Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A)

Location: Minneapolis (Hybrid)
Compensation: $250K base + 25% annual bonus

Overview

We are seeking a Vice President of FP&A to serve as a key finance partner to the CFO and executive leadership team at a private‑equity‑backed software company. This role will oversee enterprise‑wide financial planning, forecasting, and analytics, with a strong emphasis on revenue forecasting, go‑to‑market performance, and executive‑level decision support during an active transaction environment.

The successful candidate will inherit a capable, tenured FP&A team and play a central role in shaping the company’s financial strategy, reporting rigor, and long‑term growth plans.

Why This Role

  • High‑visibility position reporting directly to the CFO
  • Meaningful impact on strategy, forecasting, and transaction execution
  • Opportunity to step into a true VP‑level scope with long‑term leadership upside
  • Strong, established team already in place
  • Hybrid work environment based in the Twin Cities

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead enterprise‑wide financial planning, forecasting, and long‑range strategic modeling
  • Own revenue, pipeline, and sales forecasting, partnering closely with Sales, RevOps, and GTM leadership
  • Oversee internal and external financial reporting in partnership with Accounting
  • Support transaction‑related activities, including diligence, integration planning, and sponsor reporting
  • Serve as a trusted finance partner to the CFO, executive leadership team, and Board
  • Manage and develop a high‑performing FP&A organization, including directors and managers
  • Drive continuous improvement in forecast accuracy, financial insight, and reporting efficiency
  • Leverage financial systems and BI tools to enhance visibility into performance and operational drivers

Ideal Background & Experience

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in FP&A or strategic finance, with leadership at the Director or VP level
  • Prior experience in software or SaaS environments; private‑equity‑backed experience strongly preferred
  • Exposure to transactions (M&A, refinancing, or PE sponsor activity)
  • Experience with modern FP&A and financial systems including:
    • NetSuite or similar ERP
    • Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, OneStream, or comparable planning tools
    • Salesforce and GTM data environments
    • Business intelligence and reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, SQL‑enabled platforms)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required
  • MBA and/or CPA strongly preferred
