About the role
We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, SoFi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Seattle, Washington D.C., Raleigh, London, and Amsterdam. We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join the Corporate Finance team. This is the strategic, externally-oriented arm of the team — covering the board process, long range planning, capital structure, SBC and equity modeling, and enterprise-level financial strategy. You will partner closely with the CFO, Leadership, the Board, Corp Dev, and Accounting on the decisions that shape Plaid’s long-term financial trajectory. What excites us: - 5+ years of work experience including financial planning & analysis, corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, strategic finance, or management consulting — ideally with tech, SaaS, or fintech exposure. - Advanced financial modeling skills, with hands-on experience building long range, scenario/sensitivity, or valuation models. - Strong command of consolidated financial statements, key SaaS / fintech operating metrics, and external benchmarking. - Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to move fluidly between granular model detail and an executive-level narrative for senior leaders and the Board. - Proven ability to partner cross-functionally and distill complex, ambiguous topics into structured frameworks and clear recommendations. - Proactive self-starter with intellectual curiosity, a can-do attitude, and the ability to thrive in a high-autonomy, fast-paced environment. - Passion for leveraging AI, automation, and systems thinking to drive operational excellence, improve financial processes, and build scalable planning and decision report frameworks. What excites you: - Own components of Plaid’s 3–5 year long range plan — model design, scenario analysis, and translation of company strategy into financial targets. - Partner on end-to-end PMO of the quarterly Board process, including framework development, narrative ownership, materials build, and Q&A management. - Build and operationalize SBC and equity modeling, incorporating HC growth, grant cadence, forfeitures, and refresh cycles — and tie SBC into the path to GAAP profitability, EBITDA, and margin analysis. - Lead consolidated cash flow forecasting and contingency / management reserve strategy, and run total company forecast reviews against company targets. - Drive external benchmarking against peer companies on key financial and non-financial metrics, and build the analytical foundations that inform long-term capital and operating decisions. - Partner with Corp Dev on capital raise activities, including pro-forma reporting, forecasting, and capital structure analysis. - Perform ad hoc analyses that influence long-term business planning and decision-making. Our mission at Plaid is to unlock financial freedom for everyone. To support that mission, we seek to build a diverse team of driven individuals who care deeply about making the financial ecosystem more equitable. We recognize that strong qualifications can come from both prior work experiences and lived experiences. We en
