• Build, maintain, and improve financial models (P&L, SaaS metrics, cohort analysis, unit economics, scenarios)
• Analyze revenue trends, operating expenses, and key SaaS KPIs (e.g., ARR, retention, LTV/CAC) and translate findings into actionable insights
• Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting packages, including variance analysis versus budget, forecast, and prior periods
• Partner cross-functionally with teams such as Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations, and Product on financial questions and investment decisions
• Support the development and maintenance of dashboards and reporting across Excel/Sheets, ERP, CRM, and FP&A tools
• Assist with ad hoc analysis and special projects related to pricing, new initiatives, resource allocation, and scenario planning
