Corporate FP&A Manager

Responsibilities:

Financial Position
Own Entrata’s Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows forecasting processes, ensuring they are fully integrated with the Income Statement and operating forecast.
Manage key Balance Sheet assumptions, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, prepaid assets, fixed assets, leases, debt, equity, and other material accounts.
Develop clear explanations of free cash flow, working-capital movements, forecast changes, and key risks and opportunities.
Partner closely with Accounting to understand actual results, close-related estimates, accounting treatments, and significant Balance Sheet movements.
Establish visibility into minimum operating liquidity, strategic cash reserves, and deployable excess capital.
Analyze working-capital performance and identify opportunities to improve collections, payment timing, cash conversion, and forecasting accuracy.
Enterprise Performance
Support consolidated company forecasting, annual planning, long-range planning, month-end variance analysis, and executive and board reporting.
Manage consolidated P&L reporting and help explain changes in revenue, margins, operating income, free cash flow, and key SaaS metrics.
Evaluate operating leverage, earnings quality, cash conversion, and the sustainability of financial performance.
Develop executive-ready reporting that clearly identifies what changed, why it changed, what matters, and what leadership should do next.
Capital Allocation
Build financial frameworks to evaluate competing uses of capital, including organic growth investments, product and AI initiatives, acquisitions, partnerships, debt reduction, and other strategic opportunities.
Develop business cases that assess return on investment, payback period, cash impact, risk, strategic value, and alternative uses of capital.
Support the creation of company-wide capital-allocation principles, investment hurdle rates, and post-investment performance reviews.
Partner with business leaders to evaluate major investment proposals and translate analysis into recommendations for senior leadership.
Help leadership distinguish between cash required for operations, cash held for strategic flexibility, and capital available for deployment.
Finance Architecture
Serve as a key owner of Entrata’s financial planning models and systems, including model architecture, data quality, integrations, governance, and process improvement.
Partner with Finance Systems and other stakeholders on planning-platform enhancements or migrations without making day-to-day system administration the dominant purpose of the role.
Develop scalable reporting, dashboards, and analytical tools for financial statements, cash flow, working capital, liquidity, and capital deployment.
Use financial systems, business-intelligence tools, and data-querying capabilities to improve the speed, accuracy, and transparency of decision-making.
Identify opportunities to use automation and AI to improve finance workflows and executive decision support.
Corporate Strategy Support
Support strategic planning, scenario analysis, pricing, packaging, AI monetization, new product investments, and other enterprise-level decisions.
Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions, international expansion opportunities, strategic partnerships, and other major initiatives.
Help translate company strategy into financial implications, resource requirements, expected returns, and measurable outcomes.
Collaborate with business leaders to provide analytical rigor and independent financial perspective on strategic initiatives.
