About the Role:

Decisions is a PE-backed enterprise automation platform operating across multiple geographies. Our Corporate FP&A team in Hyderabad is the central planning and analysis function for the whole company. It owns the consolidated budget and forecast, month-end management reporting, the company financial model, and the KPI frameworks that the CFO, CEO, Board, and our PE sponsor rely on to steer the business.

The Analyst/Senior FP&A Analyst is the team's analytical anchor. You will own the monthly reporting and BVA cycle, run key workstreams within the annual operating plan (AOP), rolling forecasts, and long-range plan, and act as the corporate finance partner for one or more business functions. You are expected to move beyond producing numbers to explaining them, identifying what changed, why it matters, and what leadership should do about it.

What You'll Own:

• Head of FP&A: monthly commentary, Board and sponsor materials, and planning decisions.
• Controller and Accounting: close calendar, accruals, intercompany eliminations, FX, audit and investor requests.

• People / HR: headcount planning, hiring approvals, and compensation modelling for AOP and forecasts.
• One or Few Department heads e.g. Engineering, Product, IT, Cloud, Customer Success, and G&A: budget reviews, investment cases, and vendor spending.

3. SaaS metrics, KPI framework, and benchmarking

• Support the calculation and governance of core SaaS KPIs — ARR, NRR/GDR, bookings, CAC, payback, EBITDA, and Rule of 40 — with documented definitions.
• Maintain the weekly and monthly KPI tracker; reconcile Salesforce and finance data so that GTM and Finance report a single number.
• Benchmark Decisions against public and private SaaS peers on growth, efficiency, and margin metrics to inform targets.
• Flag inconsistencies, data breaks, and definitional drift before they reach leadership forums.

4. Cross-team collaboration and business partnering

• Serve as corporate finance partner for one or more functions (for example Engineering, Product, Customer Success, IT, Cloud, or G&A): monthly reviews, headcount requests, vendor spend, and investment cases.
• Run a regular cadence with Accounting to align on close timing, accruals, and reclasses, and with RevOps on data governance for revenue metrics.
• Translate business questions into analysis and present findings clearly to non-finance stakeholders; challenge assumptions constructively.
• Support vendor consolidation and cost optimization initiatives with spend analytics and savings tracking, working with Accounting and Systems.

5. Reporting infrastructure and projects

• Design and build source-of-truth reports in Excel and Power BI; drive the migration of recurring MIS to a stable, documented report library.
• Partner with Accounting and Systems on the chart of accounts redesign, and Join consolidation.
• Own medium-sized FP&A projects end to end — scope, stakeholders, timeline, delivery — and report progress to the Head of FP&A.
• Automate recurring work using Power BI, structured Excel, and AI tools such as Claude, Microsoft Copilot and raise the team's standards for documentation.

6. Team leadership

• Coach and review the work of the Interns, and Junior FP&A Analyst; act as onboarding buddy for new team members.
