FP&A Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Beghou brings over three decades of experience helping life sciences companies optimize their commercialization through strategic insight, advanced analytics, and technology. From developing go-to-market strategies and building foundational data analytics infrastructures to leveraging artificial intelligence to improve customer insights and engagement, Beghou helps life sciences companies maximize performance across their portfolios. Beghou also deploys proprietary and third-party technology solutions to help companies forecast performance, design territories, manage customer data, organize, and report on medical and commercial data, and more. Headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, we have 10 global offices.

Our mission is to bring together analytical minds and innovative technology to help life sciences companies navigate the complexity of health care and improve patient outcomes.

The FP&A Manager will be deeply embedded within the business, partnering with client-serving leaders, project managers, operations personnel, the sales organization, and executive leadership to translate financial and operational data into actionable insights. This role owns core FP&A processes end-to-end—budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and close—while also serving as a strategic advisor who enables better, faster, and more informed decisions that improve profitability, optimize resource allocation, and drive sustainable growth. 

This role is expected to operate with an independent point of view—validating assumptions, pressure-testing forecasts, and identifying risks and opportunities ahead of the business. Success requires strong financial modeling skills, a clear understanding of business drivers, and the ability to engage senior leaders with credible, data-driven perspectives. 

This is a hybrid position for candidates based in the Chicagoland area. 

We'll trust you to:

Business Partnering & Strategic Finance 

• Partner with business leaders on pricing, resource allocation, growth investments, and client economics 

• Own the connection between operational activity and financial outcomes; develop and communicate a clear point of view on performance drivers and forward outlook 

• Build and maintain the analytical foundation for understanding business dynamics (e.g., margin composition, revenue mix, utilization economics, pipeline quality, client-level profitability) 

• Evaluate pipeline quality and revenue forecasts; challenge assumptions and develop independent views where needed 

• Develop scenario models to support strategic decisions around new service lines, capacity investments, pricing changes, and organizational design 

• Support board and investor materials; contribute to a clear, credible financial narrative and growth story 

• Identify leading indicators and emerging risks; establish feedback loops that improve forecasting accuracy and decision-making discipline 

Core FP&A 

• Participate in the annual budgeting and multi-year planning process; coordinate inputs across business units, consolidate, and present to leadership 

• Assist with monthly, quarterly, and rolling forecasts; maintain models that reflect current business conditions and emerging trends 

• Manage the monthly close process in partnership with accounting; review actuals, ensure accuracy, and prepare management reporting packages 

• Produce and distribute recurring financial reports (P&L, headcount, utilization, pipeline); evolve reporting to meet business needs 

• Build and maintain financial models, dashboards, and KPI frameworks that provide real-time visibility into business performance 

• Perform detailed variance analysis (actual vs. budget vs. prior year); document explanations and communicate findings to stakeholders 

• Support month-end and year-end close activities including accruals, full-year reforecasting, and audit support 

• Maintain and improve financial data integrity, planning tools, and reporting infrastructure; serve as a power user of FP&A platforms 

These Core Responsibilities are not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice.

 

You'll need to have:

• 5–8 years in FP&A, finance business partnering, investment banking, or management consulting 

• Demonstrated ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting processes 

• Strong financial modeling skills and advanced Excel; experience with FP&A platforms (Planful, Adaptive, Anaplan) a plus 

• Experience with ERP and BI tools (e.g., NetSuite, Workday, Tableau, Power BI) preferred 

• Comfortable presenting to and challenging senior leaders 

• Professional services or PE-backed company experience preferred 

• MBA preferred but not required 

The wage range for this role takes into account the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including, but not limited to, skill sets; experience and training; licensure and certifications; and other business and organizational needs. At Beghou, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role, and compensation decisions depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. A reasonable estimate of the current range is $130,000 to $160,000.

 

We are currently unable to consider candidates who require, or will require in the future, sponsorship for work authorization . Applicants must be authorized to work in the US on a permanent and ongoing basis without the need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.

At Beghou, you'll join a highly collaborative, values-driven team where technical excellence, analytical rigor, and personal growth converge. Whether you're passionate about AI innovation, building commercialization strategies, or shaping the next generation of data-first solutions in life sciences, this is a place to make an impact!
