Make your impact within a rapidly growing Fintech Company At BILL, we’re automating the future of finance.

You will not only own business relationships but also drive corporate analysis and trend analysis to ensure our investment strategy aligns with long-term growth and industry benchmarks.

Requirements

Data-Fluency: You don’t just use Excel; you master it. You are comfortable navigating ERPs (NetSuite/Oracle) and FP&A tools (Adaptive, Hyperion) to extract the signal from the noise.
Strategic Thinking: You don't just report numbers; you identify the "why" behind them. You can connect a spike in infrastructure usage to a broader corporate trend.
Technical Curiosity: You might not write code, but you understand how a tech stack scales. You can discuss "Cloud Latency" or "DevOps cycles" and translate them into "Financial Risk" or "Opportunity" for the board.
SaaS Specialty: You have the SaaS P&L memorized. You understand the levers that drive sustainable growth and know how to measure its efficiency.
Experience: 6–8+ years in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Strategic Finance, with a focus on high-growth SaaS or Fintech.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field (MBA or CPA is a plus).
Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals (accruals, capitalization of software, opex vs. capex, etc.).
Expertise with ERP Finance systems (e.g. NetSuite, Adaptive Insights, Oracle Hyperion, or SAP S/4).
Advanced financial modeling for complex business investment cases.
Experience managing Cloud/Infrastructure costs (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Visa Sponsorship: Please note that this position is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Applicants must have authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future.

Responsibilities

Strategic Business Partnering: Act as the lead finance counselor to executives. You’ll collaborate with leaders to track progress, optimize spend, and rigorously evaluate the ROI of new technical initiatives.
Forecasting & Budgeting: Own the end-to-end planning and forecasting with your business partners. You’ll lead the annual budgeting cycle, quarterly forecasting, and variance analysis.
Corporate Analysis & Trends: Go beyond the R&D function. You will analyze company-wide financial trends, perform industry benchmarking, and identify macro-level shifts in SaaS efficiency to help leadership steer the ship.
Month-End: Oversee the month-end close for your departments. This includes managing accruals and variance analysis (BvA) while proactively translating these results into "what’s next" for the rolling forecast.
Business Case Analysis: Lead the financial vetting for major tech decisions—providing "Build vs. Buy" frameworks, Cloud infrastructure optimization models, and deep-dives into 3rd party vendor efficiency.
Advanced Reporting: Architect automated dashboards tracking critical KPIs: R&D as a % of Revenue, Cloud Cost per Transaction, and Developer Productivity metrics.
