Description

We are looking for a highly analytical, technology-forward Senior Financial Analyst to help improve financial visibility, accountability, and predictability across a multi-location business. This is not a traditional accounting role.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working with P&Ls, developing advanced Excel models, investigating changes in branch profitability, and using AI and business intelligence tools to automate reporting and uncover insights.

The goal is to provide leadership with better financial visibility to support faster, more informed decisions around operations, staffing, investments, and business growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with Accounting, Finance, Operations, and branch leadership to validate expenses, allocations, revenue, compensation, and other financial activity.
• Research and resolve discrepancies between expected and actual branch expenses.

  • Production and revenue forecasting

  • Marketing ROI
  • Office and occupancy costs
  • Margin sensitivity
  • Volume and profitability scenarios
• Create scenario models to evaluate potential changes in production, staffing, compensation, expenses, and other business variables.
• Analyze the financial impact of business decisions and identify opportunities to improve profitability and resource allocation.
• Determine break-even points, potential risks, and expected returns for proposed investments or initiatives.

• Design and maintain executive dashboards that turn complex financial information into simple, actionable insights.
• Develop branch scorecards that allow leadership to quickly identify:
  • Top and bottom-performing branches
  • Expense anomalies
  • Margin compression
  • Profitability trends
  • Cost-per-unit trends
  • Staffing efficiency
  • Production changes
  • Budget variances
  • Emerging financial risks
• Integrate financial and operational data from multiple systems wherever possible to reduce manual reporting.
• Build dashboards designed for decision-making rather than simply data presentation.

• Use AI tools to improve financial analysis, reporting, reconciliation, and forecasting.
• Identify repetitive financial processes that can be automated.
• Use modern AI tools to assist with:
  • Data analysis
  • Variance detection
  • Financial modeling
  • Dashboard development
  • Data cleanup
  • Reporting automation
  • Trend identification
  • Executive summaries
  • Forecasting and scenario analysis
• Continuously evaluate new tools and technologies that can improve the speed and accuracy of financial reporting.

• Strong working knowledge of AI tools and demonstrated ability to use AI to improve analytical or reporting workflows.

• Exceptional attention to detail, with the ability to identify inconsistencies and challenge questionable data.
