Why this role exists

We’re a lean, Series A SaaS company with aggressive growth plans that needs a metrics-obsessed partner to scale finance from “hustle” to “board-ready engine.” You’ll be the force-multiplier—owning SaaS analytics, FP&A plumbing, and the unglamorous ops work that frees leadership to raise capital and set strategy.

Core responsibilities

SaaS Metrics & Modeling

Maintain and enhance the ARR waterfall, retention cohorts, CAC/LTV, payback, Rule-of-40 dashboards.
Run a three-statement, driver-based model; perform sensitivities on pricing, churn, sales capacity.
Partner with RevOps to improve CRM data quality → accurate bookings/renewals feeds.
Write monthly “why-it-moved” commentary for execs and board.

Finance (Strategic & Tactical)

Forecasting, scenario planning, board materials, variance analysis.
Evaluate/implement FP&A tooling (Mosaic, Cube, etc.).
Support audit prep, SOC 2, and lender/investor requests.

Operations / BizOps

Streamline order-to-cash (HubSpot → Payment) and collections; track DSOs.
Document repeatable SOPs across Finance & Ops (Scribe or similar tool).
Special projects: vendor negotiations, cost-benefit analyses, systems roll-outs.

Success outcomes

What “great” looks like:

90 days

• Publish an automated SaaS KPI pack (ARR waterfalls, gross / net dollar retention, CAC payback, Rule-of-40, cohort LTV) by close + 5.• Rebuild the driver-based forecast so ARR, cash, and GAAP revenue reconcile within <1 %.

180 days

• Stand up a self-serve metrics layer (Looker/Power BI/Other) —no more ad-hoc data pulls.• Cut forecast variance to <2 % on ARR and <5 % on burn.• Reduce monthly close from 15 to <10 business days.

12 months

• Own the board-ready SaaS narrative; Director reviews, doesn’t re-write.• Deliver scenario planning for diligence (base / –25 % churn / 2× pipeline conversion/etc.).• Finance “housekeeping” (payroll audits, vendor onboarding) consumes <20 % of Director time.

Must-have qualifications

4–6 yrs in high-growth B2B SaaS FP&A/BizOps with direct ownership of ARR waterfall and retention analytics.

Advanced Excel/Google Sheets/SQL; comfortable with window functions/CTEs. Python or R a plus.
Hands-on with a BI or FP&A tool (Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Mosaic, Cube, Anaplan).
Proven process builder—automated a report, redesigned a workflow, or implemented a system that saved real hours or dollars.

Nice-to-have

Experience supporting HR/payroll or SOC 2 compliance.
Exposure to fundraising, debt facilities, or M&A.
Curiosity around AI and knowledge of applications in finance
