Fractional CFO – Litigation Funding Experience

Job Description:

• Serve as a strategic financial partner to firm leadership
• Build and own a cash flow forecast that separates ordinary billing from litigation-funding draws
• Manage the relationship with the firm's litigation funding counterparties
• Develop partner-facing financial reporting and lead the education of partners on firm economics
• Formalize month-end close, AR/AP, and financial controls
• Partner with an incoming Controller to stand up the finance function
• Operate with the discretion and judgment a professional-services partnership requires

Requirements:

• 10+ years of CFO experience required
• Genuine professional-services company experience is required — a firm that sells expertise in increments of time (law firm, accounting firm, consulting firm, or similar); this is a floor, not a preference
• At least some direct experience inside a law firm environment specifically is required
• Demonstrated experience building relationships with, and educating, partners or equity owners on financial performance
• Strong cash flow forecasting and liquidity management experience, ideally involving contingency or alternative-revenue-timing considerations
• Comfortable building financial infrastructure from scratch rather than inheriting an established one
