Executive Assistant to Chief Financial Officer

Onsite Full Time Corporate Finance & Strategic Planning

Be the person the CFO can't run the day without!

This is a high-trust, high-visibility role supporting the CFO of a global, multibillion-dollar company headquartered right here in Fort Worth, Texas. You'll sit at the center of the finance organization, with a front-row view of how a business at real scale actually runs. If you're the kind of person who finds genuine satisfaction in bringing order to a busy executive's world - and quiet pride in being the reason nothing slips - keep reading.

What you'll be doing

  • Owning a complex, ever-shifting calendar and protecting the CFO's time like it's the most valuable resource in the building (because it is)
  • Coordinating board meetings, audit committee sessions, and investor touchpoints - from scheduling and logistics to pulling materials together so everyone walks in prepared
  • Serving as the trusted gatekeeper and first point of contact, deciding what reaches the CFO and what you can handle yourself
  • Managing travel end to end, including the inevitable last-minute reroutes, so the only thing the CFO thinks about is the meeting on the other side
  • Preparing and polishing presentations, agendas, and reports - clean, accurate, and ready to share
  • Handling expenses, approvals, and the steady stream of administrative details that keep the office running smoothly
  • Acting as a liaison across the finance team, fellow executives, and external partners, often speaking on the CFO’s behalf
  • Attending key meetings, capturing notes, and ensuring follow-through on action items so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Managing both professional and personal calendar needs with the same level of care, attention, and discretion

You'll thrive here if:

  • You anticipate rather than react, and you'd rather solve a problem before anyone knows it existed
  • Calm is your default setting, even when three things land at once
  • You communicate cleanly and warmly with everyone from the front desk to the boardroom
  • You're genuinely organized - not "color-coded folders" organized, but the kind that holds up under pressure
  • You’ve supported a senior executive before and know the rhythm of the role
  • Your emotional intelligence is high - you read the room quickly, adapt your approach, and build trust with people at every level
  • You’re curious about AI and new technology - not intimidated by it - and you lean into tools that make you sharper and faster
  • You collaborate well with other EAs and thrive in an environment where the whole team wins together

What we're looking for

  • Several years of executive support experience, ideally backing a C-level leader
  • Comfort operating in a finance, professional services, or similarly fast-paced environment
  • Fluency with calendar, travel, and document tools, and the judgment to know which task deserves your attention first
  • A track record of handling confidential matters with complete discretion
  • Strong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; familiarity with Microsoft Copilot or similar AI-powered tools is a plus
  • Comfort managing communication and scheduling across global time zones with ease and professionalism
  • A Bachelor’s degree is required
