If you're energized by solving complex business problems, influencing decisions, and leveraging technology to work smarter, we'd love to meet you.

- Support the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes.
- Maintain and enhance revenue reporting packages and develop an understanding of the company's revenue streams to support reporting and analysis.
- Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting, dashboards, and executive presentations.
- Build and maintain practical financial models and perform ad hoc analyses to support business decisions.
- Partner with Accounting during the monthly close process to ensure accurate financial reporting.
- Leverage AI tools such as Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, or Microsoft Copilot to improve financial analysis, reporting, and process efficiency, including experience with Claude plugins.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.
- 4–6 years of experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Financial Planning & Analysis.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including financial modeling, PivotTables, lookup functions, and data analysis.
- Experience with budgeting, forecasting, operating expense management, variance analysis, and financial reporting.
- Ability to build and maintain practical financial models and reporting tools.
- Strong communication and presentation skills.
