Senior Finance Consultant (FP&A, SaaS)
About The Position
Limelight works with finance teams that are outgrowing spreadsheets and need a modern way to plan, forecast, and report. Our customers don’t need “implementation support” — they need a finance partner who understands FP&A deeply and can guide them through real-world planning challenges. This is a senior, client-facing consulting role. You will work directly with CFOs, VPs of Finance, and FP&A leaders to design, build, and operationalize budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, and reporting workflows inside Limelight. If you’ve lived in FP&A, led planning cycles, built models from scratch, and can confidently run a room with finance leaders — this role is for you.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in FP&A, finance, or finance consulting
- Prior client-facing experience (consulting, advisory, or external-facing finance role)
- Comfort working directly with CFOs and senior finance leaders
- Advanced Excel/financial modeling background (you’ve built real models, not just reviewed them)
- Experience implementing or working with FP&A tools or ERPs
- Comfortable leading projects without detailed instructions
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field (required)
Nice To Haves
- CPA or CFA certifications
Responsibilities
- Act as the primary finance advisor for a portfolio of customers during onboarding and beyond
- Lead working sessions with CFOs, VPs of Finance, Controllers, and FP&A teams
- Translate messy, Excel-heavy planning processes into clean, scalable FP&A workflows
- Ask the right finance questions — not just follow a checklist
- Design and implement: Annual budgets and rolling forecasts, Driver-based revenue models, Workforce and headcount planning, Actual vs budget / variance analysis, Board- and exec-ready reporting
- Guide customers on best practices, tradeoffs, and design decisions
- Ensure solutions are not just built — but adopted
- Clearly explain complex financial concepts to both finance and non-finance stakeholders
- Manage expectations, timelines, and priorities with senior clients
- Confidently present recommendations and push back when needed
- Build trust — customers should feel “this person gets our business”
- Partner closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success
- Provide feedback to product based on real customer FP&A use cases
- Help shape implementation standards and playbooks as Limelight scales
