About The Position

This is a full-time remote or hybrid position based in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area. Reporting directly to the CFO, the core of this role is FP&A, and that is where the work starts. You will own the enterprise planning, forecasting, and management reporting engine: the annual budget, the quarterly forecast, the multi-year outlook, and the reporting package the executive team and our investors run on. Strong FP&A fundamentals are the requirement, not the aspiration, and the first priority is doing that work exceptionally well. We are also hiring with the next several years in view. This is a finance organization in build mode, and for the right person the scope of this seat is expected to widen over time; toward deeper partnership with our commercial and operating leaders, toward the connection between operating KPIs, business intelligence, and financial outcomes, and toward broader enterprise finance leadership. We are looking for someone who can deliver on the FP&A mandate immediately and has the range to grow well past it.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. MBA or CPA preferred.
10+ years of progressive FP&A experience, including time spent as a dedicated finance partner to commercial, revenue, or operating leaders.
Demonstrated ownership of a full annual budget and forecast cycle in a multi-segment or multi-entity environment.
Track record of building finance processes where none existed, not only running processes someone else designed.
Advanced Excel and hands-on experience with an ERP and a financial planning system. Working knowledge of business intelligence and visualization tools.
Practical, hands-on use of AI tools in a finance context, with sound judgment about where the output must be verified before it reaches a decision-maker.
Experience in a private equity-backed environment, including diligence and quality of earnings support.
Insurance, membership, subscription, or healthcare services experience preferred.

Nice To Haves

You think about the whole business, not just your slice of it. You can hold the enterprise P&L, the operating model, and the customer in view at the same time.
You are commercially and business-inclined; drawn to the decisions behind the numbers, and comfortable having a point of view in front of the people making them.
You are an exceptional stakeholder partner. Operating leaders come to you early because your input makes their decisions better.
You are genuinely curious. You dig past the variance to the driver, and you keep asking until the story holds together.
You present with clarity and credibility to executive audiences, and you can translate complexity without diluting it.
You are comfortable with ambiguity and with building from the ground up, and you move between the strategic and the hands-on without friction.
You are fluent in how operational KPIs drive financial outcomes, and comfortable working alongside business intelligence or data teams to get reporting productionized.
You are an early and deliberate adopter of AI in your own workflow. You experiment, you know where it earns its keep and where it does not, and you bring the people around you along with you.
You are looking for a role you can grow into rather than a role you have already outgrown, and you bring the ambition, judgment, and pace to take on more as the company scales.

Responsibilities

Lead the enterprise annual budget and quarterly forecast processes end to end. Formalize and publish the planning calendar and hold the organization to submission deadlines and quality standards. Standardize submission templates and assumptions to drive consistency across segments and functions.
Build and maintain the multi-year enterprise financial outlook, including scenario and sensitivity analysis to support strategic and capital decisions.
Own the monthly financial reporting process and the standard artifact set delivered to executive leadership and external stakeholders.
Own the rolling cash flow forecast and working capital analysis in partnership with Treasury and Accounting.
Serve as the FP&A partner to segment, commercial, and functional leaders; present for their planning and performance discussions, and be trusted to help them make better decisions with better information.
Partner with segment leaders to assess financial trends, size EBITDA improvement opportunities, and support execution of performance initiatives.
Bring financial rigor to growth investments, pricing, and other significant business decisions through clear business cases, and close the loop on whether the results materialized.
Lead the Corporate operating expense controller process, including recurring actual versus budget reviews with functional leaders. Drive identification and execution of cost savings, with particular focus on IT operating and capital spend. Partner with Human Resources on hiring plan oversight, approvals, and business cases for exceptions.
Establish the capital expenditure and investment review process, including business case standards, ROI analysis, and post-implementation review of major spend.
Help make the linkage between operating KPIs and financial results explicit: how volume, mix, retention, utilization, and productivity translate into revenue, margin, and cash.
Partner with Business Intelligence to automate KPI production and management reporting, reducing manual FP&A workload and shortening the distance between a question and a credible answer.
Pressure-test what the data is saying. Ask why a trend moved, chase the operational root cause, and surface the insight before it is requested.
Design and stand up processes that do not exist today, with the documentation, cadence, and controls that make them durable as the company grows.
Put AI to work inside the finance function, using it to accelerate analysis, variance commentary, documentation, and recurring deliverables, and set the standards for how the team uses it responsibly with financial data.
Identify and lead process changes that improve stability and efficiency as the company scales.
Provide ad hoc analysis and decision support to the CFO and executive team.
Support external reporting, audit, and diligence requests with well-documented analysis.
