Senior FP&A Analyst

Job description

## **About Us:** Monarch is a powerful, all-in-one personal finance platform designed to help make the complexity of finances feel simple again. Since launching in 2021, we've become the top-recommended personal finance app by users and experts. Our goal? To take the stress out of finances so our members can focus on what truly matters. We are a team of do-ers led by experienced entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping our members reach their financial goals. We're hyper focused on building a product people love, and on finding every edge that helps us do that better. AI is core to how we operate: every person on the team uses it as a partner to sharpen judgment, move faster, and expand what's possible. We're not looking for tool mastery, we're looking for fluency and curiosity. What matters is that AI is part of how you work today and that you're actively raising your own bar on how to use it well. As a fully remote company (even before COVID!), we welcome applicants from almost anywhere. Our team collaborates synchronously mostly from 9 AM – 2 PM PT and embraces asynchronous work to stay connected across time zones. Join us on our mission to transform lives by **simplifying money, together.** ## **The Role:** Monarch Money is seeking a Senior FP&A Analyst to support scaling our finance function. Reporting to the Head of FP&A, you'll be central to the planning cadence the whole company runs on — supporting the annual budget and quarterly re-forecast, maintaining our core operating model, and partnering with Accounting on monthly reporting and variance analysis. This role blends analytical depth with real business partnership. You'll own departmental financial alignment across Growth, Product, Engineering, People, and CS, making sure every team is operating against a plan they understand and are accountable to.

Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling. - You've had the harder conversation. You've sat with a non-finance leader whose spend diverged from plan and worked it through, rather than escalating it - You make complex things simple. Financial concepts land with people who don't have a finance background - You'd rather flag a surprise early than present a polished answer late - You're comfortable when the process doesn't exist yet and would rather build it than wait for it ## **Nice to** **Have's**: - Experience in a subscription, SaaS, or fintech business - SQL and familiarity with BI tooling (Omni, Looker, or equivalent) - Experience with a modern ERP (Rillet, NetSuite) or planning tool (Aleph, Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive) - Experience with procurement or spend management tooling (Zip, Coupa, Airbase, Navan) - Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field ## **Typical Process (May vary depending on role):** - Recruiter Video Call - Hiring Manager Video Call - Take Home Case Study + Walkthrough - Virtual Onsite Round - Reference Checks - Offer! ## **Benefits :** - Work wherever you want!
