Reporting & Analysis

• Prepare monthly financial and operational reporting packages for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring accuracy and a clear narrative.
• Produce committee (monthly) and board (quarterly) meeting materials, distilling complex data into executive-ready presentations.
• Support month-end close, including the company’s close package and P&L review, partnering with accounting to ensure results are properly reflected.
• Deliver ad-hoc financial and operational analyses that support executive and functional-leader decision-making.

Business Partnering & Process Improvement

• Act as a finance business partner to designated functions and cost centres, providing analysis, guidance, and challenge.
• Develop compelling, data-driven stories that translate the numbers into actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
• Identify and implement efficiency improvements across recurring workstreams, automating and streamlining reporting processes and models.
• Contribute to special projects and initiatives spanning corporate development, systems enhancements, and finance transformation.

What You’ll Bring

Experience & Education (Required)

• 6-8 years of relevant experience across Big 4, FP&A, or Corporate Finance.
• Master’s degree in finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• Advanced knowledge of accounting and finance principles, including the interplay of the three financial statements.
• Demonstrated experience in budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and management reporting.
• Mastery of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, with proven financial-modelling ability
• Experience within a professional services firm or a private-equity-backed portfolio company.
• Hands-on experience with Power BI, NetSuite, OpenAir, Adaptive, Anaplan, or similar planning / BI / reporting tools.
• Exposure to systems implementations or finance process automation.

Who You Are

• A sharp analytical thinker with strong attention to detail and a talent for solving complex problems.
• An excellent written and verbal communicator who can create compelling stories from data.
• Independent and self-motivated, with a passion for building and maintaining stakeholder relationships.
