About FinStrat Management FinStrat Management is a fractional CFO firm built for venture-backed startups. We turn accounting into insight and finance into action: clear, timely, and confident enough to stand behind in any board or investor conversation. FP&A at FSM is not a reporting function. It is a strategic partner to every founder we serve. About the Role The Senior Financial Analyst owns the financial model, structured data, and reporting cadence for a portfolio of FSM clients. This role will be heavily involved in FSM’s data and AI transformation project: standardized models connected to a live centralized data layer, AI-driven analysis, dashboarding and reporting, and a clear migration path to AWS QuickSight as our long-term reporting platform. You will use AI to move faster and smarter, while remaining fully accountable for the judgment behind every number and verifying all reporting. What You Will Do • Own the financial model and reporting cadence for a portfolio of clients, covering actuals, budget, and rolling forecast. • Build and maintain standardized, live connected Excel models, ensuring FSM best model principles are followed. • Direct, review, and take ownership of every model change made, using AI to speed up variance analysis, commentary drafting, and reporting packs while remaining fully accountable for the output. • Produce fast turnaround, presentation-ready dashboards for urgent client requests, and support each client’s migration to AWS QuickSight as their permanent BI platform. • Deliver actuals versus budget versus forecast reporting with clear, CFO-ready narrative: not just a variance table, but the 'so what' and 'what next' a founder can act on. • Partner directly with CFOs, divisional heads, and clients as a trusted advisor, surfacing the questions the business needs to answer before the market forces the issue. • Work within FSM’s centralized data infrastructure (Syncari and AWS S3), flagging data quality issues to financial controllers and your pod rather than owning the pipeline directly. • Be prepared to continually improve your technical skills to ensure we provide the best service possible for our clients. • Manage competing deadlines across multiple clients and industries, with a strong preference for SaaS. What We Are Looking For • 3 to 6 years of professional experience in financial planning and analysis or a related field. • Proven experience building financial models from scratch in Microsoft Excel, not just populating templates. • Comfort directing AI tools such as Claude as part of a financial modelling and reporting workflow, with a willingness to pursue formal certification. • Experience producing client-facing dashboards or reporting packs; exposure to AWS QuickSight or a similar modern BI platform is a strong plus. • A track record of managing multiple clients at once, ideally around five at a time, with strong prioritization skills. • Solid working knowledge of US GAAP and the core financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow. • Must speak English proficiently. • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to turn numbers into a narrative a non-financial founder can act on. • Proven ability to work US business hours, with at least six hours of daily overlap. • SaaS industry experience strongly preferred. • Benefits and Perks • Compensation commensurate with experience • Unlimited vacation • Ongoing education and training • Bonuses
