• Support the monthly close process with financial reporting, variance analysis, and recommendations for improved forecast accuracy
• Help prepare board and executive-level materials by contributing to enterprise planning models and key corporate financial updates
• Build and maintain detailed financial models to support cross-functional strategic initiatives, investment decisions, and trade-off analyses
• Synthesize financial data from multiple systems, applying structured analytic thinking to deliver clear, concise reporting
• Identify and drive process improvements to increase the efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of financial planning and reporting workflows
• Support ad-hoc financial analysis and reporting requests as needed to inform business decisions

What You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related field (MBA or CPA a plus)
• 1–3 years of experience in financial analysis, corporate FP&A, or related fields
• Solid understanding of financial statements, GAAP accounting principles, and corporate planning processes
• Advanced Excel modeling skills; familiarity with financial planning tools (e.g., Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, Oracle Cloud) a plus
• Experience partnering with G&A or shared services teams on budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting
• Ability to work with large datasets and apply structured, analytic thinking to deliver clear business insights
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain financial concepts to non-financial stakeholders
• Ownership mentality, proactive problem-solving orientation, and strong attention to detail
• Comfortable operating independently and collaboratively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• Experience with financial systems integration, cash flow forecasting, and reporting automation is a plus
