Position Summary

The Senior Analyst – FP&A is a key analytical resource within BH’s FP&A team. This role owns expense planning, variance analysis, and Workday Adaptive model integrity, while serving as the day-to-day business partner to functional department heads. The role will work directly with the Director of Finance at BH and interface regularly with the Pretium FP&A team.

Essential Job Functions

Expense Planning & Variance Analysis Own the detailed monthly and quarterly expense variance analysis across all operating cost categories (compensation, G&A, corporate overhead, shared services allocations). Develop structured, driver-based expense commentary that clearly distinguishes timing variances from structural shifts. Prepare Pretium-ready expense bridges for monthly and quarterly reporting packages. Workday Adaptive Planning Ownership Serve as the primary functional owner of BH’s Workday Adaptive Planning environment. Build, maintain, and improve driver-based compensation and non-compensation expense models, including tech vendor expense tracking, budget templates and rolling forecast (3+9, 8+4) structures. Ensure model integrity across dimensions (department, cost center, FRE vs. non-FRE treatment) and manage version control through planning cycles. Partner with the FP&A Automation & Reporting functions to ensure Adaptive data flows correctly into downstream reporting.

Budget & Reforecast Execution Apply a driver-based modeling discipline throughout — ensuring every budget, reforecast, and actuals comparison is structured so variances can be explained by underlying business drivers rather than line-item deltas. Lead the expense build for annual operating plan and reforecast cycles — from template setup through final submission. Coordinate with HR, department heads, and corporate services to gather accurate headcount and non-compensation assumptions. Maintain compensation walk documentation (budget vs. forecast vs. actuals) at the employee and position level.

Business Partnering & Ad Hoc Support Act as a key FP&A contact for BH functional leaders and the Pretium finance team — translating operational activity into timely, well-supported financial analysis. Respond to ad hoc expense questions in a timely manner with clear, well-supported analysis. Support client profitability analysis, cost allocation reviews, strategic planning, and special projects as assigned by the Director of Finance.

FRE Reporting Support Ensure expense line items are correctly classified under BH’s FRE definition (GAAP vs. management basis; FRE vs. non-FRE accounts). Flag new or reclassified GL accounts for treatment review and coordinate updates to Workday Adaptive Support monthly FRE reporting package preparation in advance of Pretium deliverable deadlines.

Key Performance Metrics

Quality, accuracy, and timeliness of monthly expense variance commentary. Workday Adaptive model reliability across budget and reforecast cycles.

Excellent written communication — able to translate line-item data into concise, executive-ready narrative. Comfortable operating in a lean team environment with high ownership and fast turnaround expectations.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with FRE (Fee‑Related Earnings) as a performance metric in an alternative asset management context.
