This role partners closely with the CFO, CEO, operating leadership, and private equity sponsors to deliver disciplined financial planning, actionable insights, and scalable analytical infrastructure that support growth and margin expansion.
The VP of FP&A will translate complex operating and market dynamics—such as interest rate cycles, transaction-based volume volatility, servicing economics, and labor-intensive cost models—into clear financial insights that support decision-making, optimize EBITDA, and enhance enterprise value.
