FP&A Consultant

Overview

This role is a hands-on independent FP&A consulting engagement focused on evaluating and upgrading financial modeling and reporting infrastructure for an enterprise SaaS organization with long sales cycles, high annual contract values, implementation-intensive deployments, and multiyear customer agreements.

Work centers on strengthening an existing financial model, automating recurring reporting, improving the connection between commercial and financial data, and delivering targeted strategic analysis to executive leadership.

Responsibilities

• Audit existing financial models, reporting tools, assumptions, and data dependencies.
• Design and construct a clean, fully integrated, driver-based three-statement operating model in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Incorporate enterprise sales cycles, implementation timing, phased launches, deferred revenue, and multiyear contract structures.
• Document key assumptions, inputs, calculations, and model-maintenance procedures.

Reporting Infrastructure and Automation

• Design a standardized monthly flash-report package covering financial performance, cash, forecasts, and relevant SaaS metrics.
• Develop repeatable quarterly board-reporting templates with clear, automated data visualizations.
• Reduce manual reporting effort and improve the consistency, transparency, and reliability of financial outputs.
• Establish documentation and processes enabling the internal Finance team to maintain the completed reporting infrastructure.

Data Integration

• Evaluate the existing flow of information between RevOps, CRM pipeline data, implementation timelines, and revenue-recognition forecasting.
• Recommend and implement practical improvements to the Closed Won-to-financial-forecast workflow.
• Reduce manual handling, duplicated inputs, and model fragility.

Specialized Scenario Modeling

Develop targeted analyses, including:

• Unit economics and margin performance
• ASP and pricing trends
• Customer-level profitability
• Performance by geography, product, or segment
• Sales capacity and quota alignment
• Cash runway and hiring scenarios
• Growth-versus-profitability trade-offs

Strategic Advisory

• Translate financial findings into clear, data-supported recommendations for executive leadership.
• Identify material financial risks, opportunities, and sensitivities.
• Advise on customer profitability, cash management, resource allocation, and commission-structure alignment.
• Present recommendations and supporting analyses to relevant executive stakeholders.

Requirements

• At least seven years of experience in Finance, FP&A, Strategic Finance, or related advisory work.
• At least three years of direct enterprise B2B SaaS experience.
• At least two years of investment-banking experience (strongly preferred).
• Demonstrated experience building fully integrated, driver-based three-statement financial models from the ground up.
• Strong understanding of ASC 606, deferred revenue, annual and multiyear SaaS contracts, and implementation-dependent revenue forecasting.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and/or Google Sheets.
• Experience working with CRM and financial systems such as Salesforce, NetSuite, QuickBooks, or comparable platforms.
• Experience developing executive and board-level financial reporting.
• Ability to translate complex financial analysis into clear recommendations for senior leadership.
• Strong independent judgment, with confidence to test assumptions and identify weaknesses in existing models.
• An established independent consulting practice or demonstrated history of providing comparable services to multiple clients is preferred.

Engagement Structure

• Initial engagement length: three months.
• Focus: defined financial-modeling, reporting, automation, and advisory deliverables.
• The consultant will coordinate with designated stakeholders while independently determining the appropriate methods and approach.
• Any material expansion or follow-on support would be addressed through a separately agreed extension or statement of work.
