Senior Financial Analyst – Cost & Operational Finance | Xtreme Aviation
> Multi-Location Aviation MRO | Individual Contributor
We're looking for a hands-on, analytical self-starter to support financial analysis, cost management, and operational decision-making across our multi-location aviation MRO environment.
A key initial priority: developing and implementing job-level profitability and cost analysis — giving management greater visibility into labor, material, outside services, overhead, margins, and operational performance. You'll work closely with Finance, Accounting, Operations, Purchasing, and ERP/system resources to improve the quality and usefulness of our financial and operational information.
You'll:
• Develop and maintain job-level profitability reporting across the organization
• Develop labor costing, burden rate, and overhead allocation methodologies
• Evaluate actual job costs against estimates, quotes, and budgets, and identify significant variances
• Partner with Operations to identify the drivers behind unfavorable labor, material, and margin variances
• Take financial improvement initiatives from concept through implementation — requirements, methodology, testing, documentation, and monitoring
• Identify gaps in ERP data, processes, and controls, and recommend practical solutions
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling for operational decisions
• Present findings and recommendations to senior management
You bring:
• 3+ years in financial analysis, cost accounting, or operational finance (5+ preferred)
• Experience in a cost-accounting, job-costing, manufacturing, MRO, aerospace, or industrial environment
• Demonstrated experience developing or improving job costing, product costing, or project/operational profitability processes
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and financial modeling skills; Power BI or SQL highly desirable
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement new financial processes, not just maintain existing ones
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or related field
Prior aviation experience is beneficial but not required — candidates with strong cost-accounting and implementation experience from manufacturing, aerospace, industrial services, or other job-cost environments are encouraged to apply.
This is an individual contributor role with significant exposure to senior management and operational leadership — ideal for an analytical builder who's comfortable entering an environment where some processes are still being developed and taking ownership of the solution.
