- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure alignment on financial goals and deliverables.
- Utilize forecasting and planning tools to support company-wide financial initiatives and enhance predictive accuracy.
- Support long-range and annual financial planning processes including income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow modeling.
- Assist in due diligence, fundraising, and other strategic finance initiatives as needed.
What we need:
- BA/BS in finance, accounting, economics or a quantitative discipline (Masters is a plus).
- 5+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related field, ideally in a SaaS or tech-driven company.
- Proven ability to independently manage projects and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
- Advanced skills in presentation design and storytelling for executive audiences.
- Strong command of financial modeling, analysis, and a deep understanding of all three financial statements.
- Experience with forecasting tools (e.g., Adaptive Planning, Anaplan) and data visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau, Looker).
- Technologically savvy with the ability to quickly grasp new tools and systems.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, and a team-oriented mindset.
