About The Position

This is a chance to step in as the CFO—backed by a full finance team—and actually drive the business. Northstar Financial Advisory is a fast-growing outsourced accounting, bookkeeping, and tax firm supporting small to mid-sized businesses. We built our foundation in the cannabis space and are expanding into construction, healthcare, SaaS, and ecommerce. We don’t just “do the books”—we build finance functions that scale. You won’t be working in silos. You’ll lead a fully integrated finance team (controller, senior accountant, bookkeeper) with real-time data, not outdated reports. When you advise a client, it’s based on what’s happening now—not last month.
