The Impact Lab is a free virtual community for small business owners who want to grow their business and their paycheck. Our mission is to support small business owners from underserved communities in achieving financial stability and long-term success, using their businesses as pathways to economic mobility and community reinvestment.
Through our 1:1 program, the Impact Lab provides small business owners with eight weeks of custom, individualized finance support from our CFOs, who help them grow their business revenue and personal income, ultimately establishing a financially stable business and lifestyle. Our programs are offered in both English and Spanish, led by bilingual CFOs, and we have supported more than 250 small businesses to date.
Who Are We?
The Impact Lab is a proud social impact program of Mission Edge, a social enterprise located in Liberty Station in San Diego. While Mission Edge is formally incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we operate like a mission-driven for-profit business. We believe that to sustain real, good impact, the social sector must be supported by earned revenue. We are genuine do-gooders with real business savvy determined to make the social sector more sustainable.
The Impact Lab is growing rapidly, and we are seeking to add an outgoing and smart bilingual Small Business CFO Consultant to our team! The CFO consultant will be responsible for working with the small businesses enrolled in our Impact Lab program, in English and Spanish. This role is instrumental to the growth of the Impact Lab’s position in the United States entrepreneurial ecosystem. This person will get to work with entrepreneurs and help drive social innovation in our community!
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced CFO consultant to join our dynamic team. This role is ideal for someone who specializes in providing strategic financial guidance to small businesses (typical annual revenue is $50k to $250k). The Small Business CFO Consultant will work with multiple clients, offering the expertise and insights of a CFO.
This is a part-time, non-exempt position. Hours will vary based on when the program is active, but are expected to be approximately 10 to 40 hours per month. The hours will take place during weekdays, but the times will be flexible (mix of day and evening) depending on the availability of the small business owners. The position is remote, with a strong preference for candidates based in San Diego. Our ideal start date is January 19, so you can complete onboarding and training before the February 1 cohort.
You will be supporting small businesses to be successful by helping them truly understand their financial position.
