Job Description

We are looking for a Financial Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will transform financial and operational data into meaningful analysis that supports planning, reporting, and day-to-day business decisions. This opportunity is well suited for someone early in their career who enjoys working with data, building models, and partnering with cross-functional teams in a collaborative environment.


Responsibilities:

• Build financial models that support the annual budget process and ongoing forecast updates across the business.

• Review historical results and operating trends to create reliable projections and highlight emerging patterns.

• Work closely with department and operational leaders to provide financial insight that informs spending decisions and performance improvement efforts.

• Create and maintain reporting tools, dashboards, and spreadsheet-based analyses that give leadership clear visibility into key metrics.

• Conduct variance analysis to explain differences between actual results, budgets, and forecasts, and identify the primary business drivers behind those gaps.

• Use Excel, Power BI, and large data sets to streamline recurring reports and improve the efficiency and accuracy of financial reporting.

• Prepare ad hoc analyses and business case support for leadership as new questions, priorities, and opportunities arise.

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, analytics, or a closely related discipline.
• Approximately 1 to 4 years of experience in financial analysis, accounting, or a similar role involving regular data-driven decision support.
• Advanced Excel skills, including the ability to build models, work with complex formulas, and analyze large volumes of information.
• Familiarity with Power BI or another business intelligence platform used for reporting and visualization.
• Ability to interpret financial results and communicate findings clearly to stakeholders without technical finance backgrounds.
• Strong attention to detail, sound organizational skills, and a consistent approach to producing accurate work.
• Comfortable working with financial systems, large datasets, and multiple priorities in a team-oriented setting.
