Overview
Much like every industry, there are massive headwinds CFOs and their teams face. From trying to combat fraud to working to hire, retain, and promote staff in the midst of a pandemic, corporate finance teams must have their ears to the ground on what’s coming next. The issues are myriad, and not just financially related: MeToo, BLM, covid, and advancements in technology all are shifting the way financial teams operate.
Beyond helping the CFO and their org chart navigate the seemingly byzantine structures of today’s corporate America, there’s also an opportunity to help financial professionals translate what they do and how they do it for C-level executives, board members, and shareholders.
Through a mix of humor and empathy, we will help the corporate financial executive understand their role in the workforce by reporting on both the strategic and tactical levels. Why a CFO does what they do, but also how. We’re looking for a reporter to ideate, research, and create journalism to help take this vertical to the next level.

- Pitch, report, and write stories and other associated journalistic endeavors for CFO Brew — via newsletter, on-site articles, and other venues of distribution.
- Generate ideas for and lead/co-lead creation of non-newsletter editorial initiatives, enterprise pieces, and evergreen content, as we build out a digital home.
- Conduct research to support creation of key stories and inform longer-term projects.
