Chief Financial Officer
National Insurance Defense Law Firm

The Opportunity:

We are a national, multi-state insurance defense litigation firm with approximately 300 employees seeking a strategic finance leader to join our executive leadership team in our Miami-Brickell office. While prior CFO experience is highly valued, we are also open to exceptional candidates who are ready to step into their first CFO role, particularly those who have operated as a VP of Finance, Director of Finance, Controller, or similar senior leader within a law firm or professional services environment.

This is a high-impact, strategic role for someone who understands the economics of insurance defense and professional services and can partner effectively with firm ownership and senior leadership.

The CFO will be responsible for firmwide financial strategy, performance management, and operational finance across a geographically dispersed organization.

• Identify revenue leakage and develop strategies to improve margins while remaining competitive in the insurance defense market
• Partner with operations and practice leadership to align staffing models with case economics

Accounting, Cash Flow & Controls:
• Oversee all accounting and finance functions, including billing, AR/AP, general ledger, trust accounting, and monthly close
• Manage cash flow, working capital, and banking relationships

Partner Economics & Compensation Support:
• Provide financial analysis and support for partner compensation models, capital accounts, and draws

Multi-State Operations & Infrastructure:
• Oversee financial implications of multi-state operations, including payroll, taxes, and benefits
• Partner with HR and Operations on benefits strategy, workforce planning, and compliance
• Support finance, billing, and technology system enhancements to improve efficiency and scalability

Team Leadership:
• Lead, mentor, and develop the finance and accounting team
• Build scalable processes and a culture of accountability, accuracy, and continuous improvement

Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field (CPA and/or MBA preferred)
• 5+ years of progressive financial leadership experience
• Prior experience in a law firm is required
• Demonstrated understanding of insurance defense or rate-driven litigation practices
• Experience supporting multi-state operations and distributed workforces
• Strong knowledge of law firm financial metrics, billing practices, and partner economics
• Candidates without prior CFO titles are encouraged to apply if they have operated at a senior finance leadership level and are prepared to step into a firmwide executive role

Ideal Candidate Profile:
• Strategic, business-oriented finance leader with strong executive presence
• Comfortable advising and influencing firm owners and senior partners
• Able to communicate complex financial concepts clearly to non-financial stakeholders
• Hands-on, collaborative, and solutions-focused leadership style
