a friendly, knowledgeable advisor to a portfolio of interesting not for profits, supported by an excellent accounting team, please get in touch!

"You are welcome to call me on 02 9370 6200 if you have questions about the role - I understand that this is a two-way selection process." - Carol Tran, Co CEO.
