What is special about this role?
As a Senior FP&A Analyst at Helix, you'll own operating expense planning,
reporting, and forecasting for the Finance team.
Your work will shape strategic decisions and optimize how we spend across the
company.
Beyond traditional FP&A, you'll design and support the systems behind our
numbers, including NetSuite, our procurement platform, and our CRM.
AI is now core to how our Finance team works, not an add-on. We're looking for
someone who already treats it as a real part of their toolkit and wants to grow
further against Helix's Finance AI Fluency framework.
You'll thrive in our fast-paced startup environment, where autonomy and ambition
directly shape our mission.
As a Senior FP&A Analyst, you will:
Financial Modeling & Forecasting:
Own the operating expense planning, reporting, and forecasting process,
working closely with budget owners across the organization.
Own comprehensive budget and forecast models, collaborating closely with
internal stakeholders to set and achieve financial targets.
Support the monthly closing process, including actual-to-budget bridge
analysis and specific deep dives of other key accounts.
Use AI to produce first-draft variance commentary and bridge analysis,
grounded in our specific GL data and accounting policies.
Communicate financial results and actionable insights to budget owners and
leadership, driving informed decision-making.
Ensure compliance with our finance and accounting policies, and understand
legal and GAAP business requirements.
System Architecture & Data Management:
Design and support our core business systems, including NetSuite (ERP), our
procurement system (Ramp), and our CRM system (Hubspot), ensuring seamless
operation and data flow.
Partner with key stakeholders throughout the organization to maintain and
improve data integrity across all systems, ensuring accuracy of actuals and
forecasts for both financial and operational reporting.
Develop scalable processes and procedures within these systems to support
Helix's fast-growing business lines.
Reporting & Insights:
Create, maintain, and enhance reporting decks and dashboards, including
those for Board-level and investor presentations.
Transform complex data into clear, concise, and actionable insights,
effectively telling the story behind the numbers.
Build and maintain reusable AI workflows and skills for recurring reporting
tasks, so good practices scale across the team.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Partner with stakeholders across several departments to inform strategic
decision-making and drive company growth.
Work effectively as part of cross-geographic, cross-organizational, and
cross-cultural teams.
About you:
Experience: Typically 5+ years of relevant financial planning and analysis
experience.
Systems Expertise: Demonstrated experience managing, designing, and
troubleshooting key financial and operational systems like NetSuite (ERP),
procurement platforms (Ramp), and CRM systems (Hubspot), ideally with prior
admin-level access and responsibility.
AI Fluency: You audit AI-generated numbers and narrative against the source
ledger before they reach a budget owner or leadership, and you know not to
put non-public financial data or PII into a public AI tool.
Analytical Prowess: Exceptional analytical skills with a proven ability to
work with large, complex data sets, analyze operational data, and develop
scalable solutions for financial reporting and forecasting.
Collaborative & Problem-Solver: You are inherently operational, thrive in
cross-functional and collaborative environments, and enjoy identifying real
solutions to key business problems with limited direction and unlimited
ambition.
Communication Skills: Strong written and oral communication skills, with a
proven ability to turn complex financial data into a clear, insight-driven
story for both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
Technical Skills: Mastery of Excel and Google Suite applications.
Education: Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a
quantitative business-related field required.
Adaptability: Experience working in a fast-paced, start-up environment is
highly valued.
Pluses:
Experience in investment banking, consulting (with significant finance
exposure), or within a healthcare/life sciences (pharma, biotech,
medtech/diagnostics) or high-growth tech company
