FP&A Analyst

POSITION OVERVIEW 

Alarm.com (NASDAQ: ALRM) is a profitable, growing SaaS and technology company driving innovation across the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected property markets. We are seeking an FP&A Analyst to join our Financial Planning & Analysis team with a primary focus on supporting Alarm.com’s Commercial portfolio, one of the company’s high-growth markets, as well as several of our emerging businesses and subsidiaries. 

This role provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the full spectrum of FP&A while working directly with business leaders and senior leadership across Alarm.com and its subsidiaries. The FP&A Analyst will serve as a financial business partner, helping leaders understand performance, evaluate investments, manage resources, and make informed strategic decisions. 

Unlike a role focused exclusively on budgeting or reporting, this position offers exposure to full-stack FP&A, including commission planning, deal desk and pricing support, capital and investment management, the monthly close and forecasting cycle, annual planning, and long-term strategic planning. 

The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, analytical, commercially minded, and comfortable developing relationships outside of Finance. This position will report to the Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis and work closely with members of the FP&A team, subsidiary leadership teams, and senior management across the organization. 

RESPONSIBILITIES 

The FP&A Analyst’s primary responsibilities will include: 

• Serve as an FP&A business partner supporting Alarm.com’s Commercial portfolio and select emerging businesses and subsidiaries. 

• Develop a strong understanding of the underlying business, including revenue drivers, customer economics, operating costs, headcount, investments, and key performance indicators. 

• Support the monthly close and forecasting cycle by analyzing financial results, identifying key drivers of performance, explaining budget and forecast variances, and updating financial outlooks. 

• Build and maintain financial models supporting revenue, operating expenses, headcount, capital investments, commissions, and other key business drivers. 

• Partner directly with business and subsidiary leadership to develop annual operating plans, forecasts, and long-term strategic plans. 

• Support deal desk and commercial decision-making, including pricing analysis, customer economics, profitability, investment requirements, and financial tradeoffs associated with strategic opportunities. 

• Assist in the development, modeling, and administration of sales commission plans and incentive programs, including evaluating performance against established targets. 

• Support capital planning and investment analysis, including business cases, ROI assessments, prioritization of investments, and ongoing tracking of financial performance. 

• Analyze business trends and operational KPIs to identify risks, opportunities, and areas requiring additional management attention. 

• Translate financial and operational data into clear insights and actionable recommendations for business leaders and senior management. 

• Partner closely with Accounting during the monthly close process to ensure financial results are accurately reflected and understood. 

• Assist with strategic and ad hoc analysis across the Commercial portfolio and emerging businesses as priorities evolve. 

• Continuously improve financial models, reporting, processes, and analytical tools used by FP&A and its business partners. 
• Other duties as assigned

REQUIREMENTS 

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related quantitative discipline. 

• 2+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, investment banking, consulting, or another analytical role with highly transferable experience. 

• Strong understanding of financial statements, accounting concepts, and corporate finance fundamentals. 

• Experience with financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and KPI analysis. 

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to efficiently analyze and organize large datasets. 

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to define problems, identify relevant data, develop conclusions, and translate analysis into actionable recommendations. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain financial concepts to both financial and non-financial stakeholders. 

• Ability to manage multiple priorities, operate independently, and take ownership of projects from analysis through recommendation. 

YOU WILL LIKELY BE A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE IF: 

• You are naturally curious about how businesses operate and want to understand the drivers behind the financial results rather than simply report the numbers. 

• You enjoy working directly with business leaders and are comfortable developing relationships across different functions and levels of an organization. 

• You want exposure to the full FP&A lifecycle rather than specializing in only one area of corporate finance. 

• You are comfortable moving between detailed financial analysis and broader strategic business questions. 

• You have strong judgment and can identify when something in the numbers does not make sense and proactively investigate it. 

• You are a team player who is willing to step outside of a narrowly defined scope when the business needs support. 

• You have experience with SaaS, recurring revenue, subscription-based businesses, or a strong desire to learn these business models. 

• You are detail-oriented while maintaining an understanding of the broader business and strategic objectives. 

• You are motivated by the opportunity to develop into a trusted financial partner to business and subsidiary leadership. 

Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.
