Who You Are

You are an experienced, rising finance star who has worked in both Business Unit Finance and Corporate FP&A functions.  You understand budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and are a great business partner.  You have managed a team of FP&A analysts. You understand overall company reporting, business unit reporting, and departmental reporting processes, and have assisted with the preparation of monthly or quarterly Board and/or executive management presentation decks.  You have built or worked with acquisition models or company valuation models and understand the impactful assumptions around these models. You are a spreadsheet expert with business intelligence skills.  You have experience working with planning and reporting systems, as well as building ad-hoc excel analyses and forecasting templates, and have ideally been through an ERP or stand-alone planning system implementation.  You understand financial reporting pain points and how to use automation and software to solve them.  You have worked for a VC-backed technology company or division of a larger company, with core competency in corporate FP&A.  You ideally have a banking background or competence in capital markets, as well as experience or a good understanding of the real estate industry.

You are a self-starter who is motivated by the challenge of taking your knowledge and using it to improve current reporting and create and execute robust financial models for a rapidly growing company.  You are skilled in adapting to change and consistently seeking ways to add value to the organization.  You are a problem-solver, naturally analytical and curious by nature, and diligent in researching data to help others make informed decisions.

You want to work for a company that values culture, family, and personal success as much as it values the achievement of its business objectives.
