A retained fractional CFO contractor role supporting Canadian SMBs and startups across one to five concurrent engagements, with client acquisition and operational support handled by Numinor.
Numinor recruits senior fractional CFOs onto its bench, then matches each contractor with Canadian companies that have already signed a Numinor CFO retainer. The book of business arrives pre-warmed: clients have chosen Numinor and agreed to monthly fees before you are introduced. You operate as an independent professional under your own corporation or sole proprietorship, taking on between one and five concurrent engagements depending on your available capacity.
Numinor handles client acquisition, contracting, billing, collections, and the underlying bookkeeping and tax work for each engagement. Your focus is strategic finance. The role includes onboarding to Numinor's shared playbooks and templates in the first two weeks, a first client match by day 30, and monthly working calls with the head of CFO services to review progress and pipeline.
- Serve as the named fractional CFO for each client Numinor matches you with.
- Build and maintain monthly board packs, KPI dashboards, and rolling cash forecasts.
- Run scenario planning covering hiring decisions, pricing changes, fundraising rounds, and exit preparation.
- Represent clients on board and investor calls, fielding questions from investors and lenders.
- Coordinate with Numinor's bookkeeping and tax teams to keep each engagement running on a single rhythm.
- Contribute improvements back to Numinor's shared playbooks, templates, and financial models.
- Seven or more years of senior finance experience, including time in a CFO, VP Finance, or FP&A director role.
- Direct experience with Canadian SMB or startup finance, including at least one fundraising cycle from the company side.
- CPA designation or an equivalent international qualification with Canadian working knowledge.
- Operating as an independent contractor through a corporation or sole proprietorship, with professional liability insurance in place or willingness to arrange it.
- Availability for at least one active engagement, with capacity to take on more as client matches arise.
- Strong communicator who can translate complex finance into clear language for non-financial founders.
