Responsibilities

• Reconcile information across schedules or reports and investigate material inconsistencies.
• Support budgeting and forecasting by organizing assumptions, updating schedules, and checking calculations.
• Analyze revenue, expenses, margins, and other financial or operating measures to identify performance drivers.
• Document model logic, assumptions, and analytical methods so work remains understandable and reusable.
• Review source information and validate calculations before financial analysis is distributed or relied upon.
• Prepare recurring financial reports, management summaries, and ad hoc analyses for stakeholder review.

• Willingness to question inconsistent inputs and resolve or escalate discrepancies before completing an analysis.
• Comfort using Microsoft Excel or comparable spreadsheet software for calculations and organized financial schedules.
• Clear written communication skills, with the ability to summarize financial information for non-specialist stakeholders.
• Organized documentation habits and an appreciation for traceable financial analysis.
• Good judgment when financial information is incomplete or inconsistent, including the ability to investigate the source, document limitations, and avoid presenting uncertain results as more precise than they are.
