We replace that friction with the velocity of a single platform, integrating digital insights with in-store operations to deliver transparent transactions for car buyers and increased profitability for dealers.\nWe are a Series A, SaaS company experiencing tremendous growth. We are transitioning from a traditional SaaS company into an AI-native one - and we are doing it from Denver with a small, sharp team that ships fast and plays hard. This role sits in our Denver office and requires 3 days per week in-office.\nWhy This Role Exists\nOur finance function is small, fast, and forever evolving forward. The infrastructure is in place - automated reporting, a governed data layer, department P&Ls that publish the day the books close. What we need now is someone to own the models and the monthly analysis that run on top of it: the forecast, cost of revenue, margin, and variance work that keeps our numbers right and explains what is moving.\nThis is a hands-on, build-it role. You will own driver-based models end to end, find the cost trends before they compound, and take manual work out of the monthly cycle so more of your time goes to analysis. You will work directly with the Director of Finance and partner closely with accounting and revenue operations. You won’t be siloed in one slice of the business - this seat touches every line of the P&L.\nIf you want a role where the models are already built and the questions are already framed, this is not it.\nWhat You’ll Own\nForecasting & Models\nOwn the models: Build and maintain the driver-based models behind the forecast - subscription revenue, integration costs, hosting, and OPEX. Keep them versioned and auditable.\nMonthly forecast updates: Roll actuals into the forecast every month, with a clear record of what changed and why.\nScenario and sensitivity analysis: Stress-test the forecast against ramp, churn, and cost assumptions so we see the range, not just the point estimate.\nHeadcount and contractor modeling: Model timing, vacancy impact, and fully loaded cost.\nRevenue inputs: Partner with revenue operations on go-live timing and churn inputs, and reconcile the revenue forecast to actuals each month.\nCost of Revenue, Hosting & Operating Expense\nIntegration and vendor costs: Own the analysis behind third-party integration and data costs - a core cost-of-revenue driver of the business. Monitor variance by vendor and flag drift before it compounds.\nHosting cost: Monitor cloud infrastructure spend with in-month early reads, not post-close surprises.\nOperating expense: Track software, vendor, and contractor spend against budget; produce department-level opex variance with commentary that explains cause rather than restating magnitude.\nMargin analysis: Maintain gross margin by revenue stream, along with unit economics and cost-to-serve models.\nReporting & Variance Analysis\nBudget vs. actuals: Deliver company and department-level BVA every close, with review time reserved before distribution.\nVariance commentary: Draft the monthly narrative - what moved, why, and what it means for the rest of the year.\nDashboards: Maintain and extend the department dashboard suite so it stays self-serve and always current.\nClose support: Partner with accounting on department-level actuals and classification so every number ties across the GL, the platform, and every report that cites it.\nData integrity: Run validation and quality checks across revenue, cost of revenue, and opex before anything leaves finance.\nAutomate the repetitive: Every hour you take out of the monthly cycle is an hour redeployed to analysis. Find them and take them out - with AI tools, scripts, or better models.\nKPIs & Business Insight\nKPI reporting: Maintain the company metric set - ARR/MRR, NRR, churn, gross margin, and cost per dealer - with clear definitions and calculations everyone works from.\nMonthly KPI pack: Produce the monthly metrics package with trends and a short read on what moved, ready for the Director of Finance to take to leadership.\nUnprompted insight: Bring the analysis nobody asked for when the data warrants it - the trend that changes a decision before it shows up in the P&L.\nRequirements\nWhat You Bring\nRequired\nBachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field.\n3-5 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, or accounting experience, including direct ownership of a forecast or model.\nExperience in a SaaS, subscription, or recurring-revenue business, with a working command of SaaS metrics - ARR/MRR, NRR, churn, gross margin, and cost of revenue.\nExperience building budget vs. actuals and variance analysis at the department level.\nAdvanced Excel / Google Sheets - driver-based modeling, scenario analysis, and large data manipulation (pivot tables, XLOOKUP / INDEX-MATCH).\nDemonstrated ability to build a model someone else can pick up - clean, versioned, and auditable.\nStrong written communication: you can explain a variance in two sentences to someone who does not work in finance.\nExperience using automation in finance workflows, along with curiosity about applying AI tools such as Claude, Gemini, or similar technologies to analysis and process improvement.\nA self-starter: you see a problem, jump on it, and can take an undefined question and come back with a framework.\nStrong organizational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping balls.\nAble to work 3 days per week on-site in Denver.\nPreferred\nExperience automating a recurring report, model, or reporting process.\nPrior experience at a high-growth startup, technology company, or SaaS environment.\nBackground in automotive retail, dealer technology, or another vertical SaaS with usage- and implementation-driven revenue.\nExperience with our stack or similar tools: Rillet, Ramp, HubSpot, BambooHR, Carta.\nBenefits\nWhy You'll Like It Here\nGreen field. Much of what you will own does not exist yet. You get to define it, not inherit it.\nVisibility with leadership from month one - your analysis goes in front of the people making the decisions.\nDirect exposure to a Series B company's full planning cycle - board reporting, pricing, unit economics, and capital allocation.\nA Director who treats you as a partner, not a deliverable factory. You'll get coaching, not micromanagement.\nA culture that genuinely embraces AI as a force multiplier - your work scales with the tools you bring.\nFinance infrastructure that is already automated - you will spend your time on analysis, not assembly.\nHybrid flexibility (3 days in-office)\nOur Values: We Are DRIVEN\nDealership Obsessed: We measure our success by the dealer's wins and the trust of their buyers, not just our own code.\nRelentless Ownership: No lone wolves, but no pass-backs either. We don't say \"that's not my job.\"\nInvent with Purpose: We don't chase shiny tech. We replace guesswork with intelligence, building the data backbone that turns raw information into a competitive advantage.\nValue Every Perspective: We are Better Together. We check egos at the door.\nEvolve or Evaporate: Change is our constant. We stay ahead by learning faster than the competition.\nNow Over Next: Perfection is the enemy of progress. We prefer action over endless analysis.\nCompensation & Benefits\nAnnual performance bonus eligibility.\nEquity participation\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.\nEmployer-provided short-term and long-term disability and life insurance.\nMatching 401(k) plan.\nUnlimited paid time off, plus 10 paid holidays.\nOngoing professional development reimbursement.\nThe expected salary range for this role is $83,000 to $113,000 annually, commensurate with experience and qualifications.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7838,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Life insurance","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Automotive Components"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T23:21:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":74,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.821,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":18,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:2","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":113000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/a2zsync-senior-financial-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/a2zsync-senior-financial-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T09:21:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":20351,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":670229},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=670229"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fa2zsync-senior-financial-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fa2zsync-senior-financial-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fa2zsync-senior-financial-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/a2zsync-senior-financial-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fa2zsync-senior-financial-analyst"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":843935}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"a2zsync.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":843935},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
