Job description

Qumulo's cloud data platform manages exabytes of the world's most demanding data, unifying files, objects, and every workload across edge, core, and cloud.

About the roleå

Qumulo's finance team plans and forecasts for a business that sells on both a consumption and subscription basis. As our Senior Financial Analyst you'll help build cash flow forecasts, plan operating expenses in Adaptive, work with budget owners across the company, and follow the top line from ACV through bookings, billings, and ARR.

Reporting to our Director of Finance, your work will be highly visible to leadership, the board, and investors, and within short order you’ll own something meaningful like our cash flow model or quarterly executive deck.

You’ll be joining during a time of rapid growth, and become part of a team that’s still small enough that you’ll see the entire finance function: cash, planning, commissions, and board reporting. Where you go from there depends on what you're drawn to, whether that's FP&A leadership, cloud and consumption finance, or the reporting side.

As a Senior Financial FP&A Analyst at Qumulo, you will:

• Own the regular preparation and management of financial reports and forecasts, such as the quarterly cash flow forecast.
• Build and review operating expense plans in Workday Adaptive Planning.
• Run the regular plan‑vs‑actual reviews with budget owners.
• Model the top line from ACV through bookings, billings, and ARR, including what moves when deal structure or contract length changes.
• Produce reporting packages for leadership, including the quarterly executive deck and the board and investor reporting.
• Model and answer broad financial questions and alternative business models, like how changes to contract length or pricing might impact cash or ARR.
• Automate recurring work in Excel, Adaptive, or with Python if that's the right tool.

Our ideal Senior Financial Analyst will have:

• 3+ years in FP&A, public accounting, corporate finance, or investment banking
• A strong foundation in Accounting - whether that's an accounting degree or a couple of years at a Big 4 firm.
• An understanding of SaaS business models and metrics (ARR, NRR, GRR, bookings and billings, ACV) and how revenue recognition works across subscription and consumption-based contracts. Ability to build a cash flow model from scratch in Excel and explain how the balance sheet drives it.
• Fluency in how the P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement connect, plus experience building operating plans and department budgets against them.
• Advanced Excel, including scenario analysis and variance frameworks you've built yourself.
• Ability to work on-site at our downtown Seattle office four to five days a week.
• Bonus points for hands‑on analytics skills with Python, R, or similar, and/or a demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools for advanced development and analytics use cases.

The annual pay range for the role is USD $90,000 - $125,000 plus benefits and pre‑IPO stock options. Individual pay depends on various factors, such as role level, relevant experience, and skills.

Benefits & Perks:

• Pre-IPO stock options
• Flexible time‑off policy
• HSA and PPO health insurance options
• Dental and Vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Choice of an ORCA card or parking subsidy
