About the Role

You’ve built financial models for different businesses, worked directly with clients or portfolio companies, and learned how to turn complex financial questions into practical recommendations.

At Limelight, you’ll bring that experience to help finance teams improve how they budget, forecast, and report.

We’re looking for a Senior Consultant, Financial Modeling & FP&A with experience in financial advisory, transaction advisory, private equity, venture capital, or a similar environment. You should have built models for multiple clients or portfolio companies, with the ability to understand a new business, identify its financial drivers, and design a model around them.

Using Limelight’s FP&A platform, you’ll turn that knowledge into connected planning models, reports, and dashboards. You’ll work directly with CFOs, Controllers, and business leaders, taking ownership of both the financial solution and the client relationship.

- Turn analysis into working solutions. Translate spreadsheet models and business requirements into scalable planning models within Limelight.
- Develop forecasts and scenarios. Help clients assess growth plans, hiring decisions, funding needs, and changes in business performance.
- Advise finance leaders. Explain assumptions, challenge inconsistencies, and recommend approaches that improve planning and decision-making.
- Manage client engagements. Own scope, timelines, deliverables, and communication across multiple projects.
- Deliver reliable results. Validate calculations, reconcile source data, and ensure models and reports work together accurately.
- Support client adoption. Train finance teams and help them confidently maintain and use the solutions you build.
