The Role:

What You’ll Do:

• Collaborate with the accounting team on the monthly close process including monthly account reviews.
• Work with the entire FP&A team to produce Annual Budgets and in-year reforecasts.
• Work closely with the supported business leaders to produce reliable forecasts.
• Prepare and present variance analysis reports against the budget, forecast, and prior periods, with an ability to adjust analysis and reporting level to the appropriate audience such as an executive vs. a budget owner.
• Be responsible for global headcount tracking and reporting, including cross-functional support to make sure that all teams are aligned on hiring plans and recruitment status.
• Manage the weekly cash forecasting process. Support identification and management of data sources used for liquidity management, including data definition, data model management, coordination with key stakeholders, and management of changes in upstream data sources.
• Analyze large data sets and summarize key messages for management to help inform funding and business strategy decisions.
• Support leadership in preparation of materials for Board of Directors, investor meetings, earnings calls, and other associated high-level events.
• Build strong relationships across all functions and areas within Spire and with external partners and maintain an open flow of communication.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Minimum 4–6 years of FP&A or Finance experience with progressively increasing reporting responsibility in scope and/or executives supported.
• Bachelor's Degree with finance concentration. CPA or MBA preferred.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint skills.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Highly proficient at creating efficient and effective financial models, budgets, and reports, and enthusiastic about training others to do the same.
• Rock-solid technical knowledge of finance and accounting — including knowledge of the three financial statements and the SaaS business model and metrics (e.g., ARR, net and gross revenue retention, churn, and CAC).
• Strong understanding of GAAP and non-GAAP reporting, including accrual-based accounting and impacts on forecasts and planning.
• Experience in an international reporting environment — with an understanding of international regulatory nuance that can impact P&L reporting and planning.
• Experience with headcount reconciliation and tracking.
• Exceptional presentation skills and the ability to convey a message that is understandable and relevant, linking business issues, financial results, and strategy.
• Skilled at persuading and influencing a broad spectrum of constituents at all levels, including senior management.
• Exceptional problem solving and analytical skills. Ability to analyze complex business problems and make sound business decisions.
• Systems savvy, ideally with experience managing financial planning and reporting tools.
• Curious mind with an interest in constant process improvements and personal professional development/growth.
• Experience using Workday Adaptive Insights and NetSuite ERP preferred.

Spire operates a hybrid work model, and this position will require you to work a minimum of three days per week in the office.
