• Work with Accounting and FP&A to ensure financial actuals are accurately reflected in forecasts and planning activities.

• Build clear explanations of performance across the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.

• Support the development of stronger balance sheet and cash flow forecasting and analysis.

• Monitor important financial and operating KPIs and communicate trends to stakeholders.

• Support capital planning, CAPEX analysis, fixed-asset reporting, project schedules, and related rollforwards.

• Prepare financial analysis and supporting materials for leadership discussions and presentations.

• Work directly with business partners to investigate financial results and answer reporting-related questions.

• Conduct accounting research when needed and contribute to technical accounting documentation.

• Provide ad hoc analysis to help leadership evaluate business opportunities and financial decisions.

• Identify opportunities to streamline recurring reporting through better processes, automation, and financial systems.

• Help strengthen the connection between Accounting, FP&A, and business operations as the organization continues to grow.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.

• At least 3 years of progressive experience within financial reporting, accounting, FP&A, or a related finance function.

• Demonstrated ability to analyze financial results and explain meaningful budget and forecast variances.

• Strong understanding of GAAP and core financial reporting concepts.

• Experience participating in monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting cycles.

• Ability to create management reporting or MD&A-style analysis that turns financial data into an understandable narrative.

• Strong Excel capabilities, including Pivot Tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, and SUMIFS.

• Experience working with ERP, business intelligence, or financial reporting platforms; exposure to Sage Intacct or Domo is beneficial.

• Public accounting experience is strongly preferred.

• CPA designation is welcomed but not required.

• Strong written communication skills and the ability to present financial information clearly to different audiences.

• Ability to work effectively with both Accounting and FP&A teams as well as non-finance business partners.

• A proactive approach to problem-solving, process improvement, and taking ownership of deliverables.

• Comfort working in an organization where priorities move quickly and reporting processes continue to evolve.
