The FP&A Manager will be deeply embedded within the business, partnering with client-serving leaders, project managers, operations personnel, the sales organization, and executive leadership to translate financial and operational data into actionable insights. This role owns core FP&A processes end-to-end—budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and close—while also serving as a strategic advisor who enables better, faster, and more informed decisions that improve profitability, optimize resource allocation, and drive sustainable growth.

This role is expected to operate with an independent point of view—validating assumptions, pressure-testing forecasts, and identifying risks and opportunities ahead of the business. Success requires strong financial modeling skills, a clear understanding of business drivers, and the ability to engage senior leaders with credible, data-driven perspectives.

This is a hybrid position for candidates based in the Chicagoland area.

• Partner with business leaders on pricing, resource allocation, growth investments, and client economics
• Own the connection between operational activity and financial outcomes; develop and communicate a clear point of view on performance drivers and forward outlook
• Build and maintain the analytical foundation for understanding business dynamics (e.g., margin composition, revenue mix, utilization economics, pipeline quality, client-level profitability)
• Evaluate pipeline quality and revenue forecasts; challenge assumptions and develop independent views where needed
• Develop scenario models to support strategic decisions around new service lines, capacity investments, pricing changes, and organizational design
• Support board and investor materials; contribute to a clear, credible financial narrative and growth story
• Identify leading indicators and emerging risks; establish feedback loops that improve forecasting accuracy and decision-making discipline

• Participate in the annual budgeting and multi-year planning process; coordinate inputs across business units, consolidate, and present to leadership
• Assist with monthly, quarterly, and rolling forecasts; maintain models that reflect current business conditions and emerging trends
• Manage the monthly close process in partnership with accounting; review actuals, ensure accuracy, and prepare management reporting packages
• Produce and distribute recurring financial reports (P&L, headcount, utilization, pipeline); evolve reporting to meet business needs
• Build and maintain financial models, dashboards, and KPI frameworks that provide real-time visibility into business performance
• Perform detailed variance analysis (actual vs. budget vs. prior year); document explanations and communicate findings to stakeholders
• Support month‑end and year‑end close activities including accruals, full‑year reforecasting, and audit support
• Maintain and improve financial data integrity, planning tools, and reporting infrastructure; serve as a power user of FP&A platforms
