FP&A Analyst

Description

Paragon is a fast-growing cyber intelligence company, rapidly establishing itself as a key player in the industry. We are a young, innovative company with a cutting-edge product based in Tel Aviv.

We’re looking for a Senior FP&A Analyst to join our growing Finance team. This is a highly visible role that sits at the intersection of finance, data, and business strategy - you’ll own core planning and forecasting processes, become the analytical partner to business leaders, and help build the infrastructure that supports our next phase of growth.

This is a hands-on role with real ownership from day one. You’ll work directly with senior leadership and have a meaningful influence on how the business allocates resources and measures success.

Responsibilities

Planning, Budgeting & Forecasting

 ·    Own and drive the annual budget, quarterly, and rolling forecast cycles end-to-end - from timeline and templates through to consolidation and executive review

·     Build and maintain the company’s integrated financial model (P&L, long-range planning, headcount, cash flow), including scenario and sensitivity analysis

·     Build and maintain the headcount and compensation plan in partnership with HR, including hiring plan phasing, backfills, and fully-loaded cost assumptions

SaaS Metrics & Unit Economics

·     Develop and own the bottoms-up revenue model - bookings, billings, ARR, and recognized revenue - bridging between them and reconciling to the CRM and the ERP

·     Track, analyze, and report core KPIs: ARR, ACV, NRR/GRR, logo and dollar churn, CAC, LTV/CAC, magic number, burn multiple, ARR per FTE, and more

·     Build cohort-level retention and expansion analyses and connect them back to forecast assumptions

·     Analyze pricing and packaging economics and support pricing decisions with data

Business Partnering

·     Participate in the monthly reporting cycle: actuals vs. budget/forecast variance analysis with clear, actionable commentary on drivers - not just deltas

·     Serve as the trusted finance partner to department leaders - own their budgets, review actuals with them monthly, and challenge and support their spending decisions

·     Design and maintain executive dashboards that give leadership a live view of performance

·     Partner closely with Accounting on the monthly close to ensure a fast and accurate handoff into reporting

Systems, Data & Process

·     Own and improve the FP&A tech stack: ERP, CRM, planning platform, and BI layer - including data integrity, hierarchies, and chart of accounts alignment

·     Identify and automate manual processes; drive continuous improvement in the speed and reliability of the planning and reporting cycle

·     Build a single source of truth for financial and operational data, and define KPIs consistently across systems

·     Support system implementations and upgrades as a finance stakeholder
