About Us

Burkland’s core purpose is to Accelerate Dreams. So often, turning dreams into reality helps change the world. We thrive at the forefront of this transformation. Startups desire our professionals — they are the best in the business. Startups seek our content — we are an industry thought leader. Startups trust our expertise, so founders can focus on their companies, products and value-add. As a part of our demonstrated value, our clients raised over $1B just last year.

At Burkland, we lead with our Core Purpose. We do this for both our clients and our employees. We believe that leaning on our Core Values (Fresh Perspectives, Exponential Value, Empathy, Trusted Partner) will lead to happy clients and happy employees.

We are a remote-first company with over 150 incredible team members, more than 500 clients, and a commitment to Accelerating Dreams.

We are looking for an experienced and strategic CFO with strong operational experience in Digital Health, Friendly PC Models (MSO/PC), and/or Healthcare IT. If you have experience in these areas and a passion for helping venture-backed startups succeed, Burkland may be a fit for you.
