We Are:

We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow.
You Are:
You’ve built your career on making sense of numbers that actually drive the business, not just fill a spreadsheet. You see patterns in financial data before most people finish pulling the report. You have a knack for spotting risks and surfacing opportunities, and you enjoy being the person leadership trusts to flag what matters most—early. You thrive on variety: one day you’re dissecting a budget with Anaplan, the next you’re building a model in Excel that helps set the long-term strategy. You don’t just run reports, you turn analysis into action and know how to frame recommendations so decision-makers pay attention. You’re comfortable digging in on your own but know when to bring people together for clarity or buy-in. You like working with tools that make your job more efficient, and you’re always experimenting with new ways to visualize the story behind the numbers. Accuracy is your baseline, integrity is your standard, and you’re happiest when you know your work has a direct line to business results. At Synopsys, you’ll find a finance team that values your initiative and a company where your analysis shapes what happens next.
What You'll Be Doing:
Guiding the FP&A team to deliver accurate monthly forecasts that actually help hit annual financial targets, not just check a box
Consolidating and reviewing budgets and forecasts so leadership gets a clear, aligned view of where things stand
Reporting actuals, working side by side with partners across FP&A to explain variances in plain language, not just numbers
Surfacing unexpected expenses, risks, or opportunities to leadership before they become surprises
Leading ad hoc financial projects and deep-dive analyses that inform key business decisions
Using tools like Anaplan, SAP, Oracle, and Excel to build dashboards and models that make complex data easy to act on
Running variance analyses, tracking KPIs, and recommending process tweaks for more efficient operations
Developing long-term financial projections and building models that help set Synopsys’ strategic direction
Collaborating with accounting to make sure financial reporting is both compliant and right the first time
Driving improvements in reporting, creating standard and custom dashboards that bring transparency to the numbers

Shape Synopsys’ financial strategy through sharp, actionable budgeting, forecasting, and reporting
Enable sustainable growth and efficiency by translating analysis into clear business recommendations
Increase transparency for leadership with dashboards and reports that cut through the noise
Build trust with stakeholders by consistently delivering reliable, insightful financial guidance
Keep Synopsys’ financial reporting accurate and compliant, protecting the company’s reputation
Push the team toward continuous improvement in both tools and processes, not just status quo
Help Synopsys stay agile by identifying trends, risks, and opportunities before they show up on the P&L
What You'll Need:
At least 8 years in Financial Planning & Analysis, with a track record in high-tech or complex business environments
MBA or CPA preferred, but deep hands-on FP&A expertise is essential

Strong grounding in general accounting, expense analysis, and capex analysis
Proven ability to turn complex data into insights and recommendations leadership can use
Comfort preparing and presenting financial information to senior stakeholders
Experience building financial models for long-term planning is a strong plus
Who You Are:
You spot what’s important in a wall of numbers and make sure the right people see it in time
You can explain a complex financial tradeoff to a business leader in two sentences without missing the nuance
You’re relentless about accuracy and don’t let details slip, even under deadline
You’re proactive—always looking ahead to anticipate needs, risks, and opportunities
You build genuine relationships with business partners and know how to earn trust quickly
You adapt easily when priorities shift and help the team do the same
