Senior FP&A Analyst

Role Description

We are hiring a Senior FP&A Analyst to serve as the analytical backbone of the finance function at Tradeify. Reporting to the CFO/COO, you will partner with senior leadership to drive budgeting, forecasting, unit economics, and strategic reporting across the business.

This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to the executive team. You will own the financial models that guide capital allocation, pricing, vendor strategy, and growth investment decisions. You will also play a central role in preparing materials for the board and the C-suite, translating operational data into clear, actionable insights.

This role is ideal for a finance professional who wants to operate with real ownership in a high-growth fintech, works well with ambiguity, and is excited by the complexity of a prop trading business model.

  • Partner with department heads to build bottoms-up budgets and maintain accountability against plan.
  • Build and maintain a driver-based operating model that links headcount, marketing spend, trader volume, and payouts to financial outcomes.
  • Run monthly budget vs actual reviews, surface variances, and identify corrective actions.
• Bonus and Compensation Planning
  • Partner with the CFO/COO and the People team to design, model, and maintain company-wide bonus and incentive plans.
  • Build the financial modeling that underpins bonus pool sizing, payout mechanics, and company performance targets.
  • Support the design of commission and variable compensation structures for revenue-generating roles.
  • Track accruals and provide quarterly visibility into expected payouts against plan.
  • Benchmark compensation costs against company performance and industry norms to inform executive decisions.
• Strategic and Board Reporting
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting packages for the CFO/COO, CEO, and the board.
  • Translate financial data into clear narratives, KPIs, and executive dashboards.
  • Support fundraising, strategic planning, and corporate development activities with financial analysis and scenario modeling.
  • Build and maintain the company scorecard, tracking performance across growth, profitability, and operational KPIs.
• Unit Economics and Trader LTV/CAC
  • Build and continuously refine the unit economics model across the Tradeify trader lifecycle, including CAC, LTV, payback period, and contribution margin.
  • Partner with marketing and product to evaluate acquisition channel performance and inform paid media investment decisions.
  • Analyze cohort performance and retention trends across evaluation and funded account products.
  • Provide the analytical foundation for pricing, promotions, and product packaging decisions.
• Revenue and Payout Modeling
  • Own revenue forecasting across the Tradeify product suite, including evaluation accounts, funded accounts, and new products.
  • Build and maintain the trader payout model, stress-testing assumptions and quantifying risk exposure under different market scenarios.
  • Partner with risk, product, and trading operations to understand the drivers of gross profit and translate operational changes into financial impact.
  • Identify opportunities to improve margin through pricing, product design, or payout structure.
• Vendor and Cost Management
  • Own vendor and cost tracking across the business, including clearing, data, technology, and contractor spend.
  • Partner with department heads to evaluate vendor contracts, usage, and renewal decisions.
  • Surface opportunities to consolidate spend, renegotiate terms, or improve unit cost efficiency as we scale.
  • Maintain visibility into contractor and headcount spend in partnership with the People team.
• Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Act as a finance business partner to Marketing, Product, People, and Operations leaders.
  • Bring financial rigor to operational decisions without slowing down execution.
  • Help build finance systems, processes, and tooling that scale with the business.

Qualifications

• Proven track record building and owning complex financial models from scratch.
• Strong command of budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and scenario modeling.
• Experience with unit economics, LTV/CAC analysis, and cohort analytics.
