I’m being considered for a CFO role with a family office employer that’s way under 50 employees. Has anyone negotiated this type of employment by way of a contract that outlines compensation structure, bonus, long-term incentives, equity, and termination comp? Being a small employer and especially under 50 employees means they are exempt from FMLA laws/practices as well as other regulations. Seems like too high profile position with risks to not have a contract in place and be “at-will”

It sounds like too small a firm to have such a high profile title… maybe not the same as a CFO role in a larger company?

just my $0.02

It’s a family office that has a foundation which I believe is a separate entity. This role reports to the CEO who is also a family member on the board of directors for the foundation. Long and short, this role basically oversee all of the family’s commercial real estate, driving value, overseeing relationships with lenders, equity partners etc. The title is CFO/Asset Manager (title doesn’t really matter) it’s more so the concept of being employed by a small entity that is maybe 10-15 people. There’s plenty of businesses out there with 10-15 people where people are employed for many years which, more often then not can be a more lucrative situation as your contributions are more high impact. I personally would never put myself in that situation as an at-will employee. Just looking for guidance from someone who has successfully negotiated a contract as I would want to protect myself

I would seek transparency from the beginning with your recruiter

A firm approached me with an offer because I had worked with some partners who recently joined. They said it’s not really a “practice” of the firm to guarantee the bonus and that they want to properly incentivize people to hit hours… but I now have data from current associates and ones who had offers (including recently this past month) who received guarantees — nothing exceptional about their circumstances either.

How do I respectfully present that data in a counteroffer?
