FP&A Manager

Role Description

We are hiring an FP&A Manager to own the planning, analysis, and reporting function at Utility Revenue Services (“URS”).

You will run the FP&A function under the CFO at a fast-scaling company. The role is built for someone who wants real ownership of the function with direct exposure to the CFO and CEO.

The first two to four months focus on direct support of the monthly accounting close, giving you fast exposure to the business from the books up and providing critical accounting capacity during the onboarding period. Expect full-cycle accounting work in this phase:

• Journal entries
• Balance sheet reconciliations
• Accounts payable
• Supporting the close

The role then transitions into the full FP&A scope as accounting capacity is back-filled.

Day to day, you will:

• Financial Modeling: Own and evolve the integrated financial model. Run scenarios, stress-test assumptions, and produce the analysis behind capital allocation decisions, transaction support, and the rolling forecast.
• Reporting and Dashboards: Lead the production of monthly board materials, lender reporting packages, the covenant dashboard, and the KPI dashboard. Improve them over time.
• Transaction and Integration Analytics: Support integration analytical work for any strategic transactions: day-one readiness, synergy tracking, combined-entity reporting build, and post-close variance and run-rate analysis.
• Performance Analysis: Own service-line gross margin analysis, revenue forecast, headcount planning, and the ad-hoc analyses the CEO, CFO, and Board need to make decisions.
• Process and Tools: Identify ways to automate, simplify, and modernize our recurring workflows using AI and modern tooling. We are an AI-forward finance shop and we expect the FP&A Manager to push that further.

Qualifications

• Four to eight years of progressive FP&A experience, ideally including end-to-end ownership of a financial model.
• Strong Excel and modeling skills.
• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or related field.
• CPA, CFA, or MBA are pluses, not requirements.

Requirements

• Curiosity: You love to learn. You ask 'why' and 'what else' before settling on the easy answer.
• Tech and AI Fluency: You pick up new technology fast. You already use Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools to accelerate analytical work, automate tasks, and process unstructured data.
• Ownership Mindset: You take a workstream from blank page to final deliverable without daily check-ins.
• Operating Style: Comfortable being the only FP&A person on the team today, with the understanding that the team will scale.
• Growth Orientation: You see the role as a launchpad to Director of FP&A or Controller as URS scales.

Benefits

• Real Ownership: You will run the FP&A function, reporting directly to the CFO.
• Executive Visibility: Direct exposure to the CFO and CEO.
• Modern Stack: NetSuite ERP, modern AI tooling, IBCS-compliant reporting standards.
• Scope That Compounds: The role is positioned to grow into Director of FP&A or Controller as the company scales.
• Flexibility: Work remotely or from our Hinsdale, IL office.

How to apply:
