Company mission
Thumbtack's mission is to help homeowners care for their homes, all the way from minor retouching to fundamental remodelling projects.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or management consulting, with meaningful time spent in a corporate or consolidated finance function
- Excellent financial modeling skills in Excel and Google Sheets, with the judgment to know when a model should be simple and when it should not
- Demonstrated experience applying AI tools to real finance workflows, and a point of view on where they help and where they do not
- A track record of building management and Board-level reporting, including the written narrative that goes with the numbers
- Strong written and verbal communication, with experience presenting to senior executives
- Hands-on experience with EPM and ERP systems such as Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, Pigment, Aleph, Oracle Planning & Business Systems, NetSuite, SAP
- Comfort querying data directly - SQL or equivalent - enough to validate revenue forecasting and funnel inputs without a handoff
What the job involves
- As Corporate FP&A Manager, you will own the consolidated view of Thumbtack’s P&L — the forecast, the annual plan, and the reporting that goes to our leadership team and Board
- This is a high-scope individual contributor role with direct exposure to the CFO and the Finance leadership team
- You will also help rebuild how the work gets done: we are actively replacing manual FP&A processes with AI-assisted workflows, and we want someone who is excited to lead that, not just tolerate it. If you want to sit close to the decisions and help build a finance function that is ready for the next stage of the company, this is that seat
- Own the consolidated monthly and quarterly P&L close process for FP&A, including forecasting, variance analysis, and the narrative that explains what actually happened
- Run the annual budgeting cycle end to end, from bottoms-up build through executive review
- Build management and Board-level reporting, including Board decks, quarterly outlooks, and analysis that supports investor conversations
- Apply AI and workflow automation to core FP&A processes, replacing manual reporting and reconciliation work with something faster and more reliable
- Collaborate across Business Finance, Strategic Finance, Accounting, and Business Analytics to keep one consistent view of the numbers
- Lead ad hoc analyses and scenario modeling for the CFO and the leadership team on the questions that matter most that quarter
- Partner closely with Revenue Forecasting and serve as backup on the revenue and funnel forecast, including the weekly outlook and revenue flash
Our take
ThumbTack is a local services marketplace app that pairs customers with skilled professionals. Instead of simply searching for a professional, users provide ThumbTack with details of the job they need completing and the professionals then pitch their services to the potential customer using credits. ThumbTack makes its money by charging the professional for these credits.
It positions itself as something a little different in a saturated local services space that is dominated by companies like Angie’s List, TaskRabbit, Yelp, eBay, and Amazon. It also focuses on a broad range of professionals, from traditional home services like electricians and painters to photographers, personal trainers, and birthday party magicians.
The COVID-19 pandemic saw a boost in business for ThumbTack as more people stayed at home and made changes to their properties, increasing the demand for home professionals. In fact, after 2019, the company doubled in value to $3.2 billion with its 2021 raise. Since its 2024 funding round, its updated app has 30 new features, and the company is partnering with the likes of trade-powering platform and Unicorn ServiceTitan, indicating Thumbtack's sustained sway in the market.
