A growing organization is seeking a Financial Analyst to serve as a key partner between Finance, Operations, and Technology. This position offers the opportunity to work with leadership, influence business decisions through data, and help improve reporting, analytics, and financial processes across the organization.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys digging into data, identifying trends, solving business problems, and building reporting tools that help leaders make informed decisions.

What You'll Gain

• Exposure to executive leadership and key business initiatives
• Opportunity to influence budgeting, forecasting, and business planning
• Hands-on experience with financial reporting, business intelligence, and ERP systems
• Long-term career growth opportunities within finance, accounting, operations, and leadership functions
• Stable organization with a strong track record of promoting talent from within
• Collaborative culture that values initiative, curiosity, and continuous improvement
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, retirement savings, and company-supported development opportunities

• A proactive, self-starter mentality with the confidence to take ownership of projects and drive results

• 4+ years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, accounting, or corporate finance
• Advanced Excel skills including modeling, scenario analysis, and financial reporting
• Experience with Power BI, D365, ERP systems, or similar reporting platforms
• Strong understanding of financial statements and how operational activities impact financial performance
• Ability to analyze complex data, identify trends, and communicate recommendations to leadership
• Demonstrated initiative, ownership, and a continuous improvement mindset

Ideal Backgrounds

Candidates may come from:
