About the role

  • Corporate FP&A is the factory that turns raw inputs from across the business into Base's consolidated financial plan - the operating dashboard the CEO, CFO, and board run the company on.
  • The bar is forecast accuracy at meaningful scale, and the speed at which the finance team absorbs new information and produces a new answer.
  • The company is making meaningful decisions on what comes out of your work, so it has to be right.

Responsibilities

  • Own Base's corporate model end-to-end - the integrated 3-statement build, the structured financing rolled into a cohesive whole, and the consolidated outlook the company is steered by
  • Run forecast consolidation as a factory line - design the templates the rest of finance works in, flow-chart the inputs and dependencies, and compress the cycle time from new information to refreshed plan
  • Own G&A forecasting directly - partner with the G&A function leads on headcount, vendor spend, and capital allocation, and make their numbers in the corporate model match the reality of their org
  • Own the weekly 13-week cash forecast, monthly BvA, and the investor pack - partner with Head of Finance, capital markets, and the CEO on positioning, disclosures, and the narrative around the numbers
  • Build the AI-native layer of the factory - agentic tooling embedded in consolidation, variance analysis, and reporting so the team produces a weekly forecast in under an hour, not a week
  • Co-design and operate the controls layer with the Head of Finance & team - preventive gates, detective monitoring, corrective actions, and policy across capital allocation, headcount, vendor contracts, and treasury, so the company can move fast without crashing
  • Strong opinions on FP&A as a discipline - driver trees, scorecards, BvA, controls, consolidation architecture - and a track record of building these systems, not just running someone else's
  • Thinks like a process engineer - flow chart a forecasting or close process, identified the bottleneck, and made it measurably faster; energized by treating the model as a factory to optimize

Compensation

  • Run the AOP process - annual plan, quarterly refresh, monthly operating cadence, and the rituals and reviews that go with them

  • It's not a 9-to-5.
  • We are all-in.
