Job Description
LaSalle Network has partnered with a high-growth, private equity–backed SaaS company headquartered in downtown Chicago, seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join their lean, high-impact finance team. This role sits at the center of the business and offers direct exposure to executive leadership and investors.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy owning models end-to-end, and want a seat at the table as strategic decisions are made, this is an opportunity to step into a visible, career-accelerating role.
Base salary for this role is budgeted up to a base of $150,000+ commensurate with experience, eligible for additional bonuses, and will primarily sit in their Chicago Loop office. A comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical / dental / vision insurance, and 401(k) to eligible employees is offered as well.
Responsibilities:
- Own all financial models internally , including operating models, forecasts, budgets, and long-range planning
- Serve as a key finance partner to our PE sponsors , supporting investor reporting, board materials, and ad-hoc analysis
- Lead day-to-day FP&A , including monthly variance analysis, KPI tracking, and performance insights
- Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Operations to support growth initiatives and improve unit economics
- Analyze SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, CAC, LTV, cohort performance) and translate data into clear recommendations
- Support strategic initiatives such as pricing analysis, new product launches, and M&A integration
Required Skillset:
- 5+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or PE-backed operating companies. Candidates MUST have experience working at a PE backed software company.
- Strong financial modeling skills with the ability to build and maintain models from scratch

- Excellent communication skills — able to tell a clear story with numbers

Why Join:
