As a Senior Finance Consultant, you'll become a trusted advisor to finance leaders and their teams. You'll own customer implementations from discovery through go-live, combining your finance expertise, technical curiosity, and consulting skills to build planning and reporting solutions that transform how companies operate.

You'll work directly with customers to understand the mechanics of their businesses, challenge outdated processes, and design scalable solutions for budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, reporting, and analysis.

This is a high-impact, highly visible role at the intersection of finance, technology, and strategy. You won't just configure software-you'll help finance teams elevate their influence across the organization.What You'll Own
  • Lead end-to-end implementations for new Limelight customers, from requirements gathering and solution design through go-live and ongoing support.
  • Get inside each customer's business model to understand its key drivers, planning processes, reporting needs, and strategic priorities.
  • Design, configure, test, and validate sophisticated financial models, templates, dashboards, and management reports.
  • Translate real-world finance requirements into scalable solutions across budgets, forecasts, headcount plans, allocations, scenario models, and more.
  • Serve as the primary advisor to customer finance teams throughout onboarding and implementation.
  • Recommend FP&A best practices that improve modeling, reporting, visibility, and decision-making.
  • Lead engaging training sessions that build user confidence and accelerate adoption.
  • Manage project timelines, deliverables, dependencies, and risks while keeping stakeholders aligned and confident.
  • Partner closely with Limelight's Product and Data teams to deliver exceptional outcomes.
  • Build lasting customer relationships and identify opportunities to expand the value Limelight delivers after go-live.
What You Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, financial consulting, accounting systems, financial analysis, or financial software implementation.
  • A strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, management reporting, and financial planning cycles.
  • Hands-on experience with Excel and platforms such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Workday Adaptive Planning, or other ERP and FP&A solutions.
  • The ability to translate complex financial concepts into clear, practical, and scalable solutions.
  • Strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • A track record of managing multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines.
  • A sharp analytical mindset and a genuine enthusiasm for solving challenging problems.
  • The confidence to take ownership, ask thoughtful questions, and guide customers toward better outcomes.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving, collaborative SaaS environment.
  • CPA, CFA, PMP, or a similar designation is an asset.
You'll Thrive Here If You
  • Want to help finance teams move beyond spreadsheets and become more strategic.
  • Get energized by solving the planning and reporting challenges you've experienced firsthand.
  • Enjoy learning how different businesses make money, allocate resources, and measure performance.
  • Want to build a powerful mix of finance, consulting, technology, and leadership skills.
  • Love taking ownership and seeing a solution progress from initial idea to measurable impact.
  • Believe the future of FP&A should be faster, smarter, and far more connected.
