Senior FP&A Analyst

Equativ • Montreal • 4w ago

👫 About the team

Our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team is the primary Finance partner for Equativ’s business leaders. The team is composed of several FP&A Analysts, based in Paris (HQ) & Montreal, who strive to provide enterprise-wide planning, analysis and reporting.

The team’s main mission is to provide visibility and counseling on the business not only to the executive team, but also to local business leaders. Real backbone of the company and highly visible, the FP&A team achieves this through measuring and forecasting performance, reporting on the drivers for revenue and cost and allocating budgets across the company in a fast growing and complex environment. The team’s input is also required for all finance projects: M&A growth, product pricing and billing implementation, contracts renegotiation, etc.

Reporting to the Sr Director, Business Analytics & FP&A, you will be working closely with our different internal stakeholders (BU Leaders) to provide them with financial insights, in order to ensure a good understanding of their financial performance and the actions to be taken to stay on track.

Your responsibilities will include:

Business intelligence and partnering

You will be the FP&A leader in North America, and the go-to person for FP&A topics in this region, which is Equativ’s main market. As a result, educating your internal customers and ensuring a smooth communication with them will be at the core of your missions.
Make sense of complex business figures using your excellent analytical skills and provide insights & recommendations to your internal clients.
Act as a true business partner to departments ranging from Regional Sales to Central Functions such as HR, Customer Support, Product, for various topics: P&L monitoring and explanation, performance follow-up, etc.
Collaborate closely with the local accounting team to work on cost control

Contributing to the Core FP&A production

While most of the core FP&A production (Closing, Bonus process, Forecast, Budget…) will be handled by the central team, your understanding of the specificities of the teams you’re working with will be key to ensure a seamless process.
You’ll be involved in bonus-related processes as this is a highly sensitive topic for the teams you’re serving. In periods of high workload (for ex: yearly budget process), you will be supporting the central team even more.

Misc.

Provide support on transformation initiatives, current processes’ evolution, and identification of new analysis needs (for M&A, pricing and other purposes)

Last but not least, working within the FP&A team at Equativ is a lot of fun! Surrounded by a joyful team, you will be exposed to a lot of different topics and teams and you will never get bored!
