## About the Business Finance Team

Business Finance helps Thumbtack make sound financial decisions and put resources where they move company goals. We partner with teams across the business to understand performance, evaluate investments and connect day-to-day decisions to financial outcomes. We work closely with Business Analytics and Corporate FP&A to turn business drivers into forecasts and practical recommendations. Our work helps teams invest in the people, products and technology that let millions of people care for their homes.

## About the role

As a Senior Financial Analyst, you’ll give Product, Engineering and Design partners the financial analysis they need to plan, manage budgets and make investment decisions. You’ll report to the Senior Director of Business Finance and own recurring planning and analysis work, including headcount tracking, expense forecasting and evaluating resource trade-offs. You’ll also assess technology and infrastructure spending, including the cost of AI-powered product experiences, and help partners understand what changes in how teams work mean financially. You’ll take questions from first scoping through analysis to recommendation. You’ll work independently and draw on your manager’s guidance for more complex decisions.

## What you’ll do

- Own budget tracking and expense forecasts for assigned teams. Partner with Corporate FP&A and business stakeholders to explain variances, flag risks and opportunities, and keep plans current.
- Track open roles, hiring assumptions and headcount allocations across teams. Model proposed changes to see what they cost and whether they fit within existing budgets.
- Build financial models and scenario analyses to evaluate investment requests, resource allocation and changes to team structures, with clear assumptions and practical recommendations.
- Analyze technology, infrastructure and AI usage costs, including communications platforms (e.g. Twilio) and AI token spend, to understand what drives spending and find ways to improve efficiency and allocation.
- Partner with Product, Engineering, Design and Business Analytics to gather inputs, connect operational metrics to financial outcomes and assess the financial impact of business initiatives.
- Turn analyses into clear business reviews and recommendations, surface issues early, and improve planning processes and reporting as you learn the business.

In order to be successful, you must bring

- 3+ years of experience in corporate FP&A, business finance or a similar finance business-partnering role.
- Experience analyzing budgets, tracking expenses or headcount, and building forecasts that connect business assumptions to financial outcomes.
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills in Excel or Google Sheets, with attention to accuracy and clearly documented assumptions.
- The ability to structure moderately ambiguous questions, spot missing information, and gather inputs from data and stakeholders on your own to reach a well-reasoned answer.
- Sound judgment on costs, benefits and near-term trade-offs, including knowing when to seek guidance or escalate a risk.
- The ability to explain financial drivers and recommendations clearly to non-finance partners, in writing and in person.
- A track record of building collaborative relationships, following through on commitments, and finding ways to improve business outcomes or team processes.

Expected salary ranges

- For candidates living in Ontario and British Columbia, the expected salary range for the role is currently $101,200.00 - $130,900.00.
