This is a hands-on FP&A role with significant exposure across the business. You will own financial analysis, forecasting, and reporting for R&D, maintain detailed cost and headcount models, and act as a trusted business partner to Product and Engineering leaders. Your work will directly support strategic decisions on product development, resourcing and long-term technology investment — helping to shape the future of Intercom.

• Contribute to monthly and quarterly close and reporting, supporting consolidation and preparation of Executive Team and Board reporting materials.

• Partner with senior leaders to explain financial results, variances, and trends, and provide actionable insights.

• Work closely with Accounting to ensure accurate and timely:

• R&D tax credit submissions

• Capitalization of internal-use software

• IDA grant tracking

• Develop financial models and ad-hoc analyses to assess the impact of strategic product and technology decisions.

• Identify, measure, and monitor key performance indicators, collaborating with business partners to improve financial performance.

• Support and drive improvements to financial systems, processes, and frameworks to increase accuracy, efficiency, and insight.

• Participate in cross-functional and corporate initiatives, bringing a finance perspective to decision-making.

What Skills Do I Need?

• 3+ years of experience in FP&A or corporate finance, ideally within software / SaaS environments.

• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills, with a proven ability to build structured, dynamic financial models.

• Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.

• A self-starter mindset — comfortable working independently and taking ownership end-to-end.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.

• High standards of professionalism, integrity, and confidentiality.

• Experience with ERP systems & planning tools (e.g Pigment, Netsuite) a strong advantage.

Experience with SQL, Tableau, or other BI tools is a strong advantage.
