Job Description

Financial Analyst

Point Quest Group | Denver, CO or (Hybrid) | Reports to Director of FP&A

About Us

Point Quest Group is a private equity-backed, multi-entity platform delivering special education and related services to school districts and charter schools. We partner with more than 360 districts and charters, supporting thousands of students ages 3-22 each year, and we're scaling rapidly through organic growth and acquisition - building the systems, team, and discipline of a much larger company than we are today.

The Opportunity

This is a hands‑on analyst role for someone who wants to understand how the business actually makes money - not just report the numbers, but explain what's driving them. In a staffing‑driven services business, that means connecting operational metrics like utilization, fill rate, bill/pay spread, and contract margin to the financial results leadership acts on.

Reporting to the Director of FP&A, you'll be in the model every day: building forecasts, preparing the monthly reporting package, digging into variances, and turning raw data into analysis that division leaders use to run their P&Ls.

If you want a role where your analysis informs real decisions, you'll get broad exposure across a growing multi‑entity platform, and your work supports services that change outcomes for kids - this is that seat.

What You'll Do

Planning & Forecasting

• Build and maintain driver-based models for the annual operating plan and rolling forecast across divisions and entities.
• Translate operational assumptions - headcount, utilization, fill rate, bill/pay rates, ramp curves - into revenue, margin, and EBITDA outcomes.
• Validate forecast inputs with division leaders and track forecast-to-actual accuracy every cycle.
• Run scenario and sensitivity analyses to support planning decisions.

Reporting & Variance Analysis

• Prepare the monthly reporting package for leadership - key metrics, trends, and variances, clearly presented.
• Analyze results versus budget, forecast, and prior period, and explain the "why" behind every meaningful swing.
• Support Board, lender, and sponsor reporting with accurate, well-documented analysis.
• Partner with Accounting to reconcile actuals and keep financial and operational data aligned.

Business Partnership & Decision Support

• Work directly with division and operations leaders to understand their business and deliver targeted analysis.
• Build contract economics, pricing, and margin analyses that inform operational decisions.
• Turn ad hoc questions into clear answers - quickly, accurately, and with a recommendation where it's warranted.
• Support M&A diligence and post-close performance tracking as new entities join the platform.

Systems, Data & Process Improvement

• Build scalable models and reports in Excel, leveraging Power Query, Power Pivot, and advanced formulas.
• Pull and structure data from NetSuite and operational systems; build and maintain dashboards for KPI visibility.
• Identify and automate the manual, error‑prone steps in reporting and forecasting, and document the process behind your work.

What You'll Need

• Solid, hands‑on experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or a similar analytical finance role.
• Advanced Excel skills - financial modeling, PivotTables, lookups, and comfort with Power Query and/or Power Pivot.
• A strong grasp of the three financial statements and how operational drivers flow through them.
• The ability to turn data into a clear story - in a spreadsheet, a slide, or a conversation with a non-finance leader.
• A collaborative communicator who reaches across divisions and departments - no siloed work here.
• Strong attention to detail paired with the judgment to know which numbers matter most.
• A self-starter who follows through without needing reminders and is comfortable with shifting priorities.
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a private equity-backed or multi‑entity environment.
• Background in staffing, healthcare, education, or another services business where labor drives the P&L.
• Hands‑on experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP.
• Experience with a planning/EPM tool and BI/dashboarding tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• Exposure to M&A diligence, integration, or post-close tracking.

Location & Work Arrangement

This is a hybrid role based in Denver, CO. We expect you to come into the office as needed to collaborate in person with the broader finance team - particularly around month-end reporting, budget season, and key planning moments. The cadence is flexible and built around the work, not the calendar.

Why You'll Like It Here

Mission that matters - every entity on this platform serves students who need real support.

Real impact - your analysis goes straight to the leaders making the decisions.

Broad exposure - operations, pricing, planning, Board reporting, and M&A, all in one seat.
