Job description

This is a Senior Financial Analyst role for the person who reads footnotes, because at Public Affairs Institute the footnotes matter. For the proudly-nerdy Senior Financial Analyst with 6 years, Public Affairs Institute answers with $111,000 - $157,000, a contract setup, and a ladder built for climbing.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage fixed-asset schedules, depreciation, and capital expenditure tracking
• Sit with sales on deal structure before the candor-rich contract is signed
• Build the Financial Modeling model that finally retires the manual workbook
• Trim days off the AP cycle without straining a single vendor
• Forecast headcount cost as Public Affairs Institute scales through Carmel, IN
• Stand up the Workday Adaptive Planning close calendar and hold every owner to it
• Build variance commentary executives actually read top to bottom

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator who makes the senior review feel less like an exam
• 5+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
• 6 years of Excel práctica, plus a hunger for what's next
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
• Calm under the empathy-led chaos a senior role tends to generate
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

Long before finance was fashionable, Public Affairs Institute was already solving it for businesses scattered across IN. Here, ownership means you're empowered to fix what's broken without waiting for permission.
