Overview

This role supports budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and business performance analysis. The position is designed for someone who can work carefully with financial information and explain what the numbers mean in practical terms.

You will move between financial statements, spreadsheet schedules, operating metrics, and forecast assumptions during the same week. Calculations must be checked, assumptions made clear, and conclusions presented in a way that supports decisions.

Variance analysis should go beyond stating whether a number is higher or lower. Where information allows, you will help identify operational or financial drivers behind movement and explain whether differences appear temporary, recurring, assumption-driven, or in need of further review.

Responsibilities

Prepare recurring financial reports, management summaries, and ad hoc analyses for stakeholder review.
Review source information and validate calculations before financial analysis is distributed or relied upon.
Analyze revenue, expenses, margins, and other financial or operating measures to identify performance drivers.
Communicate financial findings in concise business language, including risks, limitations, and areas requiring follow-up.
Document model logic, assumptions, and analytical methods so work remains understandable and reusable.
Assist with budgeting and forecasting by organizing assumptions, updating schedules, and checking calculations.
