Company mission
AlphaSense's mission is to organise the world’s business information and leverage technology to enable companies to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
Role
Who you are
- Technically excellent: 3+ years of finance experience, with meaningful time spent in FP&A or corporate finance; an early foundation in investment banking or transaction advisory is a plus. You build clean, driver-based financial models from scratch and can identify what actually moves the numbers
- Fluent in the three statements: You understand how the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow connect, and you are comfortable building and defending a cash flow forecast
- Systems- and data-minded: Expert in Excel; comfortable working across financial systems and data. Experience with Adaptive Insights, NetSuite, Tableau, or SQL / BI tools is a strong plus, and a willingness to get technical with data is expected
- Ready to build, not just report: You want ownership and are energized by helping stand up processes that scale, rather than running the same deck every month
- Collaborative: A trusted thought partner with exceptional written and verbal communication who works well across Finance, Accounting, HR, and the business
- Entrepreneurial: You thrive in a fast-paced, changing environment and can pivot from a detailed reconciliation to an executive-level insight without losing the thread
- Familiar with core accounting concepts and rules
What the job involves
- We are looking for an analytically rigorous, high-potential finance professional to own G&A expenses and cash flow analysis and support the FP&A leadership team in building out a scalable, IPO-ready finance function at AlphaSense
- This role is a strong fit for someone with hands-on FP&A or corporate finance experience — ideally built on an early foundation in investment banking or transaction advisory — who's looking to take on more ownership: building the models, seeing decisions through, and partnering directly with the leaders who act on the work
- You will bring first-class modeling and analytical discipline; we will give you the room to apply it to how the business actually runs and scales
- This is a high-visibility seat: you'll work directly with the CFO, SVP of Finance, and other senior leaders across the business, with regular exposure to executive-level decisions as we scale toward IPO
- Own monthly analysis, budgeting, and forecasting for G&A functions (e.g. Finance, Legal, HR, IT, Facilities), partnering with cost-center owners on spend vs. targets and trade-offs
- Build and maintain the company's cash flow forecast, including working capital, billings and collections, and liquidity analysis
- Support monthly close: analyze results, prepare variance explanations, and ensure accuracy of G&A expense and cash reporting
- Coordinate quarterly forecasts and the annual budget for your areas of ownership
- Partner cross-functionally with Accounting and Analytics to consolidate and interpret financial results
- Prepare and present executive and Board-level reporting and models — partnering directly with senior finance and business leaders, and getting real airtime to translate detail into decision-ready insight
- Contribute to finance-led process improvement and special projects as we drive toward IPO readiness
Our take
Manual research can be a serious pain: financial analysts spend hours every week searching through PDFs one keyword at a time, just to find a single usable insight. To remedy this, AlphaSense has built a smart search engine that slashes research time for analysts, using thousands of sources and a semantic indexing layer that can effectively query finance-specific language.
As a disruptor and market leader in this field, AlphaSense has few direct competitors, being most closely compared to Wolfram Alpha or LexisNexis. It helps that its tools are undoubtedly effective and valued by knowledge professionals: the company counts about 85% of the S&P 100 as customers and is trusted by J.P.Morgan, Microsoft, Credit Suisse and Google, among other major enterprises.
Having raised a large amount of funding over 2022 and 2023, AlphaSense has moved quickly to double down on its expansion in European markets, opening an office in Berlin to support this. With 2024 seeing investment from Singaporean EDBI, it has now set its sights on the Asia-Pacific region. As business intelligence will remain key for enterprises as they compete for market share, AlphaSense is well-placed for additional future growth.
