## Job description

We are HCSS. For the last 40 years, we have been developing software to help construction companies streamline their operations. Based in Sugar Land, TX, our mission is helping customers achieve excellence through our proven customer-centric, end-to-end solutions and exceptionally helpful service, while providing a great life for our employees. With this mission at the core of everything we do, HCSS is a pioneer and leader in the construction software space and a consistently recognized employer. We have earned Best Companies to Work for in Texas honors for 18 consecutive years and have been named a USA Today Top Workplace. HCSS has also been recognized by Built In as a Best Place to Work in Greater Houston and by Construction Executive for our technology innovation, reflecting our strong culture, industry leadership, and commitment to excellence.

## WHO WE NEED:

HCSS, a Thoma Bravo-backed construction technology leader, is seeking a Senior Analyst, Corporate FP&A to serve as an embedded finance partner to the company's most significant cost centers and a driver of strategic value across the business. This is a senior individual contributor role for a finance professional who combines strong analytical and modeling depth with the executive presence required to operate as a credible thought partner to senior business leaders. The successful candidate will be aligned to one or more of the company's largest cost domains — including Research & Development, Product & Engineering, General & Administrative functions, and Professional Services — and will serve as the financial conscience of those organizations. Beyond producing recurring analytics, the role is expected to surface strategic insight: identifying margin improvement opportunities, challenging assumptions in investment cases, and helping operational leaders make better economic decisions. This role is built for a finance professional who is energized by complex business problems, comfortable building cost and margin models from first principles, and motivated by the opportunity to influence outcomes well beyond a reporting cycle. The right candidate is analytically rigorous, intellectually curious, and confident engaging directly with senior functional leaders as a peer.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field required
- 3–5 years of progressive experience in FP&A, business finance, investment banking, management consulting, or a comparable analytical role within a SaaS or technology environment
- Demonstrated experience serving as an embedded finance partner to senior business leaders, with a track record of influencing decisions beyond producing reports
- Strong business partnering skills: ability to build credibility quickly with non-finance executives and translate financial analysis into actionable recommendations
- Hands-on financial modeling capability: comfortable building cost models, P&Ls, and allocation frameworks from inception rather than maintaining inherited templates
- Experience owning cost center budgeting and variance analysis, including headcount and compensation modeling across functional teams
- Working knowledge of SaaS unit economics, margin analysis, and operational efficiency benchmarking
- Expert-level proficiency in Excel; comfortable diagnosing and resolving formula-level errors in complex workbooks
- Working proficiency in ERP systems (NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics preferred) and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or Looker )
- Proficiency in a financial planning tool such as Workday Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, OneStream, or similar
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present financial analysis clearly to senior non-finance audiences
- Ability to work standard Central Time business hours; availability during close cycle and planning periods as needed

Preferred Qualifications:

- Prior experience in a PE-backed SaaS environment with exposure to value creation initiatives, margin improvement programs, or operational efficiency projects
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure cost economics, FinOps concepts, and cost-per-customer or cost-per-unit modeling
- Working knowledge of capitalized software accounting (ASC 350-40) and engineering capacity modeling
- Experience managing a professional services P&L, including utilization rate, services margin, and revenue recognition timing
- Familiarity with product-level or segment-level P&L construction and cost allocation methodology
- Working knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition as applied to services or multi-element arrangements

Role Responsibilities: Senior Analysts on the Corporate FP&A team are aligned to one or more of HCSS's largest cost and margin domains. Specific responsibilities will be assigned based on the candidate's background and the team's coverage needs. Common responsibilities across the role include:

- Serve as the embedded finance partner to a designated set of senior functional leaders (such as the CTO, CPO, VP of Engineering, VP of Product, VP of Professional Services, or G&A function heads), building credibility and influence over time
- Own cost center budgeting and monthly variance analysis for assigned functional areas, including headcount and compensation modeling
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve financial models supporting cost management, margin analysis, P&L performance, and resource allocation decisions
- Surface strategic insights and improvement opportunities — including margin enhancement, cost rationalization, and investment prioritization — proactively rather than reactively
- Partner with functional leaders on annual planning, headcount planning, and long-range investment cases
- Contribute cost, margin, and headcount inputs to the consolidated monthly forecast, annual operating plan, and long-range planning process
- Prepare clear, insight-driven variance commentary for internal and leadership reporting
- Coordinate with the Corporate FP&A team and the Financial Analyst on data integrity, headcount reconciliation, and close support
- Support ad hoc strategic analysis, scenario modeling, and special projects as assigned by the Senior Manager or SVP of Finance
- Depending on coverage assignment, role-specific responsibilities may include:
- Product & Technology focus: Hosting cost-per-unit and cost-per-customer modeling; gross margin by product line; infrastructure scaling models tied to ARR and usage growth; R&D headcount and compensation modeling; FinOps partnership with Engineering; capitalized software (ASC 350-40); R&D efficiency benchmarking versus SaaS peers
- G&A and Professional Services focus: Full professional services P&L ownership including revenue, utilization, cost, and gross margin; PS implementation backlog and revenue recognition timing; product-level P&L build and maintenance; G&A cost center variance for Finance, Legal, HR, and IT; G&A headcount and compensation modeling; contribution margin and cost allocation methodology support

Travel Requirements: Occasional travel to the Sugar Land, Texas (Houston metro) campus and leadership meetings may be required.
