Salary: USD 84,000–120,000
Workplace: remote
Department: Fractional CFO
A profitable DTC pet brand is looking for a hands-on Fractional CFO to join our team! You will take over our finances end to end: not just projections, but actually running them. That means cash flow, the monthly close, payments, tax, budgets and the credit lines that fund our growth, for about 1-2 days a week.
We're doing $50M+ a year and scaling to $100M+, and we want one person who owns the money so we don't run into problems as we double the business. We are looking to hire someone who has been CFO or VP of Finance for at least one DTC ecommerce brand doing $30M+ a year. The ideal candidate has run 13-week cash flows and monthly closes with a bookkeeper, has a deep understanding of subscription models, and has set up or managed an inventory- or receivables-backed credit facility.
Own the company's money: cash, books, payments, projections and financial planning, so the CEO always knows where cash and profit stand today and where they are heading + improving terms, cash conversion cycle etc. Success is clear, accurate projections on cash flow, subscriptions and the cash conversion cycle so there are no surprises, books closed on time every month, and every payment and filing right and on time. You also own the company's credit lines, lender relationships and financial controls, so growth is always funded and every dollar is accounted for.
We are a profitable DTC brand selling premium pet products. We sell across Shopify, Amazon and Chewy, and we're one of the fastest-growing brands in the pet space – $50M+ in annual revenue and scaling to $100M+. We recently launched a second brand, expanding into a new customer base. We're a 100% remote, lean, senior team that moves fast, and every person here has a massive impact on the business.
Culture-fit is our #1 factor when hiring! We have a genuine will-to-win. No work is beneath us if it moves us towards our goals. We use creativity to do more with less – and quickly. We use data to make decisions and live by four core values:
If you want a stress-free corporate 9–5 job, this isn't it.
If you want to challenge yourself and shape a fast-growing company, work directly with the founder, and play a big role in scaling it to $100M+... If you want to drive results with a group of passionate, smart, hardworking people, in an environment without politics or corporate chicanery, being hands-on and active – then you've come to the right place.
90-day targets for each outcome are agreed with you before your start date.
What you own. Each one is checked green, yellow or red every week.
(1) Application + Screening Interview
(2) In-Depth Interview with our CEO
(3) Reference Calls
(4) Final Interview with our CEO
USD $7,000 to $10,000 per month, as a retainer for about 1-2 days a week.

Direct-to-consumer pet water fountains with filters

The fountains provide a continuous flow of fresh, filtered water using 304 stainless steel and come in wired or cordless models for placement flexibility, with quiet operation. Water passes through a multi-layer carbon filtration system, and filters are available on a subscription every two to four weeks. The brand differentiates itself with hygiene and durability, veterinary-approved testing, a Shopify Plus platform, recurring filter subscriptions, and a social mission that donates part of each order to cat shelters and charities, all aimed at improving pets’ health and happiness while growing a scalable business.
