Senior Financial Analyst


Salary: $75,000 - $90,000


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • Join a financially stable, family-owned organization with a collaborative culture and excellent work/life balance.

  • High-visibility role supporting a rapidly growing business unit with significant opportunities for career advancement.

  • Blend of accounting and finance responsibilities, allowing you to influence budgeting, forecasting, profitability analysis, and executive reporting.

  • Work alongside an experienced finance leadership team that values mentorship and internal development.

  • Hybrid schedule (4 days onsite / 1 day remote) with strong benefits, summer hours, early holiday releases, and a 401(k) match.


Key Responsibilities



  • Lead month-end close activities, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and financial reporting for assigned business units.

  • Prepare annual budgets, monthly forecasts, and financial models while analyzing revenue, expenses, customer profitability, and business performance.

  • Develop and present monthly and quarterly operational reporting packages to leadership, providing actionable financial insights and recommendations.

  • Partner with accounting and operational leaders to improve financial reporting, support strategic initiatives, and identify process improvements.

  • Assist with year-end close, audit support, internal controls, and ad hoc financial analysis to support executive decision-making.


Qualifications



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

  • 3+ years of accounting and financial analysis experience with a strong foundation in month-end close and financial reporting.

  • Experience with budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and profitability analysis.

  • Advanced Excel skills required; experience with Power Query or SQL is a plus.

  • Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to partner effectively with leaders across the organization.
