LHH is partnering with a growing, established organization in the Phoenix metro area seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join a highly visible finance and analytics team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into data, understanding what is driving business performance, and turning analysis into recommendations that leadership can actually use. You’ll work closely with senior and executive leaders, own meaningful analytical projects, and have the opportunity to influence financial and operational decisions. The ideal candidate is strong in Excel, understands budgeting and forecasting, communicates confidently, and has the initiative to take a problem from question to solution without needing constant direction.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own financial and business analysis projects from initial question through final recommendation
• Support budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and performance analysis
• Analyze revenue, pricing, operational trends, KPIs, and other business drivers
• Perform P&L and variance analysis and explain key trends to business leaders
• Develop financial models, reporting, dashboards, and decision-support tools
• Translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations
• Present findings to senior and executive leadership and confidently answer follow-up questions
• Partner cross-functionally with finance, operations, commercial, and other business teams
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting, processes, profitability, and overall business performance
• Support data integrity, financial controls, and recurring reporting activities

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related discipline
• Approximately 3+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, corporate finance, pricing/revenue analytics, or a closely related analytical role
• Strong Excel skills and overall comfort working with large or complex data sets
• Experience with budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, variance analysis, or business performance reporting
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence interacting with senior leaders and presenting financial insights
• Ability to independently own projects, prioritize competing deadlines, and drive work forward
• Proactive, curious mindset with a desire to understand the business behind the numbers

Nice to Have

• Master’s degree or MBA
• Experience with SQL, Power BI, Tableau, R, or similar analytical/reporting tools
• Experience within a complex, multi-site, operationally driven organization
• Exposure to pricing, revenue optimization, commercial finance, or market analysis
• Experience improving reporting or analytical processes

Why Consider It?

• Competitive six-figure base compensation with bonus potential
• High visibility and regular exposure to senior leadership
• Opportunity to independently own projects and make a measurable business impact
• Growing function with opportunities for continued professional development
• Strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Collaborative, high-performing team
• Fast-paced environment where strong analysts can have a voice and influence decisions
• Phoenix-area location with a modern, professional office environment

If you’re an analytical finance professional who wants more ownership, visibility, and influence than you have today, this could be an excellent next step.
