Job Summary:
As Manager, Finance Business Partner, you will work closely with an operations-focused team to translate strategy into operating plans, budgets, forecasts, and informed business decisions. You will connect customer demand and organizational capacity to unit economics, strengthen forecast accuracy, and help leaders balance service commitments, profitability, and customer outcomes.
We are looking for an analytical, business-minded finance leader who is equally comfortable building models, developing dashboards, and advising senior stakeholders. The successful candidate will turn financial and operational variances into clear insights, recommend practical actions, and help business partners strengthen their own financial decision-making.
The Gig:
- You will lead the annual operating plan, forecasts, and monthly outlooks for your partnered function and translate roadmap and operating plans into financial targets and guardrails.
- You will build driver-based models that link customer demand and staffing capacity to better manage and improve COGS, Gross Margin, EBITDA, and cash.
- You will establish and maintain a consistent set of KPIs for your partnered function, with clear definitions, ownership, data sources, and links to financial outcomes.
- You will run scenario and sensitivity analyses on hiring plans, shift and coverage models, vendor leverage, feature prioritization, and FinOps levers
- Serve as trusted advisor to leaders in assigned functions and convert strategy into financial and operational plans.
- Own the planning cadence (including Plan, Forecasts, QBRs) and produce executive-ready financial analysis and recommendations for your area of responsibility.
- Build and maintain driver-based models and unit-cost frameworks tied to margin and SLA goals.
- Guide headcount governance and capacity planning (hiring phasing, overtime guardrails, vendor mix).
- Create and enforce business case standards (NPV/IRR, payback, risk) and track realized benefits.
- Develop decision-ready dashboards using Power BI, Amazon QuickSight, and Excel; streamline or retire low-value reporting and reduce manual effort through improved processes and automation.
- Coordinate with Corporate FP&A (enterprise model, KPI dictionary, data policy) and GTM Finance (pipeline plan) to keep numbers and narratives consistent.
- Coach analysts and leaders to uphold modeling standards, documentation, and version control.
What you need to make the cut:
- 6–8 years of experience in FP&A/Finance with 2–3+ years directly supporting Executive leadership.
- Demonstrated driver-based forecasting and scenario planning across capacity, utilization, reliability, and unit economics.
- Strong command of service-ops metrics and/or FinOps/cloud cost concepts.
- Tools: Excel, EPM (Adaptive/Anaplan), BI (Power BI/Tableau); SQL familiarity a plus.
- Clear communicator who can influence without authority and simplify complex trade-offs.
- Bachelor’s in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or related field; MBA/CPA/CFA a plus.
The pay range for this position is 79K to 120K per year (pay to be determined by the applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data).
This role is eligible to participate in the annual bonus incentive plan.

Dear Applicant.
At Businessolver, we take our responsibility to protect our clients, employees, and company seriously and that begins with the hiring process.
Our approach is thoughtful and thorough. We’ve built a multi-layered screening process designed to identify top talent and ensure the integrity of every hire. This includes quickly filtering out individuals who may attempt to misrepresent themselves or act in bad faith. We also partner with trusted, best-in-class providers to conduct background checks, verify identities, and confirm references. These steps aren’t just about compliance, they’re about ensuring fairness, safety, and trust for everyone involved.
Put simply: we will always confirm that you are who you say you are. It's just one of the many ways we uphold the standards that matter most, to you, to us, and to the people we serve.
Along the same lines, please be aware of recruitment scams. Businessolver does not make job offers outside of our official hiring process or request payment or sensitive personal information. You will never receive an offer of employment without meeting a hiring authority and having a "live" and face-to-face conversation.
