Director of Financial Reporting & Analysis

Overview

This role is responsible for translating financial results and operating plans into clear, decision-ready insight for leadership, budget owners, and the Board. The position will lead management reporting, forecasting, and performance analysis across a multi-entity organization, with a strong focus on connecting financial outcomes to business drivers and forward-looking decisions.

This is a hands-on, build-from-the-ground-up role. A dedicated management reporting and analysis function has not yet been established, so the successful candidate will create the cadence, models, tools, and standards for ongoing reporting and analysis as the organization scales. The role will work closely with Accounting, Finance, department leaders, and executive leadership, maintaining a direct connection between the operating forecast and the underlying financial statements.

• Help shape management reporting, planning, and analytical capabilities within NetSuite and related finance tools
• Partner with finance leadership to maintain reliable operating assumptions
