Full Job Description
About the Team:

The FP&A team partners with executive team members across the company to provide timely, fact-based, data-driven decision support to help drive critical business decisions. The team drives annual planning, owns the operating plan and long-term financial model, and is responsible for both internal and external / Board reporting.

About the Role:

We are looking for an analytically rigorous, high-potential finance professional to own G&A expenses and cash flow analysis and support the FP&A leadership team in building out a scalable, IPO-ready finance function at AlphaSense. This role is a strong fit for someone with hands-on FP&A or corporate finance experience - ideally built on an early foundation in investment banking or transaction advisory - who's looking to take on more ownership: building the models, seeing decisions through, and partnering directly with the leaders who act on the work. You will bring first-class modeling and analytical discipline; we will give you the room to apply it to how the business actually runs and scales. This is a high-visibility seat: you'll work directly with the CFO, SVP of Finance, and other senior leaders across the business, with regular exposure to executive-level decisions as we scale toward IPO.
Who You Are:
  • Technically excellent: 3+ years of finance experience, with meaningful time spent in FP&A or corporate finance; an early foundation in investment banking or transaction advisory is a plus. You build clean, driver-based financial models from scratch and can identify what actually moves the numbers.
  • Fluent in the three statements: You understand how the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow connect, and you are comfortable building and defending a cash flow forecast.
  • Systems- and data-minded: Expert in Excel; comfortable working across financial systems and data. Experience with Adaptive Insights, NetSuite, Tableau, or SQL / BI tools is a strong plus, and a willingness to get technical with data is expected.
  • Ready to build, not just report: You want ownership and are energized by helping stand up processes that scale, rather than running the same deck every month.
  • Collaborative: A trusted thought partner with exceptional written and verbal communication who works well across Finance, Accounting, HR, and the business.
  • Entrepreneurial: You thrive in a fast-paced, changing environment and can pivot from a detailed reconciliation to an executive-level insight without losing the thread.
  • Familiar with core accounting concepts and rules.

What You'll Do:
  • Own monthly analysis, budgeting, and forecasting for G&A functions (e.g. Finance, Legal, HR, IT, Facilities), partnering with cost-center owners on spend vs. targets and trade-offs
  • Build and maintain the company's cash flow forecast, including working capital, billings and collections, and liquidity analysis
  • Support monthly close: analyze results, prepare variance explanations, and ensure accuracy of G&A expense and cash reporting
  • Coordinate quarterly forecasts and the annual budget for your areas of ownership
  • Partner cross-functionally with Accounting and Analytics to consolidate and interpret financial results
  • Prepare and present executive and Board-level reporting and models - partnering directly with senior finance and business leaders, and getting real airtime to translate detail into decision-ready insight
  • Contribute to finance-led process improvement and special projects as we drive toward IPO readiness
