Limelight works with finance teams that are outgrowing spreadsheets and need a contemporary way to plan, forecast, and report. Our customers don’t need “implementation support” — they need a finance partner who understands FP&A; deeply and can guide them through real-world planning challenges.

This is a senior, client-facing consulting role. You will work directly with CFOs, VPs of Finance, and FP&A; leaders to design, build, and operationalize budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, and reporting workflows inside Limelight.

If you’ve lived in FP&A;, led planning cycles, built models from scratch, and can confidently run a room with finance leaders — this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

- Act as the primary finance advisor for a portfolio of customers during onboarding and beyond
- Lead working sessions with CFOs, VPs of Finance, Controllers, and FP&A; teams
- Translate messy, Excel-heavy planning processes into clean, scalable FP&A; workflows
- Ask the right finance questions — not just follow a checklist

FP&A; Solution Design

- Design and implement:
- Annual budgets and rolling forecasts
- Driver-based revenue models
- Workforce and headcount planning
- Actual vs budget / variance analysis
- Board- and exec-ready reporting
- Guide customers on best practices, tradeoffs, and design decisions




- Ensure solutions are not just built — but adopted

Communication & Stakeholder Management

- Clearly explain complex financial concepts to both finance and non-finance stakeholders
- Manage expectations, timelines, and priorities with senior clients
- Confidently present recommendations and push back when needed
- Build trust — customers should feel “this person gets our business”

Collaboration

- Partner closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success
- Provide feedback to product based on real customer FP&A; use cases
- Help shape implementation standards and playbooks as Limelight scales

- Experience implementing or working with FP&A; tools or ERPs
- Comfortable leading projects without detailed instructions
