Job Description

FP&A; Executive | Finance

n

ROLE OVERVIEW

n

Saras Analytics is looking for an FP&A; Executive to own the planning, forecasting, and performance-analysis

n

engine for our SaaS business. This is a numbers-and-narrative role: you will build and maintain the models

n

behind our revenue and cost plans, explain what moved and why, and turn that into crisp reporting for

n

management and board reviews. Strong Excel, Power BI, and PowerPoint skills are the tools of the trade .

n

the core expectation is comfort with SaaS financials and metrics, and the judgement to translate them into

n

decisions.

n

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

n

• Build and maintain the AOP, budgets, and rolling forecasts, including the ARR/MRR revenue build and

n

headcount and cost models.

n

• Run monthly budget-vs-actual and forecast variance analysis, with explicit written commentary on what

n

moved and why.

n

n
- Track and explain core SaaS metrics — ARR, MRR, churn, NRR, CAC, LTV, and pipeline conversion.
n
- Own the management reporting pack and board decks, including dashboards, executive summaries, and
n

n

one-pagers.

n

• Partner with Sales, Customer Success, and Product to keep numbers consistent across CRM, billing, and

n

finance systems, automating recurring reports along the way.

n

MUST-HAVE SKILLS

n

• SaaS metrics — working knowledge. Able to compute, report, and explain ARR/MRR, churn, NRR, CAC,

n

LTV, and pipeline conversion, and speak to what drove a change.

n

• Sound understanding of financials. P&L;,



cash flow, and revenue recognition fundamentals; able to tie

n

operational metrics back to the financial statements.

n

• Advanced Excel. Financial modelling, pivots, Power Query, lookup and array formulas, and clean

n

auditable model structure.

n

• Power BI and PowerPoint. Data modelling and DAX for dashboards; decks that lead with a point of view

n

rather than a wall of charts.

n

• Analytical rigour. Numbers tie, assumptions are stated, and errors get caught before they reach the

n

board pack.

n

GOOD TO HAVE

n

n
- You have worked in a SaaS or subscription business before and know how the revenue actually flows.
n
- You can pull your own data — SQL, a data warehouse, or raw billing and product-usage files.
