Financial Planning & Analysis Manager

6‑Week Contract | Fully Remote (PST) | Offering $45-$65/hr with benefits

About the Role

We are seeking an interim FP&A Manager to support a private‑equity‑backed SaaS company during a critical planning and forecasting period. This is a short‑term, individual‑contributor role (approximately 6 weeks, with potential extension) focused on owning and administering Oracle PBCS, ensuring data integrity, and delivering accurate consolidated financial reporting.

This role is ideal for a senior FP&A professional who has served as the primary Oracle PBCS administrator in a SaaS environment and can step in quickly with minimal ramp‑up.

Key Responsibilities

• Own consolidated P&L reporting, including entity‑level rollups across Sales, Marketing, Engineering, G&A, and other business units
• Build, review, and validate Cash Flow and Balance Sheet models derived from the P&L
• Perform budget vs. actual (BVA) and variance analysis, partnering with functional FP&A leads to roll up commentary
• Support frequent reforecasting and planning cycles; pull and validate data daily or as inputs are updated
• Develop monthly management reporting and ad hoc financial analyses

• Serve as the primary finance owner and administrator of Oracle Planning & Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS)
• Manage and audit data integrations, ensuring accuracy of data flowing into and out of PBCS
• Troubleshoot system issues, partnering closely with IT while owning finance‑side resolution
• Maintain system integrity, including metadata, consolidation logic, allocation rules, and user access
• Identify and resolve discrepancies (e.g., intercompany imbalances, cash inconsistencies, entity‑level variances)
• Support FP&A users with SmartView and system‑related questions

• Analyze and report on SaaS metrics, including ARR, MRR, deferred revenue, CAC, LTV, and payback periods
• Separate and analyze recurring vs. non‑recurring/services revenue
• Prepare investor‑ and lender‑facing reporting, including custom management views beyond GAAP
• Support private‑equity reporting requirements with a high degree of accuracy and urgency

• Provide quality control and audit oversight for financial data across systems (ERP, PBCS, Excel, BI tools)
• Perform root‑cause analysis on data issues and ensure clean, reliable outputs for leadership and stakeholders

Required Qualifications (Must‑Have)

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field
• 3–7+ years of FP&A experience, preferably at the Manager or senior IC level
• Hands‑on experience administering Oracle PBCS (not just using it for reporting or data entry)
• Proven experience with multi‑entity consolidations and full financial statements (P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet)
• SaaS industry experience required, with strong understanding of subscription revenue models and ASC 606
• Advanced Excel skills (complex models, variance analysis, contribution margin analysis)
• Ability to step into a fast‑paced environment and deliver immediate impact

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA, CMA, and/or MBA
• Experience in a private‑equity‑backed or investor‑driven environment
• SmartView expertise
• Experience with lender or board‑level reporting
• Familiarity with Power BI or similar data visualization tools

Additional Details

• Role Type: Interim / Contract (approx. 6 weeks; extension possible)
• Schedule: Fully remote; PST‑aligned working hours preferred
• Role Structure: Individual contributor; no people management
• Business Context: FP&A team supporting a $600M revenue SaaS organization; team currently stretched due to open roles

This role requires prior experience administering and owning Oracle PBCS for Finance. Candidates whose experience is limited to report consumption or data entry within PBCS are unlikely to be successful in this role.
