FP&A Analyst

About the role

Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM) is a profitable, growing SaaS and technology company driving innovation across the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected property markets. We are seeking an FP&A Analyst to join our Financial Planning & Analysis team with a primary focus on supporting Alarm.com’s Commercial portfolio, one of the company’s high-growth markets, as well as several of our emerging businesses and subsidiaries. This role provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the full spectrum of FP&A while working directly with business leaders and senior leadership across Alarm.com and its subsidiaries. The FP&A Analyst will serve as a financial business partner, helping leaders understand performance, evaluate investments, manage resources, and make informed strategic decisions.

Unlike a role focused exclusively on budgeting or reporting, this position offers exposure to full-stack FP&A, including commission planning, deal desk and pricing support, capital and investment management, the monthly close and forecasting cycle, annual planning, and long-term strategic planning.

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, analytical, commercially minded, and comfortable developing relationships outside of Finance. This position will report to the Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis and work closely with members of the FP&A team, subsidiary leadership teams, and senior management across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Serve as an FP&A business partner supporting Alarm.com’s Commercial portfolio and select emerging businesses and subsidiaries.
• Develop a strong understanding of the underlying business, including revenue drivers, customer economics, operating costs, headcount, investments, and key performance indicators.
• Support the monthly close and forecasting cycle by analyzing financial results, identifying key drivers of performance, explaining budget and forecast variances, and updating financial outlooks.
• Build and maintain financial models supporting revenue, operating expenses, headcount, capital investments, commissions, and other key business drivers.
• Partner directly with business and subsidiary leadership to develop annual operating plans, forecasts, and long-term strategic plans.
• Support deal desk and commercial decision-making, including pricing analysis, customer economics, profitability, investment requirements, and financial tradeoffs associated with strategic opportunities.
• Assist in the development, modeling, and administration of sales commission plans and incentive programs, including evaluating performance against established targets.
• Support capital planning and investment analysis, including business cases, ROI assessments, prioritization of investments, and ongoing tracking of financial performance.
• Analyze business trends and operational KPIs to identify risks, opportunities, and areas requiring additional management attention.
• Translate financial and operational data into clear insights and actionable recommendations for business leaders and senior management.
• Partner closely with Accounting during the monthly close process to ensure financial results are accurately reflected and understood.
• Assist with strategic and ad hoc analysis across the Commercial portfolio and emerging businesses as priorities evolve.
• Continuously improve financial models, reporting, processes, and analytical tools used by FP&A and its business partners.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related quantitative discipline.
• 2+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, investment banking, consulting, or another analytical role with highly transferable experience.
• Strong understanding of financial statements, accounting concepts, and corporate finance fundamentals.
• Experience with financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and KPI analysis.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to efficiently analyze and organize large datasets.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to define problems, identify relevant data, develop conclusions, and translate analysis into actionable recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain financial concepts to both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, operate independently, and take ownership of projects from analysis through recommendation.

You will likely be a successful candidate if:

• You are naturally curious about how businesses operate and want to understand the drivers behind the financial results rather than simply report the numbers.
• You enjoy working directly with business leaders and are comfortable developing relationships across different functions and levels of an organization.
• You want exposure to the full FP&A lifecycle rather than specializing in only one area of corporate finance.
• You are comfortable moving between detailed financial analysis and broader strategic business questions.
• You have strong judgment and can identify when something in the numbers does not make sense and proactively investigate it.
• You are a team player who is willing to step outside of a narrowly defined scope when the business needs support.
• You have experience with SaaS, recurring revenue, subscription-based businesses, or a strong desire to learn these business models.
• You are detail-oriented while maintaining an understanding of the broader business and strategic objectives.
• You are motivated by the opportunity to develop into a trusted financial partner to business and subsidiary leadership.
