Director, Financial Planning & Analysis

Position Summary

Director of FP&A is a senior individual contributor responsible for the analytical engine of Exclusive Resorts and onefinestay centralized finance and FP&A function. This role owns the annual budget, rolling forecasts, and detailed variance analysis, alongside month-end reporting, cash forecasting, and ad hoc decision support for the Executive team and business unit leaders. The successful candidate combines rigorous financial modeling capability and deep technical command of planning and budgeting systems with the communication fluency to translate complex data into clear, executive-ready insight.

This is a high-visibility, high-output role requiring someone who operates with investment banking-grade precision, moves fast in ambiguous conditions, and holds themselves to a standard of accuracy that eliminates the need for downstream review.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Planning and Budgeting

• Own the annual budget and operating plan process end-to-end, including model architecture, timeline management, and consolidation across business units.
• Build and maintain integrated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow models in Excel, incorporating driver-based assumptions and scenario capabilities.
• Partner with department heads to develop bottoms-up budgets; challenge assumptions and surface gaps before they reach the CFO.
• Maintain rolling 12-month forecasts with clear documentation of variance drivers and re-forecast logic.

Month-End Results Packages

• Produce the monthly management reporting package distributed to the CEO, CFO President, and Board, covering P&L performance, KPI tracking, and segment-level results.
• Own detailed variance analysis versus budget, forecast, and prior year — at the account, department, and driver level — with narrative that explains root cause, not just the number.
• Coordinate with Accounting on close timelines to ensure Finance deliverables are met without creating dependency drag.
• Continuously improve package format, automation, and depth based on stakeholder feedback and emerging business priorities.

Cash Forecasting

• Oversee a 13-week rolling cash forecast integrated with operational and seasonal booking patterns.
• Develop longer-horizon (quarterly, annual) liquidity projections to support capital allocation decisions and covenant compliance monitoring.
• Flag emerging cash risk with adequate lead time; model alternative scenarios to quantify impact and optionality.
• Coordinate with Accounting and Accounts Payable to ensure forecast inputs reflect actual receipts and disbursement timing.

Ad Hoc Analysis and Decision Support

• Serve as the primary analytical resource for SVP of Finance on strategic and operational questions, including pricing, real estate economics, membership metrics, and commercial deal evaluation.
• Build clear, defensible models that structure ambiguous problems and surface the decision-relevant range of outcomes.
• Support M&A diligence, post-acquisition integration analysis, and cross-functional initiatives as directed.
• Synthesize data from multiple systems into coherent analyses under compressed timelines without sacrificing accuracy.

Tools, Systems, and Process Improvement

• Leverage Power BI to build and maintain executive dashboards that provide real-time visibility into financial and operational KPIs.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual work through automation, improved data architecture, or better tool utilization.
• Establish and enforce documentation standards for models, assumptions, and reporting outputs to enable auditability and knowledge transfer.

Qualifications

Required

• 10 or more years of progressive finance experience, with meaningful time in FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment.
• Advanced Excel proficiency: complex multi-tab models, dynamic arrays, power query, scenario and sensitivity tools, and full financial statement integration. Must be able to build from scratch, not just modify existing files.
• Strong Power BI capability: understanding data modeling and KPI measures, report and dashboard design, and detail vs big picture tradeoffs.
• Experience building and maintaining 13-week and longer-horizon cash forecasts in operationally complex businesses.
• Track record of producing senior executive-level financial packages independently, with minimal revision cycles.
• Strong technical proficiency with NetSuite Planning and Budgeting (NSPB) or similar budgeting system, including building, administering, and maintaining budget and forecast models directly within the tool. Technical systems skills are essential to this role.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related quantitative field.

Preferred

• Experience in subscription-based, real estate, hospitality, or travel businesses where revenue recognition and capacity economics are material.
• Exposure to post-acquisition integration finance work, including chart of accounts harmonization and intercompany eliminations.
• Familiarity with NetSuite or comparable ERP and the ability to extract and manipulate large data sets from source systems.
• Hands-on experience implementing budgeting and planning software — NetSuite Planning and Budgeting in particular — including system configuration, data integrations, and rollout to finance stakeholders.
