Fractional CFO

What is Series Next Solutions?

We are a scaling start-up based in New Orleans, LA. We started this company because we realized growth-stage businesses need CFO-level expertise, but not a full-time resource. Our model pairs our Fractional CFOs (who serve as part-time CFOs for multiple clients) with our entrepreneur clients, giving them earlier access to Executive-level Finance talent for the cost of an entry-level employee.

What are you looking for?

o  Collaboration: Although you will be the primary point of contact for your client portfolio, you won’t be on your own. You don’t have to do it all – you’ll have Client Operations and Sales teams keeping you focused on CFO-level work. And you don’t have to know it all – you’ll have a team of other fCFOs with a variety of backgrounds that are happy to share their expertise.

o  Flexibility: This role is designed to accommodate both your availability and your desired workload. We source clients for you, and your compensation is driven by the number of clients you choose to take on. Maybe you’re looking for a full-time job with benefits, or part-time, impactful work that flexes around your personal life commitments. We have a spot for you. 

o  Dynamic working environment: Our entrepreneur clients are passionate, visionary thinkers, and we join them for their growth journeys. You will learn about their unique businesses and industries, in an environment where the work is ever evolving. SNS itself is an agile, fast-growing company, and we use the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) model as our framework for growth.
