FP&A Manager

👫 About the team

Our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team is the primary Finance partner for Equativ’s business leaders. The team is composed of several FP&A professionals, based in Paris & Montreal, who strive to provide enterprise-wide planning, analysis and reporting.

The team’s main mission is to provide visibility and counseling on the business not only to the executive team, but also to local business leaders. Real backbone of the company and highly visible, the FP&A team achieves this through measuring and forecasting performance, reporting on the drivers for revenue and cost and allocating budgets across the company in a fast growing and complex environment. The team’s input is also required for all finance projects: M&A growth, product pricing and billing implementation, contracts renegotiation, etc.
