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
