They are seeking an FP&A Analyst to manage financial planning and analysis, including revenue modeling, cash flow forecasts, and variance analysis while leveraging AI tools to enhance productivity.
Responsibilities
- ARR and revenue modeling: maintaining driver-based ARR forecast models, platform and product-level forecasting, and preparing data for system uploads
- Working capital and cash flow: building and maintaining dynamic working capital forecasts that tie to operational assumptions
- Customer and cohort analytics: ARR trending by customer segment, churn and expansion analysis, and retention metrics
- Variance analysis: budget vs. actual, period-over-period, and narrative commentary for exec and board audiences
- Ad hoc executive support: rapid-turnaround analyses and summary documents when leadership needs answers fast
Skills
- 2-4 years of experience in SaaS FP&A, preferably with experience working on the three statements
- Strong foundational knowledge of finance and accounting principles, with experience in forecasting, budgeting, and financial modeling
- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets — complex financial models, dynamic formula logic, structured data ranges, named ranges, and cross-sheet architecture
- Proficient with AI tools for knowledge work — you actively use tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar to build models, draft analysis, summarize documents, reformat outputs, and think through problems
- Able to independently produce polished deliverables: Excel models, Word documents, PDF summaries, and presentation decks, without relying on a designer or editor
- You can work backward from a business question to a model structure, not just fill in pre-built templates
- Strong instincts for what matters - you surface the insight, not just the output
- Comfortable with ambiguity; able to make reasonable assumptions, document them, and move forward without waiting for perfect data
- Clear, concise written communication. You can turn a model into a one-page executive summary without losing the substance
- Able to present findings to senior stakeholders, including the CFO, without requiring heavy pre-prep or hand-holding
- You ask sharp clarifying questions before going deep on the wrong thing
- Resourceful by default - when you hit a wall, you find a way around it
- You take ownership of your work and hold yourself to a high standard of accuracy
- Growth-oriented: you want to get better at this, not just deliver what was asked
- Resilient under deadline pressure; you can prioritize competing asks without losing quality
- Bonus: familiarity with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, or similar), SQL, or financial systems (NetSuite, Hubspot, Salesforce)
