Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis $200,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
This role redefines traditional FP&A—it's financial operations built for decision-makers who move fast.
2 Hour Learning is creating a network of schools that function on speed and clarity. We operate with urgency, making decisions every day, and we require financial insight that matches that tempo. You won't spend time analyzing outdated budgets or depending on business intelligence teams. Instead, you'll design the models, reporting systems, and financial controls that deliver the visibility operators and leadership need to act with confidence—every single day. Your contributions will influence everything from new school openments to strategic direction shifts, and they must be timely, precise, and reliable.
You will lead a dynamic, AI-enhanced finance infrastructure. This includes building integrated profit and loss models for every school and business unit. You'll maintain rolling forecasts spanning 12 to 18 months, refreshed to reflect reality within 72 hours. Your dashboards will isolate the handful of critical drivers that truly influence outcomes. AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Copilot will be central to your workflow, helping you accelerate insight generation and remove friction. You're not tasked with engineering systems from the ground up—you're leveraging available technology to deliver results faster.
This position is not suited for finance leaders who thrive in hierarchical, process-heavy environments. It's designed for experienced professionals who are tired of bureaucracy and drawn to velocity. You rely on AI to increase throughput and expect your financial models to shape action, not merely document history. You won't observe from the periphery. You'll be embedded in the core of how decisions are made and executed.
What you will be doing
- Develop and sustain live 3-statement financial models for every school and vertical, linking enrollment trends, workforce planning, and capital expenditures into unified forecasts.
- Refresh rolling 12 to 18 month projections each week with current data and run scenario analyses to evaluate upside opportunities and downside exposures.
- Produce executive reporting dashboards powered by real-time data, surfacing critical decision levers and enabling leadership to act with confidence on a daily basis.
- Apply AI-powered tools to speed up analytical workflows, identify data outliers, monitor budget variances, and remove manual spreadsheet inefficiencies from finance operations.
- Author concise strategic memos that distill financial risks, present decision options, and outline budget trade-offs at board quality, delivered within 72 hours of request.
What you will NOT be doing
- Running lengthy budget cycles or generating static reports that go unused—your forecasts adapt continuously with the business, and your analysis directly informs decisions within days.
- Enforcing expense approvals or tracking down individual receipts—your focus is strategic clarity and financial control, not administrative overhead.
- Depending on BI or analytics teams to build your tools—you'll construct the dashboards, models, and reporting systems yourself.
- Sifting through irrelevant detail—your mission is to extract the handful of insights that shift direction and outcomes.
- Developing automation infrastructure from the ground up—you'll leverage AI platforms to enhance productivity, not build technology stacks.
Key responsibilities
Provide continuously updated financial models, forecasts, and executive dashboards that enable daily decision-making and strategic visibility across a fast-scaling school network.
Candidate requirements
- Willing to work at least 3 hours of daily overlap with US business hours (08:00 - 17:00 US EST / UTC-5)

- Proven experience building integrated 3-statement models tied to U.S. GAAP
- Comfortable delivering investor-grade analysis and recommendations under tight deadlines
- Experience using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude) to accelerate financial analysis, document generation, and data processing
Nice to have
- CPA/CFA/MBA certification

- Experience building AI-automated dashboards or low-code finance tools
- Exposure to high-end service environments with exacting financial standards
