Financial Analyst
HAVE VISIBILITY INTO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF DECISION MAKING AT OUR COMPANY
FP&A is a fast-growing, high-impact team that is chartered with three main objectives:
- Corporate performance management: Lead budgeting process by collaborating with senior management to design annual operating and financial plan.
- Corporate forecast & guidance: Provide short and long-term forecast across business lines from bookings to cashflows. These forecasts inform management on the progress and effectiveness of the company's strategic plans and investments and enable management to communicate with external stakeholders.
- Internal & External Metrics: Prepare reports & historical analysis on key Saas KPIs (ARR / ACV, Funnel Performance, LTV, CAC Payback, etc.)
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN OUR TEAM:
We partner with every group across the company (Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Product, Finance and Legal), and given the strategic and operational nature of the team, work closely with the CFO, CEO and other members of the executive team to influence key business decisions.
Your next manager has been with Sisense for 3.5 years. She started her career here as a Staff Accountant, was promoted to Senior Accountant and then switched to an Analyst role. In other words, she has tons of experience with our systems, our processes and our operations. She’s eager to grow our next analyst in their career by being both hands on and providing autonomy to choose projects and help propel the business forward.
