Vetting

How TTR vets FP&A analysts

Planning ownership: agree inputs, reporting lines and how the person works with accounting and functional leaders.

Who it's for

Who this search is for

For founders who need planning and financial decision support, with ownership distinct from accounting and the close.

  • Recently funded

    Venture-backed or early-stage companies hiring after a raise.

  • Under 50 employees preferred

    The best-fit company profile.

  • Under 200 employees maximum

    Past that size, a different search model may fit better.

  • Built for founders

    TTR runs specialist search for founders of venture-backed and early-stage companies.

Board-level mandates at established companies may suit a retained firm better. The retained search comparison sets out where that line falls.

FAQ

Questions about hiring FP&A analysts

Does FP&A replace a financial controller?

No. Planning and analysis are distinct from accounting ownership. Use the financial controller search when reporting and controls are the primary need.

What should I bring to the intro call?

Bring the decisions the forecast needs to support, the current sources of data and the gaps in planning ownership.
