Sales & BusinessFinance RemoteFullTimeposted 7d ago
Monarch is a powerful, all-in-one personal finance platform designed to help make the complexity of finances feel simple again. Since launching in 2021, we've become the top-recommended personal finance app by users and experts. Our goal? To take the stress out of finances so our members can focus on what truly matters.
We are a team of do-ers led by experienced entrepreneurs who are passionate about helping our members reach their financial goals. We're hyper focused on building a product people love, and on finding every edge that helps us do that better. AI is core to how we operate: every person on the team uses it as a partner to sharpen judgment, move faster, and expand what's possible. We're not looking for tool mastery, we're looking for fluency and curiosity. What matters is that AI is part of how you work today and that you're actively raising your own bar on how to use it well.
As a fully remote company (even before COVID!), we welcome applicants from almost anywhere. Our team collaborates synchronously mostly from 9 AM – 2 PM PT and embraces asynchronous work to stay connected across time zones.
Join us on our mission to transform lives by simplifying money, together.
Monarch Money is seeking a Senior FP&A Analyst to support scaling our finance function. Reporting to the Head of FP&A, you'll be central to the planning cadence the whole company runs on — supporting the annual budget and quarterly re-forecast, maintaining our core operating model, and partnering with Accounting on monthly reporting and variance analysis.
This role blends analytical depth with real business partnership. You'll own departmental financial alignment across Growth, Product, Engineering, People, and CS, making sure every team is operating against a plan they understand and are accountable to. The ideal candidate is a hands-on builder — comfortable when the process doesn't exist yet, and able to turn complex financial data into something a non-finance leader can act on.
Planning & Forecasting:
Support the annual budget and quarterly re-forecast — running the calendar, templates, and working sessions with department leaders and Strategic Operations, and consolidating the result
Maintain and extend our three statement financial model
Support long-range planning and scenario modeling for growth, hiring, and capital decisions
Business Partnership:
Own departmental financial alignment — run a recurring review cadence with each department leader on budget, spend, and headcount against plan
Serve as the finance approver in Zip for vendor and purchase requests — validating spend against budget before it's committed, and pushing back when it isn't covered
Monitor spend in Ramp against plan, and maintain the renewal calendar so contract decisions happen ahead of auto-renewal rather than after
Give department leaders visibility into their own committed and remaining budget
Flag variances and emerging risks in-period, proactively, rather than explaining them after the fact
Help non-finance leaders read their own numbers and connect spend to outcomes
Reporting & Analysis:
Partner with Accounting through month-end close — accruals, plan-to-actual reconciliation, and a monthly reporting package delivered on a predictable cadence
Produce variance analysis with written commentary explaining the why, not just the delta
Prepare metrics, schedules, and narrative inputs for investor updates and board reporting
Take on ad-hoc analysis and build the decks that frame decisions for leadership
Systems & Automation:
Improve and automate recurring reporting in Aleph and Omni — less manual effort each cycle, more self-serve for the teams who need answers
4+ years in FP&A or corporate finance, with direct exposure to a full planning cycle
You build things other people can operate. Advanced Excel/Google Sheets modeling.
You've had the harder conversation. You've sat with a non-finance leader whose spend diverged from plan and worked it through, rather than escalating it
You make complex things simple. Financial concepts land with people who don't have a finance background
You'd rather flag a surprise early than present a polished answer late
You're comfortable when the process doesn't exist yet and would rather build it than wait for it
Experience in a subscription, SaaS, or fintech business
SQL and familiarity with BI tooling (Omni, Looker, or equivalent)
Experience with a modern ERP (Rillet, NetSuite) or planning tool (Aleph, Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive)
Experience with procurement or spend management tooling (Zip, Coupa, Airbase, Navan)
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field
