POSITION SUMMARY

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Financial Planning & Analysis is the CFO’s right hand and the financial backbone of a fast-moving, highly decentralized live events business.
You will own the company’s budgeting, forecasting, and management-reporting engine — bringing structure and clarity to a complex, multi-entity organization of 20+ brands producing over 500 events annually — while partnering closely with creative and operational leaders who are not accustomed to numbers or P&L ownership.
This is a hands-on role for a researcher, communicator, and problem-solver who genuinely enjoys bringing order to fast-growing organizations.

 
ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

►  Partner with the CFO as a trusted right hand on financial strategy, process, analysis, and day-to-day decision support across the business.
►  Own the annual budget. Serve as the primary, front-line leader of the annual budgeting process end to end — building the calendar, driving departmental input, consolidating, and presenting the plan to leadership.
►  Run cash forecasting. Build, maintain, and continually refine cash forecasts and liquidity analyses to guide decision-making.
►  Be the Planful expert. Own the company’s Planful environment — models, templates, and reporting — and drive its effective use across the organization.
►  Support the board and leadership. Prepare board decks, quarterly reporting packages, and executive materials with clear, decision-ready narratives.
►  Maintain the cap table. Build and maintain the company’s cap table and support related equity, financing, and scenario analyses.
►  Bring order to a decentralized business. Partner with leaders across multiple entities, events, and venues to create consistency, structure, and visibility into the numbers.
►  Translate finance for non-finance audiences. Make budgets, forecasts, and financial concepts genuinely understandable to creative and production staff with no financial background.
►  Guard data integrity. Rigorously pressure-test inputs — identify, question, and correct flawed or inconsistent data before it reaches leadership.
►  Lead and develop talent. Manage and grow one senior direct report (e.g., a Senior Manager of FP&A).
►  Drive projects. Lead cross-functional finance initiatives from scoping through delivery with strong project-management discipline.
►  Collaborate coast to coast. Work closely with the West Coast accounting team to keep planning and the books fully aligned.
 
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

►  12–15 years of progressive FP&A experience, including a senior leadership role.
►  Experience in businesses generating $50M–$200M in annual revenue.
►  Direct experience in the live events industry.
►  Proven track record building financial structure and process within highly decentralized, multi-entity organizations.
►  Experience as the primary, front-line leader of an annual budgeting process.
►  Demonstrated expertise developing and managing cash forecasts.
►  Expert-level proficiency with Planful (required).
►  Hands-on experience with Ramp and NetSuite.
►  East Coast based, with the flexibility to collaborate with a West Coast accounting team across time zones.
PREFERRED
►  CFA designation (strongly preferred).
►  Wall Street experience — investment banking, equity research, or capital markets.
►  Experience building and maintaining cap tables.
►  A strong research orientation and natural analytical curiosity.
 
SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

►  Exceptional communication skills, including the ability to make finance accessible to non-financial, creative audiences.
►  Strong project-management skills and a record of delivering complex initiatives.
►  Skilled at managing up and supporting an executive team and board effectively.
►  A persistent problem-solver who finds a way and follows through to resolution.
►  Highly organized, with a bias for structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
►  Detail-obsessed about data integrity and accuracy.
►  A low-ego, trusted partner who builds credibility across finance, operations, and creative teams.
 
OUR CULTURE COMES FIRST — THE G-I-F-T-S OF DANCE

►  GRATITUDE — We lead with appreciation for each other, for our dancers and community, and for the opportunity to do meaningful work.
►  INNOVATION — We embrace change and challenge the status quo. We believe innovation drives growth, excellence, and impact.
►  FUN — We bring joy to everything we do. Fun energizes our teams and strengthens our connections.
►  TRUST — Trust empowers us to collaborate, take risks, and support one another — on and off the dance floor.
►  SAFETY — We put safety first, always. We create environments where dancers, employees, and spectators feel secure and supported.
 
BENEFITS & PERKS

►  Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
►  401(k) with generous employer match
►  2+ weeks of vacation, plus PTO and Paid Holidays
►  Company-paid Life and Disability coverage
►  Employee Assistance Program and wellness resources
►  Career growth opportunities within a fast-growing national organization
►  Discounts and access across the DanceOne family of brands and events
