The FP&A Manager will be deeply embedded within the business, partnering with client-serving leaders, project managers, operations personnel, the sales organization, and executive leadership to translate financial and operational data into actionable insights. This role owns core FP&A processes end-to-end—budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and close—while also serving as a strategic advisor who enables better, faster, and more informed decisions that improve profitability, optimize resource allocation, and drive sustainable growth.

This role is expected to operate with an independent point of view—validating assumptions, pressure-testing forecasts, and identifying risks and opportunities ahead of the business. Success requires strong financial modeling skills, a clear understanding of business drivers, and the ability to engage senior leaders with credible, data-driven perspectives.

This is a hybrid position for candidates based in the Chicagoland area.

We'll trust you to:

Business Partnering & Strategic Finance

Partner with business leaders on pricing, resource allocation, growth investments, and client economics

Own the connection between operational activity and financial outcomes; develop and communicate a clear point of view on performance drivers and forward outlook

Build and maintain the analytical foundation for understanding business dynamics (e.g., margin composition, revenue mix, utilization economics, pipeline quality, client-level profitability)

Evaluate pipeline quality and revenue forecasts; challenge assumptions and develop independent views where needed

Develop scenario models to support strategic decisions around new service lines, capacity investments, pricing changes, and organizational design

Support board and investor materials; contribute to a clear, credible financial narrative and growth story

Identify leading indicators and emerging risks; establish feedback loops that improve forecasting accuracy and decision-making discipline

Produce and distribute recurring financial reports (P&L, headcount, utilization, pipeline); evolve reporting to meet business needs

Build and maintain financial models, dashboards, and KPI frameworks that provide real-time visibility into business performance

Perform detailed variance analysis (actual vs. budget vs. prior year); document explanations and communicate findings to stakeholders

Support month-end and year-end close activities including accruals, full-year reforecasting, and audit support

Maintain and improve financial data integrity, planning tools, and reporting infrastructure; serve as a power user of FP&A platforms

These Core Responsibilities are not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties or responsibilities that are required. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice.

You'll need to have:

5–8 years in FP&A, finance business partnering, investment banking, or management consulting

Demonstrated ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting processes

Comfortable presenting to and challenging senior leaders

Professional services or PE-backed company experience preferred
