Position: VP, Financial Planning & Analysis-High Impact Leadership Role!

We are partnering with a leading financial services organization who is seeking an exceptional highly quantitative Vice President, FP&A to lead the evolution of its enterprise forecasting and financial planning capabilities.

$275K-$360K (base + bonus + equity)

This is not a traditional FP&A leadership role focused on maintaining existing models. It is an opportunity for a builder—someone who challenges assumptions, embraces complexity, and develops scalable forecasting capabilities that integrate multiple financial drivers into a comprehensive view of enterprise performance.

What You’ll Do

As Vice President, FP&A, you will lead the strategy, development, governance, and continuous enhancement of the organization's enterprise forecasting framework.

  • Lead the development, enhancement, and oversight of enterprise financial planning and forecasting models.
  • Integrate financial information from multiple business functions into a comprehensive enterprise financial plan.
  • Develop sophisticated forecasting methodologies that capture complex business drivers and changing market conditions.
  • Establish strong model governance, documentation, controls, and forecasting consistency across planning cycles.
  • Lead analysis of actual versus forecasted financial performance and identify key drivers of results.
  • Perform scenario modeling and attribution analysis to explain changes in financial outlook and business performance.
  • Assess the impact of strategic initiatives, market conditions, investment activity, funding costs, and other key financial variables on projected results.
  • Translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insights for senior leadership.
  • Support enterprise decision-making through rigorous financial analysis, forecasting, and scenario planning.
  • Partner closely with finance, accounting, treasury, investments, operations, and other business leaders to improve forecasting accuracy and business insights.
  • Identify opportunities to strengthen forecasting processes, data quality, reporting, and analytical capabilities.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high‑performing team while fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate combines exceptional analytical ability with strategic thinking, intellectual curiosity, and a bias for action. They enjoy tackling difficult problems, challenging conventional thinking, and building scalable solutions that improve business performance.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Actuarial Science, or another quantitative discipline.
  • Advanced credentials such as an MBA, CFA, CPA, ASA, FSA, or other relevant professional designation are preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in FP&A/corporate finance, investment analysis, actuarial, consulting, financial services, or another analytically rigorous environment.
  • At least five years of leadership experience managing and developing high-performing teams.
  • Strong financial modeling, forecasting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience working with complex financial models and large, integrated data sets.
  • Outstanding communication skills with the ability to influence senior executives and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Demonstrated success leading through ambiguity and driving continuous improvement in fast-paced, high-performance environments.
Why This Opportunity

The successful candidate will have the autonomy to build, improve, and modernize enterprise forecasting capabilities while leading a talented team and making a meaningful impact on organizational strategy.

If you are a highly quantitative finance leader who enjoys solving complex problems, building innovative analytical solutions, and partnering with executive leadership to drive business performance, we welcome the opportunity for a confidential conversation.
