This individual combines strong financial acumen with sound judgment, effective communication, and a desire to take on increasing responsibility over time.
What You'll Do - Own the weekly cash forecasting process, partnering with Accounting and other stakeholders to understand expected cash inflows and outflows, identify potential liquidity issues, and improve forecast accuracy.
- Maintain and enhance the monthly rolling forecast and long-range financial model, ensuring assumptions are current, outputs are accurate, and key operational and financial drivers are clearly understood and communicated.
- Serve as a credible finance partner to department heads by developing and communicating budgets and forecasts, challenging assumptions constructively, investigating variances, and identifying practical opportunities to improve operating and spending decisions.
- Support the annual budgeting and long-range planning processes by collecting, analyzing, and consolidating revenue and expense inputs from departments.
- Quickly structure and deliver decision-ready analyses that evaluate business performance, investment opportunities, strategic initiatives, and other management questions, with clear conclusions, risks, and recommended actions.
- Support M&A activities, including financial due diligence, modeling, and analytics related to potential acquisitions.
- Continuously improve FP&A processes, reporting, models, data flows, and systems to increase speed, accuracy, control, and scalability; identify work that should be automated, standardized, simplified, or eliminated.
- Evaluate and leverage automation, AI-enabled tools, and emerging technologies to improve financial processes, accelerate analysis, and enhance decision-making.
- Partner with stakeholders across the business to understand operational drivers, challenge assumptions constructively, and help translate financial insights into business action.
What You'll Bring - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Data Analytics, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
- 3+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, Big 4 Advisory, consulting, or another highly analytical and business-facing role.

- Advanced financial modeling and data-analysis skills with Excel, with the ability to build, audit, maintain, and improve complex models and reporting tools while analyzing large datasets efficiently and accurately.
- Strong understanding of budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and financial planning processes.
- Hands-on experience with ERP, financial planning, reporting, business intelligence, or data-visualization systems, plus demonstrated ability to learn new tools quickly.
- Experience in a high-growth, recurring-revenue, SaaS, or PE-backed environment is strongly preferred.
- CPA, CFA, MBA, or relevant analytics or systems experience is a plus, but sound judgment, learning agility, and demonstrated impact matter more than credentials alone.
