DAAXIT

Savvy Admin PROD

**About DAAXIT**

Founded in 2021 and built on more than 20 years of construction‑specific financial leadership, DAAXIT exists to help construction and skilled trades businesses grow **profitably, sustainably, and with confidence **.

We provide fractional CFO services that deliver financial clarity, stronger cash flow, and better decision‑making for contractors who are exceptional at their trade - but need experienced financial leadership to scale.

Our work is guided by five core values: **accountability, education, transformation, profitability, and transparency. ** We operate as true partners to our clients, not outside advisors.

**The Role**

As a **Fractional Chief Financial Officer **, you will act as the strategic financial leader for multiple DAAXIT clients in the construction and skilled trades industries.

This is **not a bookkeeping or transactional accounting role **.

You will serve as a trusted advisor and coach - helping business owners understand their numbers, make data‑driven decisions, and build stronger, more profitable companies.

This is a **part‑time, fractional leadership role **. Most clients require an average of **8–12 hours per month **, allowing you to work with multiple clients while maintaining flexibility and autonomy.

The role is fully remote. **Candidates ****must reside in Wisconsin ****, preferably in the southern half of the state to support clients in the Milwaukee and Madison markets. ** Occasional onsite visits may be required, particularly during new client onboarding.

**Why This Role Is Different**

This role is ideal for experienced construction finance leaders who want to stay engaged in meaningful, strategic work-without the demands of a traditional full‑time executive position.

**You Will Have**

- A highly flexible schedule

- A manageable client load

- The ability to focus on advisory and strategy-not internal corporate politics

- Direct influence on the success of growing construction businesses

Success in this role is measured by **client outcomes- **financial clarity, improved profitability, stronger cash flow, and consistent execution-not hours logged.

**What You’ll Do**

**Client Financial Leadership (Strategic, Not Transactional)**

- Serve as the acting CFO for multiple construction and skilled trades clients

- Lead monthly and quarterly financial review meetings with business owners

- Translate financial data into clear, actionable insights

- Develop and monitor annual budgets and rolling forecasts

- Guide clients through strategic planning and goal setting

- Create company Budgets

- Perform and analyze WIP calculations and construction‑specific financial metrics

- Develop, track, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs)

**Advisory & Coaching**

- Coach owners and leadership teams on financial literacy and decision‑making

- Help clients understand job costing, cash flow, and profitability drivers

- Support improvements in profitability, cash flow, and operational efficiency

- Build financial confidence and accountability within client leadership teams

**Relationship Management**

- Integrate into client teams as a trusted, service‑oriented partner

- Maintain strong, professional client relationships

- Meet communication and responsiveness expectations consistently

- Provide regular internal updates to DAAXIT leadership on client progress and needs

**General Responsibilities**

- Uphold DAAXIT’s mission, values, and code of conduct

- Protect client and company confidentiality

- Manage time effectively and meet deadlines

- Escalate issues proactively when support is needed

- Participate in ongoing training and professional development

- Support process improvement and documentation efforts

- Take on additional projects as assigned

**Qualifications**

**Required Industry Experience**

**Construction Industry Experience Is Required.**

We are seeking candidates with senior‑level financial leadership experience supporting:

- General contractors

- Subcontractors or specialty trades (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, painting, etc.)

Experience limited to manufacturing, logistics, software, transportation, or private equity-without direct construction financial exposure-will **not ** be considered.

**Required Skills**

- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and the Microsoft Office suite

- Strong experience with QuickBooks and construction‑specific ERP systems (Sage, Timberline, Spectrum, Trimble, Acumatica, Viewpoint, or similar)

- Expert‑level experience with WIP calculations and construction job costing

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills

- Ability to explain complex financial concepts in a clear, practical way

- Strong client service and relationship‑management skills

**Education & Experience**

- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required

- 8–10 years of progressive accounting or finance experience within the construction industry

- 5-10 years in a senior financial leadership role (CFO) within the construction industry

**Who Thrives In This Role**

You will enjoy this role if you:

- Have deep construction financial experience and enjoy mentoring business owners

- Prefer flexible, autonomous work over traditional corporate structures

- Like building long‑term client relationships as a trusted advisor

- Want your work to have visible, meaningful impact on small‑to‑mid‑sized businesses

This role is not a fit if you prefer highly structured corporate environments or primarily transactional accounting work.

**Work Environment & Travel**

- Primarily remote

- Occasional travel to client sites, especially during initial onboarding

- Prolonged computer use and sitting

- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required for occasional travel

**Compensation & Structure**

Compensation is based on a **per‑client retainer model ** and varies by experience, client complexity, and workload. Additional paid administrative time may apply in accordance with DAAXIT’s compensation structure.

Role structure (W‑2) will be determined based on availability, workload, and mutual agreement.

**Ready to Make an Impact?**

If you’re an experienced construction CFO or finance leader looking for meaningful, strategic work with the flexibility to design a schedule that fits your life, we’d love to connect.
