Backed by the largest Private Equity firms in the world – Blackstone Growth and Francisco Partners, Dynamo is seeking to grow our team based on rapidly increasing demand for our financial technology solutions.

Role Overview: The Financial Analyst will support the FP&A team by delivering accurate reporting, budgeting/forecasting support, and actionable analysis to help leaders understand performance drivers and make informed decisions.

What You’ll Do (Day-to-Day): 

  • Prepare and analyze monthly non-compensation expense reporting packages (e.g. budget vs actuals) with clear variance explanations and business insights.
  • Support recurring forecasting processes including department expense forecasts, and revenue drivers.
  • Assist with the annual operating plan (AOP) and long-range planning cycles by collecting inputs, validating assumptions, and maintaining templates/models.
  • Analyze revenue performance and drivers (e.g., ARR trends, churn/retention, bookings, billings) and communicate implications to finance and business partners.
  • Partner with budget owners to understand spend drivers, improve forecast accuracy, and identify cost optimization opportunities.
  • Support system implementation, automation initiatives and AI to improve data quality, speed, and self-service reporting.
  • Ensure data integrity by reconciling reporting outputs to source systems and collaborating with others in finance on close-related questions.
  • Other ad hoc analysis

What Success Looks Like: 

  • Monthly reporting is accurate, timely, and highlights the “why” behind variances- not just the “what.”
  • Forecasts are well-supported, clearly documented, and improve in accuracy over time.
  • Business partners view FP&A as a trusted, easy-to-work-with resource for decision support.
  • Models are maintained with strong version control, transparency, and reproducibility.

What you bring: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.
  • 1–3 years of experience in FP&A, or a related analytical role.
  • Strong Excel skills (e.g., pivot tables, lookups, structured modeling); ability to work with large datasets and build repeatable analysis.
  • Experience preparing variance analysis and communicating insights to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Strong attention to detail, sound judgment, and ability to balance multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate data into clear, decision-useful narratives.
  • Exposure to FP&A tools (e.g., Workday Adaptive Planning, Anaplan) and BI/reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
  • Nice to have - experience in a SaaS or subscription business model (e.g., ARR, churn, retention, cohort analysis).

What We Offer:

  • The ability to have an IMPACT.   Good ideas come from everybody in our organization. We are agile enough to embrace new ideas and new directions.
  • A very attractive work culture in an established technology company. We take pride in our work and people.
