We are a $200m ARR, highly profitable, SaaS company that needs a smart, motivated, rigorous, and diligent individual to join our FP&A group. This is a role where you will be “in it” and expected to get your hands dirty every day. You’ll join a team whose leaders have public company (including IPO) experience, who themselves report to a CFO that came up through the ranks of FP&A. Meaning that, the team knows what great looks like, and the bar will be high. We are looking for someone with thick skin who can get things done. If you don’t possess a sense of urgency, drive, and just-get-it-done-ness, this is the wrong role for you. If you are looking for a great environment to 1) learn (or learn more) about a SaaS business, 2) be put into a position where you can make a difference to the business every day, and 3) help drive a multi-hundred-million-dollar company to a successful financial exit in the next few years, then this will be a great role for you. We are looking for individuals who both know and have the capacity to learn-including a genuine interest in using AI to automate tasks, sharpen analyses, and drive efficiency across how we work. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of FP&A projects and partner cross-functionally with teams throughout the business.\nYou will be expected to interview, both technically and for fit, and your references will be checked. While you can be anywhere in the States, please note that the FP&A leadership is located on the West Coast of the United States. If you have read this far and believe that you have the right combination of attitude, aptitude, drive, and integrity, then let’s talk. And here’s the great thing about this role: you’ll be given exposure and responsibilities commensurate with how good your work product is, not necessarily how senior you are. What that means is that if you produce high quality materials and analyses, you’ll get to present them and participate in the decisions made around them.\nWho You Are:\nYou are an inquisitive individual and like to understand how things work.\n\nAI-forward: you are genuinely interested in AI and eager to use it to automate manual tasks, improve workflows, and realize efficiencies in how FP&A work gets done.\n\nYou have a strong bias towards building (and rebuilding) things instead of simply maintaining existing processes. When you do run processes, you’re always thinking about how to make them better.\n\nYou like to dive into the data, run analyses, and then help make recommendations to others on how we can improve.\n\nYou’re adept at building relationships across the organization, helping translate what the numbers mean to others and what we should do about it.\n\nWhat You'll Do:\nAs a Senior Financial Analyst, your day-to-day responsibilities may include:\nAssist us in building best-in-class financial operations, data accuracy, forecasting capabilities, and actionable analyses\n\nLeverage AI to automate and accelerate: use AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, streamline reporting and workflows, and free up time for higher-value analysis\n\nEmbrace our culture of rigor, discipline, accuracy, consistency, and accountability, both in the FP&A org and across the entire business\n\nWork with your teammates, peers, and partners in the business to understand the underlying trends and metrics driving our business and develop ways to influence the direction we are heading\n\nEngage in real, robust business partnering to help drive efficiencies, best practices, and optimal risk taking across the business\n\nDrive operational improvements throughout all aspects of the business, across all three financial statements\n\nLearn our financial reporting tool (Adaptive Insights) and use it in your day-to-day workflows\n\nAd-hoc scenario analysis that drives actionable business changes.\n\nLead your portion of the monthly close process; investigate and resolve issues and then communicate to your peers and partners\n\nHelp develop and execute financial strategies that align with the company's growth objectives\n\nWhat We're Looking For:\n4+ years of financial analysis experience or a related field. Multiple years of experience in a relevant environment is more important than any specific amount of time. Relevant experience means SaaS/tech, PE or VC backed, and a high intensity environment. Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. We do want to see steady progression in your career.\n\nExperience in a SaaS business model is a strong positive, but we are ultimately looking for talent and fit\n\nDemonstrated experience with go-to-market (GTM) FP&A reporting and analytics within a SaaS environment, including forecasting and analyzing ARR, bookings, pipeline, and the key drivers of revenue across segments such as new business, upsell, renewal, and churn.\n\nWe are a Microsoft shop. Please have excellent Excel skills, or be able to get there fast\n\nPlease be highly analytical, with a keen eye for detail and a learning mindset.\n\nPossession of excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex financial data to non-financial stakeholders.\n\nBe ok with working very hard, while being rewarded for it\n\nSkills You Have:\nTechnical: you are proficient in Excel and have used Adaptive Insights in the past (or some sort of FP&A planning tool)\n\nAccuracy: you strive for excellence and have great attention to detail.\n\nTime management: you understand and are flexible when we need to re-prioritize work based on the needs of the business.\n\nTools You’ll Use:\nAdaptive Insights\n\nNetsuite\n\nSalesforce\n\nTableau\n\nSnowflake\n\nLocation\nPayscale has an employee-centric remote-first model that provides you the flexibility to do your best work in a space that supports you, while also finding time to collaborate in person for the moments that matter.\nIn our remote-first model, employees can work from the location that works best for them.
