About BRAVAS

At BRAVAS, we transform homes into extraordinary living experiences. As the nation’s #1 luxury technology integrator, we design and deliver premium solutions - lighting, shades, A/V, networking, home automation, and more, that make life effortless, beautiful, and connected.

We partner with homeowners, architects, builders, and designers on some of the most spectacular homes in the country. And we’re growing.

The Role

The FP&A Analyst turns BRAVAS’s financial and operational data into clear, timely insight that helps leaders plan, prioritize, and grow profitably. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and partnering closely with Accounting, Operations, Sales, and location leadership, this role supports the annual budget, rolling forecasts, monthly variance analysis, and management reporting across BRAVAS locations. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports; it does not own the general ledger or month-end close, but it works hand in hand with Accounting to make sure every number ties out. This role blends analytical rigor with clear business communication: delivering accurate, on-time reports and models that location and executive leaders trust and act on, while embodying our six core values: collaborative, accountable, proactive, curious, passionate, and creative.

Responsibilities

• Build budgets and forecasts: Prepare the annual operating budget and monthly rolling forecasts for revenue, gross margin, labor, and operating expenses at the location and company level
• Analyze monthly results: Deliver budget-vs-actual and prior-period variance analysis each month, explaining the drivers behind revenue, margin, and expense movements in plain language
