Job description

Are you ready to work making the world a safer, healthier place? Join our mission to continuously move science forward; to innovate and advance all aspects of our business to improve the health and safety of our communities and lives.

Senior Financial Analyst, Corporate FP&A * Hybrid

Hybrid: This is a hybrid position working 3 days per week in our Minneapolis, MN headquarters or the Huntersville, NC Admin office.

About the role

Pace's corporate FP&A team produces the consolidated financial view used by management and the Board. It spans 100+ labs and service centers across Analytical & Environmental, Life Sciences and Professional Services. We are hiring a self-directed analyst to own that consolidation end to end, from pulling and reconciling the data to delivering Board-ready reporting.

This role is for someone who wants the numbers to tie the first time, and who notices when a number is right but the story behind it is not. You will work directly with the Head of FP&A, finance directors and senior leaders. Initially you will report to the Head of FP&A, moving to the FP&A Manager once that role is filled.

What you will do

• Consolidation and data integrity: own the monthly consolidated management view from Adaptive Planning. Reconcile it to the general ledger every cycle, and build tie-out checks that catch errors before review.
• Management and Board reporting: prepare monthly management packages and quarterly Board materials, including charts, bridges and variance commentary that separates price, volume and mix.
• Capital expenditure: consolidate capex requests, approvals and spend across the network. Report on status, overruns and timing.
• Business partnering: work with finance directors and senior leaders to understand what drives the numbers. Test explanations against the data and raise what does not add up.
• Process build: document reporting calendars and reconciliation steps so they are repeatable. Help integrate operational and sales metrics from the planned enterprise data lake.

What we are looking for

We care about what you can do, not years or credentials.

Required

• A structured accounting or finance foundation, such as public accounting, transaction advisory, financial due diligence or a rigorous corporate accounting role.
• A track record of reconciling large, multi-source data sets and explaining the differences.
• Experience building financial reporting that others relied on.
• Advanced Excel: clean, formula-driven models that others can follow.
• Comfort with fixed monthly and Board deadlines.
• The curiosity to ask why a number moved, and the confidence to challenge senior partners.

Preferred

• Transaction advisory or quality-of-earnings experience.
• Adaptive Planning or another planning tool (Anaplan, OneStream, Pigment).
• Multi-site or multi-entity consolidation experience.
• Power BI, Power Query or SQL.
• Experience in laboratory services, healthcare or another regulated, multi-location business.

Compensation: $110,000-$125,000 base, depending on experience, plus Pace benefits.
