- Analyze performance drivers, variances, and trends with a focus on EBITDA, cash flow, and scalability 
- Develop dashboards and reporting to monitor financial and operational KPIs aligned with PE objectives 

 

SaaS & Multi-Family Industry Economics 

- Partner with Product, Sales, and Revenue Operations on pricing, packaging, and monetization strategies 
- Evaluate customer segmentation, retention, and lifetime value across multi-family housing portfolios 
- Support deal structuring, contract analysis, and revenue recognition considerations 
- Incorporate industry-specific dynamics such as unit-based pricing models, property counts, seasonality, and regulatory considerations 

 

Operational Excellence & Value Creation 

- Drive financial rigor, accountability, and scalable processes across the business unit 
- Partner closely with accounting on close processes, accruals, and financial accuracy 
- Support M&A activity, integrations, and post-acquisition performance tracking as applicable 
- Identify and execute opportunities for margin expansion, cost efficiency, and operational leverage 

 

Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration 

- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations and Accounting 
- Influence effectively in a fast-paced, results-oriented PE-backed environment 

 

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; 
- 5+ years of progressive finance experience, including strategic FP&A and business partnership roles 
- 2+ years of experience in SaaS or recurring-revenue business models 
- Proven ability to support senior executives and influence business strategy 
- Deep understanding of SaaS metrics and unit economics 
- Advanced financial modeling, forecasting, and analytical skills
