About The Position

CertifID is on a mission to make payment fraud impossible. Every year, billions of dollars disappear from real estate closing tables and we are the company that stops it. We are winning. Revenue is growing, customers are expanding, and the product is working. We're hiring a Strategic Finance Analyst to support top-line forecasting, operating model development, and CFO-level strategic financial analysis during a period of rapid growth. This role sits within a highly visible FP&A organization, reporting to the Director of FP&A and working closely with our CFO. You'll get substantial visibility, focus on the highest-priority business issues, and be plugged into every facet of the business. The role calls for someone highly analytical and strategic, a great communicator, who approaches problems in a structured way and operates well with ambiguity. Just as important, you bring deep fluency with AI tools and a track record of using them to work faster and think bigger. In your first 12 months, you will own and materially improve ARR forecasting, build out the integrated operating model that powers our company planning, stand up AI-enabled workflows that raise the speed and rigor of how Strategic Finance operates, and become a trusted thought partner to functional leaders and the executive team.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree required in Finance, Accounting, Economics or other relevant field
3-5 years relevant experience in investment banking, strategic finance, PE or FP&A at a high-performing company
Advanced three-statement financial modeling skills, with clean, highly integrated spreadsheet design
A strong understanding of SaaS KPIs and unit economics (ARR, retention, churn, expansion)
Experience supporting ARR, bookings, or GTM forecasting
Deep, hands-on fluency with AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) and a demonstrated track record of using them to accelerate financial analysis, modeling, reporting, and workflow automation
A demonstrated ability to distill complex issues into structured frameworks and concrete action plans
Experience problem-solving independently, organizing your own workload, and delivering on time with minimal oversight
Genuine curiosity and drive; you operate with urgency, sweat the details, and thrive when the pace picks up
Strong executive communication skills, with a track record of presenting complex analysis clearly to senior leadership

Responsibilities

Build and enhance integrated three-statement operating models that support annual planning and long-range forecasting
Own, scale, and improve forecasting for ARR, bookings, expansion, and retention
