About the role

  • Own and lead the annual financial planning process, rolling forecasts, and long-range plans with clear timelines, accountability, and rigor
  • Build and maintain driver-based financial forecasts grounded in operational reality, explicitly modeling seasonality, onboarding ramps, client concentration, timing lags, and variability
  • Deliver timely and insightful budget vs. actuals analysis, translating financial variances into underlying operational and commercial drivers
  • Provide client- and cohort-level financial insight, including analysis of top clients, pipeline dynamics, onboarding progress, churn, and margin performance
  • Proactively identify risks, trade-offs, and emerging issues, communicating decision points early rather than explaining outcomes after the fact
  • Partner closely with Revenue Operations, Solutions Engineering, Strategic Finance, and Treasury to ensure financial narratives align with commercial and operational reality
  • Develop financial models and conduct scenario analysis to evaluate growth initiatives, investments, and strategic decisions
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing FP&A team, raising the standard for analytical thinking, judgment, and business understanding
  • Prepare and support financial materials for executive leadership, the Board, and investors, including data room support and diligence requests
  • Implement and scale next-generation FP&A systems and dashboards that integrate financial and operational data, reducing reliance on spreadsheet-centric workflows

Requirements

  • 12+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or related roles
  • Experience in fintech, payments, or other transaction-based technology businesses
  • Proven ownership of complex, end-to-end planning and forecasting processes in high-growth, global environments
  • Demonstrated ability to build driver-based financial models that reflect how the business actually behaves, not simplistic averages
  • Strong judgment and intellectual curiosity, with a track record of constructively challenging assumptions and anticipating leadership questions
  • Ability to clearly communicate financial insights and implications to executive, Board, and investor audiences
  • High proficiency in Excel and modern financial planning and analytics tools
  • Ability to manage ambiguity, large data sets, and multiple concurrent priorities with discipline and clarity
Benefits
  • We offer medical coverage along with 24/7 employee assistance program
  • Generous vacation programs including our year-end shut down
  • Flexible hybrid working environment (3 days per week in the office)
  • Role-specific training, internal workshops, and a learning stipend
