Responsibilities

• Communicate financial findings in concise business language, including risks, limitations, and items that require follow-up.
• Support KPI reporting by connecting financial measures with relevant operational context.
• Analyze revenue, expenses, margins, and other financial or operating measures to identify performance drivers.
• Reconcile information across schedules or reports and investigate material inconsistencies.
• Update forecasts, review actual results against budget, and prepare management reports.
• Test how changes in assumptions could affect expected outcomes.
• Organize inputs, verify calculations, and summarize the most meaningful drivers.
• Help improve recurring financial reporting processes while maintaining appropriate review controls.
• Review source information and validate calculations before financial analysis is distributed or relied upon.
• Perform variance analysis that goes beyond identifying whether a number is higher or lower; where information allows, identify operational or financial drivers and whether differences appear temporary, recurring, assumption-driven, or require further review.

• Ability to compare results, identify material variances, and explain drivers behind financial changes.
• Comfort using Microsoft Excel or comparable spreadsheet software for calculations and organized financial schedules.
• Willingness to question inconsistent inputs and resolve or escalate discrepancies before completing analysis.
• Ability to manage assigned priorities independently while collaborating through digital tools in a remote environment.
