Head of FP&A

Lead the annual budget and quarterly re-forecast cycle across departments; track actuals vs. budget monthly and flag material variances before they become surprises.

Continuously assess headcount and other incremental investment needs, and build the timely, data-backed business case for the ones that make sense, rather than waiting for the next budget cycle.

Own the cash forecast. Maintain a rolling short- and long-range cash view, tighten cash monitoring, and shorten the cash collection cycle.

Build the monthly and quarterly financial reporting package (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow) and own the relevant parts of the Board deck for quarterly meetings.

Respond to investor and lender reporting requests, manage the day-to-day relationship with financing partners on debt tied to manufacturing and other operations, and support borrowing formula/compliance reporting.

Support fundraising strategy, preparation, and due-diligence follow-up, with an eye toward the reporting rigor and data discipline an eventual IPO will demand, and keep Simbe's data room current.

Represent Finance in Simbe's monthly S&OP process; work with S&OP to define and instrument the vital metrics for the business, and own the balanced scorecard that tracks them.

Drive insights from that data into the business - not just report trends, but push the specific changes in pricing, spend, or operations that move financial results.

Partner directly with department leaders (Sales, Operations, Manufacturing, Product) to pressure-test their numbers, flag spend trends, and drive cost discipline.

Own and advance Simbe's use of our FP&A platform - driving adoption, new use cases, and integrations with our broader financial systems — and push AI and automation into forecasting, reporting, and reconciliation work, partnering with the Controller where it touches accounting or tax.
