FP&A Manager, Systems & Financial Planning

STARLIMS Corporation is a private equity-backed, high-growth technology company scaling its financial planning and reporting infrastructure to support the next phase of growth. We are hiring an FP&A Manager to own financial planning, reporting, and systems architecture for the business, with a particular focus on managing and scaling our Workday Adaptive Planning environment. This role sits at the intersection of financial analysis and systems ownership — ideal for a finance professional who has led an Adaptive implementation (or owns one today) and wants to bring that expertise to a metrics-driven, PE-backed business. You'll partner directly with the C-suite and cross-functional leaders on budgeting, forecasting, and board/investor reporting, while serving as the internal expert on our financial planning tech stack. Responsibilities: Systems Ownership & Architecture Own and administer the Workday Adaptive Planning environment, including model structure, data integrations, and ongoing system maintenance. Manage all data flows into and out of Adaptive, ensuring accuracy and integrity across connected systems (ERP, CRM, data warehouse). Build and maintain automated, consolidated financial reporting files that refresh reliably for monthly SLT, Board, and investor review. Continuously evaluate and scale the planning tool as the business grows — new modules, workflows, and integrations. Financial Planning & Analysis: Manage expense budgeting and full P&L reporting across the business, partnering with executive leadership to forecast bookings, revenue, labor, and EBITDA performance. Drive ACV and ARR-based forecasting and performance analysis — evaluating bookings, expansion, churn, and net revenue retention to inform growth strategy. Deliver monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasts and variance analysis to senior leadership. Support the annual operating planning process end-to-end. Business Partnership: Serve as a trusted financial advisor to department and functional leaders, translating financial data into clear, actionable narratives. Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and improve the speed and accuracy of financial analysis, including leveraging AI/automation tools where applicable. Present financial results and insights directly to executive leadership. What Success Looks Like: In your first 0–6 months, success looks like: We are leveraging a 3rd party to assist with the Workday Adaptive Planning environment with clean data flows from SFDC and Netsuite and documented processes. Monthly, quarterly, and Board/investor reporting packages are produced on an automated, reliable cadence the CFO and executive team trust. ACV/ARR, bookings, churn, and NRR forecasting is integrated into the planning model and actively used to inform growth strategy discussions. Functional leaders across the business view you as a go-to financial partner, not just a reporting function. Requirements: Required 3–5+ years of progressive FP&A experience, ideally within a SaaS, subscription, or PE-backed business. Direct, hands-on experience implementing and/or administering Workday Adaptive Planning — this is a must-have, not a nice-to-have; candidates should be able to speak to model design, system data flows, and ongoing ownership, not just report consumption. Demonstrated experience with ACV/ARR/SaaS metrics (bookings, churn, NRR, expansion revenue) and full P&L or expense-vertical ownership. Track record of building scalable reporting infrastructure — e.g., consolidating multi-entity financials into automated, board-ready reporting packages. Strong financial modeling and forecasting skills; comfort working directly with C-suite stakeholders. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required. Self-starter mindset with a bias toward automation, process improvement, and continuous learning. Preferred Advanced certifications (e.g., HBS Finance & Accounting certificate) a plus. Experience with additional financial systems (e.g., OfficeConnect, NetSuite, Salesforce) and BI/visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau). Prior progression through a structured financial development or rotational program. Experience navigating a fast-growth or PE-backed environment. STARLIMS is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
