Job description

This is the core FP&A execution role. KLDiscovery is looking for someone who can own the financial models, reporting packages, and close operations that the US Finance team currently builds manually. You will run them overnight, so the US team arrives to finished, reviewed deliverables every morning. Three areas: financial modeling (rolling forecast, EBITDA Bridge, scenarios), BI and reporting (BL packages, dashboards, BvA templates, Investor Package), and close operations (checklist, accruals, accounting liaison).

KLDiscovery is a $350M PE-backed company going through a Quality of Earnings process. The financial work you produce will be reviewed by the CFO, referenced in PE sponsor materials, and used in a transaction process. Financial modeling quality, output precision, and formatting discipline are non-negotiable. If your models have errors or your outputs need to be reformatted by the US team, this is not the right role.

Key Responsibilities:

• EBITDA Bridge: monthly production from June 2026 - actual vs. budget, vs. prior year, waterfall format, variance commentary per KLD standards
• Business line (BL) packages: monthly for all business lines - revenue, cost, headcount, variance vs. budget, formatted per KLD template
• BvA templates: maintain in Pigment; ensure commentary standards are applied consistently across all lines
• Investor Package: pull from Pigment, format per template, assemble first draft for FP&A Director review
• KPI scorecard: monthly - revenue, EBITDA, DSO, cash, close cycle with traffic-light RAG indicators
• Close operations: own the close checklist, monitor Accounting SLA (BD1/BD3/BD4), flag slippage to FP&A Manager
• Accruals review: work with Accounting to review and validate monthly accruals before books close

Qualifications

• Expert Excel financial modeling - this is the single most important qualification for this role
• 3-statement integrated models from scratch: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow - must know the mechanics
• Experience building EBITDA bridges, rolling forecasts, variance waterfall charts - must have produced these in a real FP&A context
• Pigment, Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar planning platform - strong plus; will be required on day one

Reporting & BI:

• Experience building PE-grade management reporting packages
• Power BI or Tableau - build and maintain dashboards from structured data
• Strong PowerPoint formatting - investor-grade output quality required
• Comfort working with Oracle EPM / FCCS data exports for report inputs

Close Ops:

• Understanding of the month-end close: trial balance, accruals, journal entries
• Experience tracking close deliverables and working with Accounting on timelines
• Attention to detail on financial accuracy - spots and escalates discrepancies

Communication

• Strong written English - commentary reviewed directly by CFO and PE sponsors
• Works effectively asynchronously with US team across time zones
• Flags issues early; doesn't wait to be asked
