Role Description

As FP&A Manager, you’ll be one of the earliest hires (around employee #6) and own the financial planning, forecasting, and analytical engine for the business. You’ll build the models, reporting, and operating cadence that help leadership make clear decisions on runway, hiring, pricing, product investments, and growth.

This is a highly hands-on role: you’ll operate like the “finance brain” of the company—partnering tightly with the CEO and cross-functional leaders to translate strategy into numbers and numbers into action.

What You’ll Do

• Build and own the core financial model and operating plan (SaaS KPIs + driver-based forecasting)
• Own budget creation and ongoing forecasting (annual plan + rolling forecast + headcount plan + scenario planning)
• Create and maintain reporting dashboards and KPI packs for weekly/monthly leadership cadence
• Run variance analysis and identify the underlying drivers of performance (budget vs actuals, forecast vs actuals)
• Manage runway and cash forecasting; advise leadership on burn, pacing, and hiring capacity
• Partner cross-functionally with Product/Engineering/Tax Ops to connect roadmap, capacity, and spend to measurable outcomes
• Lead pricing and packaging analysis support (sensitivity analysis, margin impact, revenue modeling)
• Build and maintain the revenue model and support go-to-market analytics (pipeline assumptions, conversion rates, bookings vs revenue, churn drivers)
• Own or co-own budgeting for cloud/tools/vendor spend; develop spend controls and visibility (purchase approvals, vendor rationalization)
• Support monthly close and reporting coordination with external accounting/bookkeeping (accrual awareness, expense classification, true-ups)
• Prepare board/investor reporting (monthly financial package, key metrics narrative, fundraising-ready outputs)
• Build and maintain standardized models and templates such as the assumptions log, scenario library, and sensitivity tables
• Create reporting automation (structured metric definitions, source-of-truth tables, repeatable pulls)

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting (with heavy modeling), and startup finance
• 2+ years of experience working for an early-stage SaaS startup, with the ability to thrive while operating in ambiguity and moving quickly with imperfect data
• SaaS/subscription analytics fundamentals (MRR/ARR, churn/retention, expansion, bookings vs revenue, gross margin)
• Experience in forecasting, budgeting, and management reporting in a high-growth environment - annual plan + rolling forecast, bottom-up vs top-down planning, variance analysis
• Financial modeling experience in building driver-based revenue forecasting, headcount/comp planning, burn/runway, scenario modeling, and unit economics
• Experience partnering with Product/Engineering teams on cost-to-serve, roadmap economics, and capacity planning
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets experience to include index/match or xlookup, pivots, nested logic, sensitivity tables, charting, clean model structure, including scenario planning and sensitivity analysis
• Experience using AI tools for automation in process and reporting
• Strong understanding of accounting basics: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, accruals, deferred revenue concepts
• Clear, concise communication—able to explain financial tradeoffs to non-finance stakeholders
• Data and reporting, such as pulling/cleaning data from multiple sources, and building repeatable metric definitions

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience supporting fundraising, board decks, or investor updates
• Experience with billing/RevOps and finance stack tools such as QuickBooks/NetSuite, Stripe, Ramp/Brex, etc.
• Familiarity with BI tools (Looker, Mode, Metabase, Tableau) and/or SQL for self-serve analysis
• Extensive experience using AI Tools to help with process efficiencies and recurring reporting
