- Analyze Paymode-specific business drivers, including transaction volume, payment volume, customer adoption, revenue yield, pricing, implementation timing, customer profitability, and margin trends.
- Partner with business leaders to deliver financial insights that drive profitable growth and operational efficiency.
- Build and maintain complex financial models supporting revenue, expenses, investments, and strategic initiatives.
- Develop decision-support analyses, including ROI analyses, business cases, scenario planning, sensitivity analyses, pricing strategies, and trade-off recommendations to support product investments, customer initiatives, and strategic decisions.
- Monitor business performance through monthly close, forecast reviews, QBRs, leadership business reviews, KPI dashboards, variance analysis, and board or PE reporting as needed; identify trends, risks, and opportunities and provide actionable recommendations to leadership.
- Translate large amounts of data into clear, concise financial narratives for executive stakeholders.
- Drive continuous improvement in reporting, forecasting accuracy, planning processes, and financial discipline.
- Partner closely with Product, Sales, Customer Success, Operations, Accounting, BI/Data, and broader Finance teams to connect financial performance to key business priorities and execution.
- Successfully manage multiple high-priority deliverables while maintaining attention to detail and meeting deadlines.

Required Technical Skills and Competencies:

- Demonstrated success partnering with senior business leaders and influencing decision-making.
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, with strong forecasting, budgeting, analytical, and decision-support capabilities.
- Experience developing executive-ready PowerPoint materials and financial narratives for senior leadership, board, or private equity audiences.
- Ability to partner effectively with Accounting on actuals review, accruals, variance explanations, and forecast accuracy.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.
- Proven ability to manage multiple competing priorities with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
- Self-motivated "go-getter" mindset with a bias toward action.

Preferred Skills:

- Experience supporting recurring revenue, SaaS, fintech, payments, or technology businesses with exposure to revenue, volume, retention, pricing, and margin drivers strongly preferred.
- Experience with BI, planning, or ERP tools preferred.
- Prior experience working in a private equity-backed organization preferred.

Education & Experience:

- 5–7+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, strategic finance, or related roles, with experience supporting SaaS, fintech, payments, or recurring revenue businesses preferred.
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
- MBA, CPA, CFA, or other relevant advanced degree or certification preferred, but not required.
