About the company

Sanctuary is a US-based real estate company building nature-led, wellness-centered communities. Our first project: 135 acres in the Texas Hill Country is designed around non-toxic materials, clean water and filtration, EMF-conscious design, preserved land, and masonry construction. We're a global team across 8 countries: designers, architects, engineers, and builders who think this is how people should live, not just where. Our ambition doesn't stop at one project: we're building Sanctuary as a brand that puts healthy, sovereign communities on the edge of every major city in the world.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior FP&A Specialist to help build stronger financial visibility, planning, and decision support across the business.

Sanctuary doesn't have a mature finance function yet - that's the job. You'll walk into a company with real complexity (multiple entities, active construction draws, lenders, vendors) and limited financial structure, and you'll be the person who brings order to it. If you've ever been the first finance hire somewhere, or the one person who turned a chaotic spreadsheet into a system a founder could actually run the business on, this is that role again - at a company building something real.

This isn't a role for someone who needs a manager to escalate to or an SOP handed to them on day one. It's for someone who sees a messy set of books and feels the pull to fix it, not avoid it.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain monthly financial tracking across the business

• Support budgeting, forecasting, and forward planning over the next 12-24 months

• Analyze spending trends and help leadership understand where money is going and what is coming next

• Support pricing-related analysis and decision-making

• Work closely with bookkeeping/accounting to ensure financial data is accurate, complete, and usable for planning

• Identify inconsistencies, gaps, or patterns in financial data and investigate them until resolved

• Organize financial information into clear, structured outputs for internal decision-making

• Support leadership with ad hoc financial analysis and planning requests

• Help improve overall financial visibility and discipline across the company

What we’re looking for

• 5-8 years of experience in FP&A, finance, financial analysis, or a similar role

• Real, specific experience building financial models, reporting, or planning processes from nothing, not just improving something that already existed

  Get Hired

  Deep fluency in both Excel and Google Sheets

• Comfortable with QuickBooks or similar accounting software

• Genuinely energized by ambiguity - you'd rather figure it out than wait to be told

• A clear, direct communicator who can explain messy numbers simply to a founder, not just to other finance people

• Strong opinions, loosely held - you take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks

Nice to have

• Experience in real estate, construction, or property-level finance (draws, vendor/contractor payments, project-level accounting)

• Direct experience shaping a pricing decision

• Experience across multiple company stages (seed through Series A+)

• You've written, spoken, or taught on startup finance — we like people who think about this stuff beyond just doing the job

Who this role is great for

This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys working with numbers, solving financial puzzles, and building clarity from complexity. It’s well suited to someone who notices when something doesn’t add up, digs until they understand why, and can translate financial information into useful planning and decision support.
