Fractional Chief Financial

2 weeks ago

Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Allied Talent Partners Full time R1 200 000 - R2 400 000 per year
Fractional Chief Financial & Operations Architect

Department: Finance

Employment Type: Contract / Temp

Location: Africa

Reporting To: CEO


Description Allied Talent Partners (ATP), a Three Cairns Group initiative, is a mission-driven, not-for-profit talent marketplace focused on solving the human capital bottlenecks slowing down sustainable development efforts in emerging economies, with an initial focus on Africa.  ATP connects vetted, experienced, context-relevant professionals to high-impact opportunities in energy access and sustainable development – strengthening local capacity and fuelling economic vitality. We specialize in fixed-term, deliverable-driven engagements – from interim leadership and generalist projects to niche technical expertise – handling project scoping, talent vetting and matching, contracting, payroll, and compliance so that our clients can focus on impact.

High-Level Overview

Project:
The client is seeking a CFO/COO to design and strengthen the institutional architecture required for Swiss registration, tokenized fundraising, and blended finance operations. Operating at the intersection of finance, operations, and compliance, the role will establish the frameworks, systems, and governance structures needed to underpin growth and regulatory readiness. The CFO/COO will define the client's financial and governance roadmap, ensuring alignment between institutional policies, treasury management, and tokenization design. 

Reporting directly to the CEO, the CFO/COO will act as the senior functional advisor on financial management, governance, and operational integration. The role will focus on designing frameworks and defining roadmaps—not day-to-day execution—across finance, compliance, and data systems. Working closely with the Operations Lead, Chief of Staff, and external counsel, the CFO/COO will embed scalable systems and decision-making routines that promote operational discipline, transparency, and accountability. 

As the organization matures, the CFO/COO will guide the evolution of its structure and capabilities, recommending future resourcing or recruitment in finance, compliance, and operations as required. The role offers an opportunity to shape a high-impact institution at a pivotal stage, establishing the foundations for both financial sustainability and tokenization readiness. 

Role and Responsibilities
Role: Fractional CFO/COO
Direct Report: CEO  

Work relationships:
  • Works closely with the Operations Lead, Chief of Staff, and external legal counsel. 
  • No direct reports currently, but may later oversee finance and compliance staff as the organization scales.


Candidates Required: 1
Key Deliverables: 

Corporate Finance and Treasury Management
  • Establish financial governance structures, reporting templates, and monthly close processes to deliver reconciled financials within ten business days of month-end. 
  • Implement internal controls for approvals and reconciliations to ensure audit readiness. 
  • Develop cash-flow and runway visibility tools for leadership and investor reporting. 
  • Define the roadmap for migrating from spreadsheets to an integrated finance and treasury management platform for hybrid fiat and digital assets. 


Tokenization and Treasury Integration
  • Design the client's internal fundraising tokenization framework, including token structure, vesting, governance, and integration with financial systems. 
  • Coordinate with Swiss legal counsel and other advisors to validate the tokenomics model and ensure compliance with emerging FINMA and MiCA standards. 
  • Deliver a tokenization blueprint and phased implementation roadmap by Q2 2026, outlining key milestones, dependencies, and governance implications. 


Legal, Governance, and Compliance Frameworks
  • Coordinate Swiss registration with external counsel, ensuring timely incorporation as an association and roadmap to a foundation structure. 
  • Expand draft internal policies into a comprehensive governance and compliance framework aligned with Swiss and international standards, covering finance, delegation of authority, procurement, audit, risk, data protection, and ethics. 
  • Establish a phased compliance roadmap linking policy priorities to growth and tokenization milestones. 


Data-Aware Operations and Systems Design
  • Assess current operational and reporting systems to identify workflow and data inefficiencies. 
  • Define the roadmap for a scalable, cloud-based data and reporting architecture integrating financial, operational, and token metrics (potentially overseeing implementation at a later stage). 
  • Establish data-governance principles for accuracy, traceability, and accountability. 
  • Develop dashboards and reporting routines enabling real-time, data-driven decision-making. 
  • Work with the Operations Lead and Chief of Staff to embed data systems and reporting practices into institutional performance routines. 


Organizational Design and Implementation Support
  • Collaborate with the Operations Lead and Chief of Staff to clarify roles, decision rights, and reporting lines across finance, operations, and tokenization to support effective cross-functional governance. 
  • Define an organizational framework balancing strategic oversight with lean delivery, with recommendations for future structure by mid-2026. 
  • Develop a resourcing plan identifying priority hires or outsourced functions in finance and compliance. 
  • Support leadership in embedding coordination mechanisms (e.g., meeting cadence and reporting routines) to ensure operational alignment within three months of onboarding. 

Phasing and Priority Focus  To support sequencing and delivery focus, the following priorities have been agreed:
  • Immediate (0–3 months): Establish monthly close and reporting routines, implement reconciliations, ensure financial visibility and control, and coordinate Swiss registration progress. 
  • Medium Term (3–9 months): Deliver the tokenization blueprint, governance and compliance frameworks, and finance-system roadmap. 
  • Longer Term (9–12 months): Drive institutional readiness for finance and compliance system implementation, finalize governance policies, and establish operational reporting dashboards. 

Success metrics
  • Monthly close completed within 10 business days. 
  • 100% reconciled fiat and crypto balances. 
  • 12-month runway visibility updated monthly. 
  • High priority compliance and filings completed on time, with phased plan for remaining compliance and governance frameworks to be implemented subsequently. 
  • Tokenization roadmap ready for implementation by Q

Requirements Experience Required:
  • Minimum 12 years of experience in finance, operations, or institutional development within DFIs, impact investors, or financial technology environments. 
  • Demonstrated experience establishing finance, treasury, and governance systems in early-stage or scaling organizations. 
  • Prior experience overseeing Swiss or international regulatory compliance and working with legal counsel on registration or foundation structures is highly desirable. 
  • Exposure to digital assets, tokenization, or fintech-enabled financial operations preferred. 
  • Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across finance, operations, and legal functions. 

Technical Requirements:

  • Adaptable and effective in decentralized, fast-moving digital environments. 
  • Globally minded with strong stakeholder engagement skills, able to build trust across investors, partners, and institutional counterparts.
