The posting

Fractional Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

CAP3 | Wilmington, NC

CAP3 is not a traditional accounting firm—and this is not a traditional finance role.

We’re looking for a Fractional Chief Financial Officer who loves business. Someone who can think strategically and roll up their sleeves. Someone who gets just as excited about improving a client’s cash flow as they do helping them make a big decision. If you’re the kind of person who wants to sit in a boardroom all day, this probably isn’t for you. If you want to be in the business, helping owners actually run and grow it—keep reading.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

You’ll serve as a financial leader for multiple growing businesses, acting as a true partner to the owner—not just an advisor from a distance.

  • Work directly with business owners to understand how their business really operates
  • Turn financials into clear, actionable insights (not just reports)
  • Own cash flow, forecasting, and profitability strategy
  • Build and refine KPIs that actually drive behavior and results
  • Help clients make decisions around hiring, pricing, expansion, and investment Identify problems early—and help fix them (not just point them out)
  • Lead client meetings and be a trusted voice in the room
  • Collaborate with our internal team to ensure execution matches strategy

Who This Role Is Perfect For

  • You’ve worked in finance, accounting, or advisory—but always wanted to be closer to the business side
  • You enjoy problem-solving more than just reporting
  • You’re comfortable switching between big-picture thinking and detailed execution
  • You don’t mind getting into the weeds when needed
  • You can communicate financial concepts in a way that actually makes sense to business owners You take ownership and don’t wait to be told what to do

Who This Role Is NOT For

  • Someone looking for a purely corporate or siloed CFO role
  • Someone who only wants to review financials, not engage in operations
  • Someone uncomfortable with ambiguity, variety, or fast-moving environments

What You Bring

  • Strong financial foundation (accounting, FP&A, or similar background)
  • Experience with financial statements, forecasting, and cash flow management
  • Ability to connect numbers to real-world business decisions
  • Comfort working across multiple clients or projects
  • Experience with tools like QuickBooks Online and Excel Strong communication skills—you can lead a room, not just analyze data

Our Core Values – The CAP3 EDGE Empowerment – We help people achieve more than they thought possible Diligence – We own the details and deliver with discipline Generosity – We go above and beyond for clients and each other Excellence – We hold a high standard because it matters

Why CAP3 You won’t be stuck in a back-office role here. You’ll be in conversations that matter, helping real businesses grow, make decisions, and succeed. This is a role for someone who wants to build, influence, and be part of something—not just report on it.

If this sounds like the kind of role you’ve been looking for, please apply by October 2, 2026.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
