You will bring discipline to top-line modeling, support investor and board storytelling, and partner with accounting to ensure forecasting practices are GAAP- and audit-ready

Fully own and maintain Ambience’s 2-year financial model and rolling P&L forecast, including version control, updates, and internal distribution

Lead the annual planning process end-to-end, including bottoms-up budgeting, goal alignment with department leads, and integration into the operating model

Establish and run a monthly reporting cadence for forecast vs. actuals, including budget variance analysis, cash forecasting, and key variance commentary

Lead financial preparation for quarterly board meetings, including top-line forecast updates, performance narratives, and investor-ready materials

Build forecasting engines that link rep capacity, pipeline stages, and pricing into revenue forecasting, partnering with GTM and RevOps to validate assumptions

Represent finance at deal desk to ensure effective margin representation across customer engagements

High ownership mentality: independently manages forecast updates, builds repeatable processes, and drives automation without hand-holding

Excellent executive communication: translates complex financial models into crisp, defensible insights for leadership and board audiences

6-10 years in strategic finance, FP&A, or investment banking with progression into operating roles at high-growth SaaS or technology companies

Direct experience owning company-wide financial models and annual planning processes, including multi-year P&L forecasting and scenario analysis
