About the Role:
We are looking for experienced FP&A professionals to help evaluate and improve AI systems that support financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting workflows. This is a flexible 1099 contract role for FP&A analysts, managers, and directors who can apply rigorous practical judgment to AI-generated financial outputs. The hourly rate is $90.
Projects are grounded in real planning artifacts: budget models, rolling forecasts, variance commentary, board reporting packages, KPI dashboards, and scenario analyses.
What You Will Work On:
* Reviewing AI-generated budget vs. actuals analyses and variance commentary for accuracy, completeness, and business relevance
* Evaluating revenue, margin, headcount, and cash flow models for logical structure and appropriate assumptions
* Assessing board reporting packages, KPI dashboards, and scenario analyses for quality and decision-relevance
* Identifying errors or weaknesses in forecasting logic, driver assumptions, or model structure
* Helping define what high-quality FP&A outputs look like across planning cycles and reporting cadences
* Contributing realistic FP&A scenarios and edge cases drawn from your professional experience
Expertise We Are Looking For:
Candidates should have meaningful experience in one or more of the following areas:
* Annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and long-range financial planning
* Budget vs. actuals reporting and variance commentary
* Revenue, margin, expense, headcount, and cash flow modelling
* Board and executive reporting, KPI design, and management dashboards
* Scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and stress testing
* Partnership with accounting teams on actuals, accruals, and close outputs
Tools and Systems:
Familiarity with any of the following is a plus: Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, Tableau, Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, Pigment, Planful, or common ERP reporting environments such as NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle.
You May Be a Good Fit If You:
* Have 3 or more years in FP&A, finance business partnering, or corporate finance
* Have built or owned budget models, forecasts, or management reporting packs
* Can distinguish between a technically correct model and one that is actually useful for business decisions
* Are comfortable explaining financial concepts and analytical assumptions in clear language
* Enjoy flexible, independent contract work
Compensation:
Hourly rate is up to $90 USD. Specialised expertise in areas such as complex financial modelling, multi-entity consolidations, or strategic planning may command higher rates. Retainer structures are available for ongoing engagements.
