What You’ll Do
Finance Planning, Forecasting & Reporting
- Build and maintain driver-based financial models to support annual operating plans and rolling forecasts (revenue, COGS, Opex, headcount, capex).

- Support month-end and quarter-end close with reconciliations, accruals, and cohort/deferral schedules; ensure alignment between finance reports and source data.
- Develop standardized KPI packages and executive dashboards (e.g., revenue, contribution margin, CAC/LTV, churn/retention, cohort profitability, cash runway), refreshing on a predictable cadence.
- Write or generate high-quality SQL to extract, join, and transform data from our cloud data warehouse; curate reliable, documented datasets for Finance and Accounting.

- Build automated data quality checks (reconciliation rules, threshold monitors) and partner with Finance to resolve exceptions.
- Optimize query performance and data partitioning for timely reporting across month-end close and weekly forecast cycles.
- Partner with fraud and product teams to incorporate key drivers (pricing, interchange, charge-offs, fraud losses, partner fees) into finance datasets.
- Translate complex data findings into concise narratives, visuals, and clear recommendations for Finance and the Executive Team.
- Establish SLAs for recurring deliverables (close packages, board metrics, forecast refreshes) and communicate deviations proactively.
- Document assumptions, definitions, and metric logic; drive alignment on a single source of truth for financial KPIs.
Required
- 3–6 years in FP&A, financial analysis, or data analytics supporting finance within fintech, banking, SaaS, or similarly data-rich domains.
- Intermediate SQL with demonstrated experience querying large datasets in a cloud data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
- Strong proficiency in Excel/Sheets (index/match/xlookup, nested logic, pivoting, scenario/sensitivity modeling).
- Solid understanding of financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), GAAP concepts (revenue recognition, accruals, deferrals), and variance analysis.
- Experience building driver-based forecast models and operational KPI dashboards for executive audiences.
- Clear, concise communication skills; ability to translate technical details into business insights.
- Experience with dbt and modular analytics modeling; familiarity with CI/testing and documentation practices.
- Python (pandas, numpy) or R for analysis, reconciliation, or statistical analysis.
- Familiarity with BI/analytics tools (ThoughtSpot, Looker, Tableau, Power BI) including data modeling and governance.
- Exposure to banking/fintech economics: interchange, ACH, BIN sponsorship, fraud losses, charge-offs, loss provisioning, and cohort/retention analysis.
- Experience designing metric definitions and data contracts that align Finance with Product, Risk, and Operations.
