8 unheard ways to hire a rockstar CFO: 1. Create the job description with a Loom Video of you It should cover the standard stuff: responsibilities, expectations, who they report to. I also include the tools they'll need to use on a daily basis like Notion, Airtable, WhatsApp, Slack, and QuickBooks Online. 2. Be completely transparent about your strengths and weaknesses It shows you have a high degree of EQ and self awareness. I created a Notion doc called BenOS which includes my personality type, human design, sleep chronotype, good/bad habits, strengths, quirks and working preferences (e.g. No 5 minute voice memos please :) 3. Choose a location for the candidate that makes sense for your business I've worked extensively in Latin America and most of the ops for my retreat business is in Costa Rica so I focused on that region while filtering candidates who have prior experience working with US companies. 4. Have multiple stakeholders interview Anyone who will be interfacing with this candidate that is in a Senior role should be conducting an interview. 5. Create a simulation scenario in the interview I always ask candidates to solve a real-world problem as it shows their critical thinking skills in a live scenario. Sometimes people crack under pressure, especially sales reps when I've done role playing in the past. 6. Define your interfacing expectations from the beginning Define the weekly meetings and how the collaboration will work. This is crucial for accounting roles, as their preferences lean towards more structure with less meetings. 7. Test them for alignment with you and the business Have them complete: • Personality Traits • Human Design • Visionary/Integrator Quiz I’m looking for someone with 98%+ integrator traits. I don’t need another visionary who wants to help with "stratetgy", just someone who can execute flawlessly. 8. Outline a 30/60/90-day plan This plan should be realistic, achievable, and ambitious enough so they feel supported and challenged in their new role. P.S. I’m hiring. I’m looking for a Controller/Finance Ops Specialist in Latin America. If you know someone great, hit me up :)

I hesitate to post this and I hesitate not to…because it’s really important to us. We are hiring for an essential and integral role in our company and we only want the perfect fit. It’s too important to get it wrong. We are looking for an: Accounting Manager •client-facing 5-star communicator •systems psycho •bookkeeping legend •financial reporting superhero Not trying to be clever here…just being real…don’t HMU if you are: - just trying to work remotely (it’s remote but that’s not a good enough reason to apply) - tired of clients - are slow to communicate - hate learning new things - aren’t adaptable - aren’t motivated by growth or money or performance bonuses - just want a job - aren’t a creative thinker or problem solver - can’t understand being obsessed with client success - is an average bean counter who isn’t dynamic and fun to talk to - doesn’t even have a picture on LinkedIn while you are job hunting. How can you help us build our brand if you can’t even build your own? Think Joan from Mad Men, Donna from Suits, Leo McGarry from West Wing, then add in all the financial acumen and top-tier bookkeeping. That’s the goal here. If this is you, message me yesterday. Send me your resume, a video intro, and a singing telegram (2/3 will work!) We are ready. Are you? #HiringNow #Accounting #CFO

Stop hiring full-time finance staff. When you first started your business, life was simpler. No employees. Fewer transactions. Minimal financial worries. But then, you grew. More staff. More complexity. And managing finances became… overwhelming. Here’s the reality: You can’t hire a full time Finance Director because your agency is growing. Your current team lacks the expertise you need. So, you’re stuck. Juggling numbers. Feeling unsure. No real-time data. No financial clarity. It’s draining. It’s distracting. And it’s costing you growth opportunities. Imagine instead: - A full finance team at a fraction of the cost. - Accurate, real-time financial insights to drive decisions. - Scalable systems built around your business needs. - Expert guidance on cash flow, taxes, and profitability. - Freedom to focus on what you’re best at. This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s the Virtual Finance Office. We provide everything from bookkeeping to strategic planning. All tailored to your business. And fully flexible, so you’re in control. Stop stressing about your finances. Start building the business you dreamed of. P.S. Interested? Let’s talk.
