  • Lead monthly financial planning cycles: deliver executive narratives, variance analysis, Client Business Unit (CBU) scorecards, rolling forecasts (60-90 min sessions with CBU and Service Line leaders), and forward-looking risk assessments
  • Drive profitability improvements by analyzing client margins, identifying compression risks, recommending pricing and staffing actions, and tracking performance against targets
  • Partner with NA SVPs on investment cases and resource allocation, bringing financial insights into operational decisions in real-time
  • Represent finance at the executive table as the senior NA finance voice, presenting performance with credibility and confidence

Forecast Accuracy & Financial Targets
  • Own NA forecast accuracy and financial targets: track variance monthly, identify drivers of misses, ensure EBITDA %, client margin %, revenue growth, and Rule of 40 targets are met, and recommend corrective actions early
  • Lead annual budgeting and quarterly reforecasts with CBU leaders, aligning staffing plans, revenue commitments, and P&L targets
  • Analyze revenue mix dynamics and translate mix shifts into margin and EBITDA implications for leadership

Team Leadership & Development
  • Manage two Finance Business Partners with full CBU and Service Line coverage; set priorities, manage performance, and mentor toward increasing independence and SVP level credibility
  • Oversee the Global FP&A function through the Sr. FP&A Manager; ensure consolidated P&L, executive reporting, board decks, and forecast infrastructure deliver on time and with quality
  • Serve as the quality gate on the global financial package before it reaches SVP Finance, reviewing for accuracy, completeness, and narrative quality
  • Build a culture of proactive business partnership within NA finance shifting from reactive reporting to insight generation and executive-ready storytelling

Client & Revenue Intelligence
  • Own the NA client health framework: monitor revenue concentration, profitability, renewal risk, and expansion opportunity across the portfolio; conduct quarterly analysis and present gaps, bright spots, and recommended actions to NA leadership
  • Lead client-level margin analysis in partnership with CBU SVPs; identify margin compression and drive action on pricing, staffing optimization, and SOW restructuring
  • Partner with Sales and Delivery leadership on deal structuring and pricing for strategic opportunities, ensuring margin discipline is embedded early in the revenue cycle
  • Support revenue recognition oversight with the Finance Business Partner to ensure ASC 606 compliance and forecast accuracy


Qualifications

  • Demonstrated experience as a financial business partner owning a $100M+ regional or business unit P&L with direct accountability for forecast accuracy, margin performance, and profitability outcomes

  • Excellent executive communication skills; comfortable presenting financial results, scenarios, and recommendations to C-suite and board-level audiences
  • CPA, CMA, or MBA preferred; equivalent FP&A leadership experience accepted

Preferred Qualifications
  • Hands-on experience with Prophix or similar cloud-based performance management platforms
  • Exposure to M&A integration, post-acquisition financial management, and multi-entity consolidation
