About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

This is the core FP&A execution role.
Own the financial models, reporting packages, and close operations that the US Finance team currently builds manually.
Run them overnight, so the US team arrives to finished, reviewed deliverables every morning.
Three areas: financial modeling (rolling forecast, EBITDA Bridge, scenarios), BI and reporting (BL packages, dashboards, BvA templates, Investor Package), and close operations (checklist, accruals, accounting liaison).
Financial modeling quality, output precision, and formatting discipline are non-negotiable.
Rolling forecast: monthly actuals ingestion → model update in Pigment → reforecast remaining periods → ±5/10% sensitivity → assumptions memo for SVP review
EBITDA Bridge: monthly production from June 2026 — actual vs. budget, vs. prior year, waterfall format, variance commentary per KLD standards
Business line (BL) packages: monthly for all business lines — revenue, cost, headcount, variance vs. budget, formatted per KLD template
BvA templates: maintain in Pigment; ensure commentary standards are applied consistently across all lines
Investor Package: pull from Pigment, format per template, assemble first draft for FP&A Director review
KPI scorecard: monthly — revenue, EBITDA, DSO, cash, close cycle with traffic-light RAG indicators
BI dashboards: maintain Power BI dashboards for Collections, Analysts, FP&A — monthly refresh
Close operations: own the close checklist, monitor Accounting SLA (BD1/BD3/BD4), flag slippage to FP&A Manager
Accruals review: work with Accounting to review and validate monthly accruals before books close
