About the role

If you’re a top-quality CFO who’s feeling constrained by corporate life… or already operating independently and looking to build something more meaningful…or seeking greater flexibility, autonomy, and impact in your career…This could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

The CFO Centre is expanding our team in the Central Ontario region and is looking for experienced finance leaders who are passionate about helping businesses grow. This is a self-employed, portfolio-based role (not a salaried position). While lead generation and business development are supported through our regional and central teams, success in this role requires a proactive approach to relationship-building and contributing to the growth of your client portfolio.

What You’ll Be Doing You’ll support business owners, entrepreneurs and leadership teams to: Scale and grow strategically Improve profitability and cash flow Navigate funding, M&A, and exits Strengthen systems, controls, and reporting

You’ll be a: Proven CFO (5+ years at CFO level) Strategic, commercial and hands-on Strong relationship builder with credibility and gravitas Well connected in the Greater Vancouver market Self-starter with energy, ambition and a “can-do” mindset

You Will Thrive in This Role If You: Enjoy building relationships and becoming a trusted advisor Are motivated by growing your own portfolio and income Want autonomy, variety and flexibility Value being part of a collaborative, high-performing CFO community
