You will develop and maintain detailed financial models to support business planning, scenario analysis, and strategic initiatives. You will also develop and maintain financial reports, prepare executive‑level presentations with clear, data‑driven insights, prepare monthly financial reporting including PE metrics, and analyze performance against budget and relevant benchmarking targets.

This role is fully remote.

Tracking and reporting on PE relevant metrics including EBITDA, cashflow generation, revenue growth rates, and capital efficiency
Collaborating with PE stakeholders on performance tracking of our value creation initiatives

About you
You align with Kuali’s values:
Kuali’s values resonate with you, and you embrace them not just as ideals but as everyday practices. You communicate transparently, assume positive intent, learn from mistakes, collaborate generously, and approach challenges with curiosity and humility. You bring these values into your interactions, decision‑making, and approach to work.
You’re a resourceful executor:
You turn broad goals into actionable steps and follow through reliably. You know how to gather the information you need, ask clarifying questions, and keep work moving even when details are still emerging.
You’re calm under pressure:
You handle shifting priorities and ambiguity with clarity and resilience. You break complex problems into manageable steps, maintain accuracy under deadlines, and communicate openly about risks, dependencies, and changes.
You’re collaborative and influential:
You build trust quickly and communicate financial information in ways that are accessible and supportive. You partner effectively with colleagues at all levels, helping them interpret insights and make informed decisions.
You’re organized and detail‑oriented:
You manage multiple deadlines without losing sight of accuracy. You maintain clear, well‑structured financial documentation, ensure data integrity, and double‑check your work to deliver reliable reports, forecasts, and analyses.
You thrive in a remote environment:
You communicate proactively, keep stakeholders aligned, and use digital tools effectively. You’re comfortable asking questions, sharing updates, and building strong working relationships across distributed teams.
You take ownership:
You’re comfortable being the point person for financial questions, driving clarity, improving processes, and making informed recommendations. You don’t wait for direction when something looks off—you investigate, communicate, and help resolve it.
You may be a good fit if you have
BS in Finance/Accounting or equivalent experience
7+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, financial analysis, or similar roles
Experience creating financial reports and dashboards
Experience with budgeting and forecasting
Experience conducting variance analyses and communicating performance insights

We’d be delighted if you also have
Experience in B2B SaaS companies with multi‑year contracts
Experience supporting M&A activities or integration projects
Experience in investment banking or PE‑backed organizations
The opportunity to work together with smart, passionate people to build a high‑growth, highly profitable SaaS company
Flexible remote work with no expectation of returning to an office setting
A truly exceptional benefits package, including 100% company‑paid medical and dental insurance
100% 401(k) matching up to 4%
Paid Maternity/Parental leave
Flexible PTO — no accrual limits, no ‘use it or lose it.’ Just work with your manager to make sure the team’s covered, and take the time you need to recharge.
Encouragement and support for ongoing learning and skill development
Recognition platform to celebrate contributions with meaningful incentives
Company retreats to connect, recharge, and collaborate
