Financial Planning & Analysis Analyst | Fully Remote US

Own the P&L. Partner with the Business. Drive Sustainable Growth.

Are you a corporate finance professional who thrives on financial modeling, budgeting, and variance analysis? Do you want to move beyond static reporting and serve as an active finance partner to business leaders? We are seeking an Operational FP&A Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will work closely with our Director of FP&A and CFO, acting as the primary finance partner for key operating departments to manage budgets, forecast expenses, and analyze commercial SaaS performance.

Please note: This is an operational corporate finance position requiring foundational accounting literacy and advanced financial modeling in Excel. It is not a business intelligence (BI), data analytics, or SQL engineering role.

What You’ll Do:

📊 Drive Monthly Close & OPEX Management (P&L Ownership)

- Own monthly and quarterly expense-side variance analysis (Budget vs. Actuals) for assigned operating departments.

- Partner directly with Accounting during the monthly close to review accruals, verify general ledger coding, and ensure forecast integrity.

- Lead monthly budget reviews with department leaders, explaining the operational "why" behind variances and updating rolling forecasts.

👥 Own Workforce & Headcount Financial Modeling

- Build, maintain, and forecast the dynamic headcount roster and fully burdened personnel costs (salary, bonus, taxes, benefits).

- Partner with HR and hiring managers to track open requisitions against the approved annual operating budget.

- Run weekly reconciliations between HRIS data and the general ledger to maintain 100% headcount cost accuracy.

📈 SaaS Unit Economics & Commercial Performance

- Track and analyze core SaaS financial metrics (ARR, Net Retention Rate, CAC, Payback Period, and Gross Margin).

- Translate financial performance and unit economics into clear executive commentary for monthly C-Suite and Board reporting decks.

- Partner with Go-to-Market leaders to model the financial impact of hiring, quota capacity, and operational spend.

🔧 Financial Systems & Process Optimization

- Support the maintenance and modeling logic within our corporate planning environment (Workday Adaptive Planning).

- Continuously refine complex financial models in Excel, eliminating manual inputs and improving forecast accuracy.

- Execute ad-hoc financial and scenario analysis for leadership on strategic initiatives.
