Position Status:
This position is not eligible for sponsorship; US Citizenship or Green Card is required.
Base Salary:
$95,000 – $120,000 per year (plus benefits).
About the Role We’re hiring a Senior Financial Analyst to join a dynamic Corporate FP&A team supporting enterprise‑wide financial planning, strategy, and decision‑making. This is more than a reporting role; it’s your chance to become a key partner to business leadership and help drive real operational and strategic outcomes.
What You’ll Do
Support and enhance annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and monthly variance analysis.
Build and maintain 3‑statement financial models (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) for forecasting and scenario “what if” analysis.
Own portions of the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), partnering with cross‑functional teams to align assumptions and inputs.
Drive key elements of the month‑end close process, including accruals, cost allocations, and journal reclassifications.
Prepare and deliver monthly management reporting packages with insights, commentary, and executive‑level dashboards.
Consolidate and analyze P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow data across business units to explain financial performance.
Analyze revenue drivers: price, volume, and mix across product lines, customers, and regions.
Conduct SG&A and operating expense analysis to identify trends and cost‑saving opportunities.
Evaluate gross margin, contribution margin, and unit economics to guide pricing and product strategy.
Track capital expenditures (capex) vs. operating expenses (opex), including ROI of key investments.
Develop financial bridges and walk‑forwards (e.g., budget vs. forecast vs. actuals).
Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, Marketing, and Product to translate financial insights into decisions.
Contribute to M&A due diligence, integration planning, and strategic investment modeling.
Leverage financial systems (e.g., OneStream, Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, Power BI) to enhance reporting and forecasting accuracy.
Automate manual processes and continuously improve financial models and reporting frameworks.
What We’re Looking For
3–7 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or financial consulting.
Mix of both accounting and either corporate FP&A, commercial finance or operations finance would be ideal.
Strong understanding of financial statements, variance analysis, and business performance drivers.
Proven experience with financial modeling, 3‑statement models, and enterprise‑level planning tools.
Advanced Excel skills; experience with Power BI, Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, or similar is a plus.
Clear communicator with the ability to deliver insights to cross‑functional and executive stakeholders.
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field (MBA, MAcc, CPA, CFA, or CMA a plus).
Experience in manufacturing, retail, or consumer/industrial products preferred, but open to others with tangible product exposure.
Why This Role?
Impact – Partner with leaders, drive insights, and influence decisions.
Variety – Deep exposure to budgeting, forecasting, strategy, operations, sales, pricing, and special projects.
Career Path – Strong performers have a clear path to finance leadership.
Culture – High‑performing, collaborative, and growth‑focused environment.
Flexibility – Hybrid schedule with 2‑3 days onsite per week.
Ability to move around internally into other functional roles so that you continue to learn and grow.
Comp and Benefits
Target base salary of $95‑120k based on experience (if close, let’s talk).
Flexible work schedule – Hybrid (2‑3 days in the office) but you are welcome to go onsite every day if you want.
