Director of Financial Planning & Analysis
About the Role
We’re looking for a hands‑on, strategic Director of FP&A to own our forecasting engine, bring clarity to our growth path, and embed finance as a true partner across the business. You’ll work directly with the VP of Finance and executive team to build and maintain a forward‑looking model that’s accurate, accountable, and actionable, helping guide mission‑aligned growth for our fintech/SaaS company powering nonprofits and empowering changemakers.
Responsibilities
Own end‑to‑end forecasting and planning processes, including company‑level models, departmental budgets, rolling re‑forecasts, and scenario trees.
Lead strategic modeling in partnership with the VP of Finance and senior leadership, including treasury modeling, payment monetization streams, and product‑led growth scenarios.
Maintain and evolve our Drivetrain model architecture with emphasis on transparency, automation, and decision readiness.
Deliver budget‑to‑actual analysis, KPI dashboards, and executive‑ready insights that fuel accountability across functions.
Serve as a business partner to GTM, PDE, G&A and treasury teams — translating goals into numbers, enabling budget owners, and supporting multi‑stream revenue planning.
Collaborate with the Finance Ops Manager to streamline planning inputs, improve forecast hygiene, increase Drivetrain adoption, and embed AI‑enabled workflows.
Champion finance automation: design and maintain self‑serve dashboards, pilot forecast‑update bots, and eliminate manual churn across financial planning.
What We’re Looking For
5‑8+ years of FP&A experience in high‑growth SaaS, fintech, payment/processing, or platform business models.
Proven track record owning company‑wide planning cycles and operating models that include multiple revenue streams (e.g., subscription, processing, treasury).
Strong modeling skills (advanced Excel + experience with platforms such as Drivetrain, or equivalent).
Experience with treasury or payments economics, multi‑stream monetization (SaaS + fintech), and scenario planning for complex business models.
Analytical mindset and ability to distill complex data into actionable recommendations for business leaders.
Comfortable building from scratch, working cross‑functionally in a fast‑paced environment, and wearing multiple hats.
Experience enabling self‑serve finance models and driving adoption of planning tools across non‑finance stakeholders.
Executive presence: able to present to senior leadership, translate insights into strategy, and influence resource allocation.
Bonus Points
Background in fintech payments, treasury management, or payment‑processing economics.
Experience in mission‑driven / nonprofit‑tech contexts or platforms supporting social impact.
Proven ability to build automation in finance (AI/ML‑enabled workflows, bots, self‑serve dashboards).
