About This Job

Read This First: This Role Isn’t for Everyone

Are You Ready for the Future of Finance?

At Focused Energy, we don’t just acknowledge the shift happening in finance and accounting—we’re building for it. AI and Machine Learning aren’t just buzzwords here; they are a fast-moving reality already automating and replacing many of the industry’s traditional tasks.


We see what’s coming.


We believe it.

And we’re not running from it—we’re integrating it.

Through our proprietary AI & ML tools, we’re reshaping how strategic finance is delivered—raising the bar well beyond what most Fractional Finance & Accounting firms can offer. Our clients don’t just get reports—they get clarity, foresight, and decision-making power at the speed of modern business.


So we’ll ask you:

Are you paying attention to how technology is transforming your field?
Do you want to lead rather than react to change?
Are you someone who delivers exceptional strategic service, and is eager to scale that impact through intelligent enablement?

We understand that for many, this path may not sound exciting—it might even sound unsettling. That’s okay. This isn’t for everyone.

We’re only looking for the uncommon talent—the ones ready to shape the future rather than brace against it.

If that’s you, we invite you to continue with the job description below..

Not out of obligation, but out of shared ambition.

Chief Financial Officer – Drive Financial Excellence with Focused Energy


About Focused Energy

For businesses struggling to scale beyond their current limits, and ready to solve institutional roadblocks, Focused Energy is a multi-disciplinary fractional extension of their team. We offer trustworthy insights with actionable directives to provide value and drive results.

Our framework addresses root-cause issues at the CFO, COO, and CPA level—so leaders can stop guessing at the numbers and putting out endless fires, and finally start achieving the goals that have been on hold.

From small businesses to Fortune 500s, clients choose us when they need to think strategically, ask better questions, and execute with precision. We provide the seasoned talent and strategic clarity they can’t find in-house.


Purpose of the Role

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will serve as the Client Lead on projects, managing the financial actions of client businesses. This includes structuring financial systems, developing policies, and contributing directly to strategic execution.

Team Leadership: Mentor and direct finance team members to deliver on scope, on time.
Reporting: Provide real-time, actionable insights with the help of AI-integrated dashboards and data pipelines.
Operational Improvement: Use data trends—surfaced both manually and algorithmically—to make better decisions faster..


Principal Responsibilities

Cash Flow Management: Build and maintain customized weekly cash flow models.
Financial Reporting: Ensure timely publication and analysis of monthly financial statements.
Internal Controls: Strengthen financial processes and enforce best practices.
Audit Coordination: Manage preparation and support for annual audits.
Local Presence (Denver): Participate in client meetings when necessary.

As CFO, You Must Be Able To:

Anticipate financial and operational risks, and propose proactive, tech-savvy solutions.
Identify inefficiencies and explore opportunities for intelligent automation.
Represent financial interests at the board level—while championing innovation.
Explain complex financial and tech-driven insights to non-financial stakeholders.
Build and evolve long-range planning tools—leveraging both traditional and AI-enhanced forecasting models.


Qualifications & Competencies

15+ years in accounting/finance with proven CFO-level experience.
CPA, CMA, or advanced degree in Finance/Accounting preferred.
Proficient in QuickBooks Online, Excel, and cloud-based finance systems.
Strong financial modeling and forecasting skills, with comfort adopting AI-driven tools.
