FP&A Manager

Position: FP&A Manager

Reports to: FP&A Manager of CX in US

A quick snapshot…

As an FP&A Manager at Conga youll support the maintenance of our corporate financial model inputs, monthly financial close processes, reporting, and analytics needs, and then some. Youll develop relationships across the Customer Excellence organization to enhance and improve the accuracy and understanding of budgets, forecasts, and analyses.

Why its a big deal…

At Conga, our Finance team is essential to our success. You’ll be part of the critical support for our operational management team, executive leadership team, and board of directors.

Are you the person we’re looking for?

Related experience. You’ve walked the walk for 4 or more years in FP&A, corporate strategy, or related fields. You have specific history in supporting and working with executive leadership at a SaaS company. You’ve played a role in creating robust financial analyses, models, reports, and dashboards that facilitate business decisions – especially using Excel. You have a vast understanding of accounting, finance, and operations principles and can help others understand and apply those concepts.

Influence change. You take initiative to understand the business’s needs and challenges, maybe more than they understand it themselves. You form quality, robust recommendations through the knowledge you acquire, data sources, and existing processes – and you use those recommendations to create scalable solutions that will help immediately and in the future. Because of the transparency, authenticity, humility, and knowledge you bring, your peers, partners, and business leaders trust the information you provide to influence key decisions.

Initiative. You don’t wait around for things to happen or for your manager to tell you what to do. You’re not only proactive about completing your own work, but when you sense the need to introduce a project that will benefit the team or the organization -- even if it’s outside your scope of work -- you put a proposal together, talk to the team about it, and own it. And that also goes back to having an entrepreneurial spirit.

Industry expertise. Let’s face it, understanding and prior experience supporting a Customer

Excellence organization at a software (SaaS) company is a plus.

Education. Successful completion of a bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or Business Administration is highly preferred.

Here’s what will give you an edge…

Tools and systems experience.

• You’ve worked hands-on with FP&A relational databases, BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, etc.), Netsuite, and Salesforce reporting.
• You’ve facilitated due diligence or assisted in corporate development processes such as M&A, capital raises, etc.
• You have worked within FP&A tools such as Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, Vena, etc.

Quality oriented. You rarely make mistakes because you have good processes in place to ensure that every detail is correct. But in those rare occasions when errors are realized (let’s face it, it happens to the best of us from time to time), you own them, correct them, learn from them, and then quickly adjust and communicate processes to ensure the same mistake doesn’t happen twice. It’s your transparency, authenticity, and humility that sets you apart from the rest.

Resourceful & Collaborative. At Conga, we achieve together-- when you have questions, you find answers; when you’re faced with challenges, you find solutions. You turn to a variety of resources, including your colleagues, professional network, the Internet, articles, books -- whatever helps you get the job done. Then you apply that knowledge across the business where it makes sense.
