WHO YOU ARE:

You are a disciplined and analytically strong finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.  You take ownership of complex financial work, bring structure to ambiguity, and approach problems with rigor, precision, and sound judgment.

You are comfortable operating independently and partnering cross-functionally, and you excel at translating complex financial information into clear, executive-level insights.  You care deeply about accuracy and quality, and you take pride in building financial models and processes that are scalable, resilient, and built to last.

HOW YOU BRING OUR MISSION TO LIFE:

You bring our mission to life by providing the financial clarity, discipline, and insight that enable Sky Zone to grow, invest, and operate with confidence through the following responsibilities:

Corporate Financial Modeling & Planning

• Own and maintain consolidated financial models, including P&L, cash flow, and long-range plan.
• Serve as backup owner for all core FP&A models, ensuring continuity, accuracy, and scalability.
• Support annual budget, quarterly reforecast, and scenario planning processes.

Cash Flow & Liquidity Management

• Own the 13-week cash flow forecast and monthly cash forecasting processes.
• Partner with Accounting and Treasury to monitor liquidity, covenant headroom, and near-term cash risks.
• Prepare cash flow variance analysis and executive-level commentary.

MD&A and Executive Reporting

• Lead preparation of MD&A for internal management, Board of Directors, PEP, MidCap, and lenders.
• Develop clear variance bridges, narrative insights, and “so what / now what” analysis.
• Support ad hoc requests from investors and lenders with timely, well-structured analysis.

Close & Variance Analysis

• Support monthly close through flux analysis, addback identification, and departmental variance analysis.
• Partner with Accounting to ensure consistency between actuals, forecasts, and reporting outputs.
• Improve close-cycle efficiency through standardized templates and repeatable processes.

Systems, Data & Process Integration

• Maintain alignment between Excel models, NetSuite, NSPB, and Power BI.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual FP&A workflows and improve data reliability.
• Partner with BI/Data teams to enhance dashboards and executive reporting.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TEAM:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or a related field required.
• 5+ years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, corporate finance, or strategic finance roles.
• Advanced financial modeling skills (multi-tab models, cash flow, scenario analysis).
• A high level of proficiency with Excel; experience with NetSuite, Oracle NSPB, Power BI preferred.
• Strong experience supporting executive leadership, Boards, and external stakeholders.
• Experience operating independently in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment (Investment Banking and/or Private Equity experience is considered a plus)
• A data driven and analytical approach with the ability to develop, maintain, and analyze financial models, perform variance analysis, and apply sound financial judgment to support business decisions.
• Strong financial acumen with an understanding of cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and reforecasting, and the ability to maintain accurate, timely financial visibility and identify potential risks.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present financial information clearly and concisely while delivering executive-level narratives and insights.
• Disciplined, detail-oriented end-to-end ownership of financial processes with a strong commitment to accuracy and accountability.
• An execution-oriented mindset with the ability to operate independently, manage competing priorities, and execute effectively in a deadline-driven environment.
• The ability to remain stationary while working at a computer and communicating via Teams or phone for extended periods.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS:

You play a critical role in ensuring Sky Zone operates with financial clarity, confidence, and continuity.  By owning core financial models, cash flow forecasting, and executive reporting, you provide leadership with reliable insight to guide decisions across growth, investment, and operations.

Your work reduces reliance on any single individual, strengthens FP&A process discipline, and improves the consistency and credibility of financial outputs.  In doing so, you help senior leaders stay focused on strategy, support strong relationships with investors and lenders, and contribute directly to the company’s long-term financial health and sustainability.
