Responsibilities
Be Garlic is a Miami-based produce import company specializing in garlic for U.S. wholesale markets. We're looking for an experienced Fractional CFO to bring financial discipline and visibility to a growing operation with international supply chains, factoring arrangements, and multi-customer wholesale distribution.
What You'll Do:
Build and maintain cash flow projections and forecasting models tailored to an import/distribution business with variable lead times and seasonal demand
Develop scalable financial processes — AR/AP workflows, approval controls, and reporting cadences — to keep the books clean as we grow
Review supplier invoices and monitor accounts receivable and payable
Perform margin analysis by container and by client to identify where we're making (and leaving) money
Oversee and direct a VA/bookkeeping assistant and outsourced bookkeeper, ensuring day-to-day financial operations run smoothly
Partner with ownership on credit facility negotiations and banking relationships
What We're Looking For:
Proven experience as a fractional or full-time CFO, controller, or senior finance leader — ideally in food distribution, perishable goods, or import/export
Familiarity with factoring, international wire transfers, and trade finance
Comfortable working with Zoho Inventory and QuickBooks Online (or similar platforms)
Strong process-builder who can design workflows, not just follow them
Hands-on mindset — this is a small team, not a corner office role.
Engagement:
This is a part-time/fractional engagement. Hours and compensation will be discussed based on experience and scope.
