Job description

Fractional CFO (Chair One): Bring Your Practice to Centripetal

Location: Remote, based in Canada. Able to work core hours with US Eastern Time as needed.

Type: Full-time

Start date: When your first clients sign with Centripetal

Compensation (USD, with FX protection if the Canadian dollar strengthens): For candidates bringing a book of two to three clients, expect to earn $200K–$235K in a strong year. Pay is a base salary plus an annual bonus, an uncapped premium that grows with the clients you carry, and commission on the clients you bring, the new business you win, and the referrals your clients send the firm.

About Centripetal Advisors

Centripetal Advisors runs an institutional-quality, AI-powered finance function for B2B software companies that want to scale. We work with companies from Seed through exit.

We’ve raised $125M+ for clients across 25 transactions, with a network of 100+ equity investors and 25+ debt providers. We put our own capital into the companies we serve.

This is for fractional CFOs who’ve built something

You have a practice. You have clients who trust you. And you’ve hit the ceiling every solo CFO hits: you’re the seller, the analyst, the closer, and the back office, and your income stops when your hours do.

Bring your practice to Centripetal. Your clients sign with us, you keep leading them, and we pay you for the book you built. Then we help you grow it.

Why Centripetal

• A floor. A real base salary, paid in USD, with FX protection if the Canadian dollar strengthens.
• Paid for your book. Commission on every client you bring, with part of it guaranteed even if you leave.
• Earn as you grow. Your pay rises with the clients you carry, with no cap.
• Analyst support. Our analysts handle the modeling, close, and reporting. You lead.
• Commitment to AI. We invest in AI and keep building with it. Our AI and ops lead builds automation alongside you and gives you the tools to build it yourself. The boring work gets done faster and better, and what’s left is the interesting work.
• Infrastructure that does it right. Playbooks, standard pricing, and a proper back office with insurance and the rest. We’re the real deal. We don’t skimp.
• US clients. B2B software companies across the US, many backed by funds you’ve heard of.
• Capital markets expertise. When your clients raise, you have a team, a network, and a track record behind you.
• A team. Colleagues you trust, people you train, and people you learn from. Charles has 20 years of experience and has been a fractional CFO for 8. He has worked with VCs, angels, and growth equity investors and has sat on boards.
• Room to build. Help us grow beyond fractional finance into quality-of-earnings work, a fund, and new service lines.
• Angel investing access. You can invest in client rounds alongside us, many of them off-market.
• Flexibility. Work from home, on a schedule that fits your clients and your life.
• Benefits. Health coverage through Remote, our employer of record in Canada.
• People who respect their craft, at a place that respects its people. Everyone here works hard, and everyone is treated well.

Who you are

You run a fractional CFO practice in Canada with recurring clients who would come with you. You’ve sat in the operator seat as a Head of Finance, VP Finance, CFO, or fractional CFO at growth-stage B2B companies. You’ve raised capital from equity investors or lenders, and you’ve taken a board pack from blank doc to investor-ready.

You like the client side of the work: you build relationships and keep bringing in new clients. You teach, and you want people around you who get better. You’re a strong writer and a clear communicator. Founders like talking to you because you give straight answers.

What you’ll do

• Lead your clients end to end, as you do today, with a team behind you
• Run raises with a capital markets team that has closed 25 transactions
• Bring in new clients, and earn on every one
• Train the analysts who work with you, and help build the playbooks and automation we all use

How we work

Happy clients first, gross margin second.
