Senior Finance Manager

LaSalle Network has partnered with a high-growth, private equity–backed SaaS company headquartered in downtown Chicago, seeking a Senior Finance Manager to join their lean, high-impact finance team. This role sits at the center of the business and offers direct exposure to executive leadership and investors.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy owning models end-to-end, and want a seat at the table as strategic decisions are made, this is an opportunity to step into a visible, career-accelerating role.

Base salary for this role is budgeted up to a base of $195,000+ commensurate with experience, eligible for additional bonuses, and will primarily sit in their Chicago Loop office. A comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical / dental / vision insurance, and 401(k) to eligible employees is offered as well.

Responsibilities:

• Own all financial models internally, including operating models, forecasts, budgets, and long-range planning
• Serve as a key finance partner to our PE sponsors, supporting investor reporting, board materials, and ad-hoc analysis
• Lead and manage day-to-day FP&A, including monthly variance analysis, KPI tracking, and performance insights
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Operations to support growth initiatives and improve unit economics
• Analyze SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, CAC, LTV, cohort performance) and translate data into clear recommendations
• Support strategic initiatives such as pricing analysis, new product launches, and M&A integration

Required Skillset:

• 7+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, or PE-backed operating companies. Candidates MUST have experience working at a PE-backed software company.
• Strong financial modeling skills with the ability to build and maintain models from scratch
• Experience interfacing with senior leadership and/or investors; PE-backed or SaaS experience is a strong plus
• Candidates MUST have experience owning SaaS specific metrics previously.
• High attention to detail with the confidence to operate independently
• Excellent communication skills — able to tell a clear story with numbers
• Advanced Excel proficiency; familiarity with SaaS analytics tools is a bonus

Why Join:

• Direct exposure to private equity investors and executive leadership
• True ownership — this is not a “plug-and-play” manager role
• Opportunity to influence strategy at a critical growth stage
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Work model in downtown Chicago

This role is ideal for someone ready to step into a visible, high-responsibility finance seat and grow with a scaling SaaS business.

Thank You,
