Fractional Chief Financial Officer

About DAAXIT
Founded in 2021, DAAXIT was built on more than 20 years of financial leadership experience in the construction industry. We saw firsthand that many construction and skilled trades businesses operate without the strategic financial guidance needed to grow sustainably and profitably.
DAAXIT exists to change that.

We provide fractional CFO services that bring financial clarity, improved profitability, and long term stability to construction businesses. Our mission is to empower business owners with the tools and insight they need to achieve financial confidence and freedom.
We are guided by our core values of accountability, education, transformation, profitability, and transparency. Teamwork, ownership, and client impact drive everything we do.

About the Role
As a Fractional Chief Financial Officer, you will serve as the strategic financial leader for multiple DAAXIT clients in the construction and skilled trades industries. This is not just a numbers role. You will act as a trusted advisor and coach, helping business owners understand their financials, make data driven decisions, and build stronger, more profitable companies.

This is a part time, fractional leadership role. Client assignments are structured to provide flexibility while maintaining high impact. Most clients require an average of 8 to 10 hours per month, with the opportunity to work with multiple clients depending on your desired workload.
This position is remote. Candidates must reside in Wisconsin, preferably in the southern half of the state to support clients in the Milwaukee and Madison areas. Occasional travel to client sites may be required, particularly at the start of a new client relationship.

Why This Role Is Different
This role is ideal for experienced financial leaders in the construction industry who want to stay engaged in meaningful, strategic work without the demands of a traditional full time executive position.

Many of our CFOs are seasoned professionals who value flexibility, purpose, and the opportunity to make a real impact with business owners.

You will have:
• A highly flexible schedule
