FP&A Expert | $2000 One-Time Remote
Overview
This role is part of a project to build a comprehensive library of corporate FP&A work products. You'll receive mock financial files—actuals, driver schedules, and department budgets—and complete self-contained planning exercises, producing deliverables that are evaluated against a rubric. The engagement is fully remote and task-based, offering a one-time payment of $2,000. This is a chance to put your planning and forecasting expertise to work on a variety of real-world scenarios without the commitment of a full-time role.
What You'll Do5
- 1Develop yearly budgets from the ground up and multi-year strategic plans, including consolidation and approval workflows.
- 2Generate rolling reforecasts for the P&L, cash flow, and KPIs that incorporate actual performance and updated business drivers.
- 3Create detailed headcount and capital expenditure plans that factor in hiring timelines, project approval processes, payback periods, and prioritization.
- 4Assemble monthly management reporting packages complete with variance commentary, and perform profitability analyses by product, customer, or segment using cost allocation methodologies.
- 5Project revenue based on bookings, pipeline strength, and demand signals, and clearly document all model drivers and assumptions.
Requirements3
- 1At least 4 years of FP&A experience at an operating company, with direct ownership of a planning or reforecast cycle.
- 2Advanced proficiency in Excel modeling, along with the analytical judgment to explain variances—not just compute them.
- 3Preferred experience in finance business partnering or commercial finance, or hands-on use of planning platforms like Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, or Pigment.
Who Should Apply
You're a finance professional who thrives on the mechanics of planning and forecasting—building models from scratch, digging into driver-based assumptions, and turning complex data into clear, decision-ready reporting. You have a strong grasp of the full FP&A toolkit, from budgets to long-range plans, and you can communicate the story behind the numbers with confidence. You're comfortable working independently on defined tasks and enjoy the variety of tackling different planning scenarios.
