Overview

This role is for a Financial Analyst supporting financial reporting and forward-looking analysis. You will organize financial information into useful views of actual performance, expected results, and the factors driving differences between plans and outcomes. Accuracy and clear communication are important throughout the work.

The position includes both routine reporting aligned to regular financial cycles and additional assignments such as comparing scenarios, investigating variances, and linking financial results to the underlying operating activity.

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

Responsibilities

Improve recurring financial reporting processes while maintaining appropriate review controls.
Support KPI reporting by connecting financial measures with relevant operational context.
Review source information and validate calculations before financial analysis is distributed or relied upon.
Assist with budgeting and forecasting by organizing assumptions, updating schedules, and checking calculations.
Perform trend, sensitivity, and scenario analysis to show how changing assumptions may affect expected results.
Compare actual financial results with budgets, forecasts, and prior periods, and explain meaningful variances.
