- Define, monitor, and visualize KPIs—build interactive dashboards and share insights with department leaders.
- Lead the annual budget process: set timelines, coordinate inputs across departments, and reconcile final numbers.
- Own maintenance and continuous improvement of the five-year financial model.
- Design and execute ad-hoc strategic analyses (ROI studies, scenario modeling, pricing/margin reviews) to support business decisions.
- Partner with IT/BI teams to develop and automate complex reports and data pipelines.
- Identify and implement process improvements—standardize routines, automate manual tasks, and expand BI capabilities.
- Collaborate with accounting, tax, pricing, and other cross-functional teams to deliver integrated financial insights.
Desired Credentials:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
- 2–6 years of progressive financial analysis experience (ideally in a high-growth or entrepreneurial setting).
- Advanced financial modeling and analysis skills.

- Expert-level Excel (lookups, pivots, complex formulas, etc).
- Proven experience with financial and operational ERPs.
