Financial Analyst

Overview

This full-time, entry-level Financial Analyst role is fully remote for candidates located in the United States. The position combines spreadsheet-based analysis with careful review of assumptions, variances, and financial trends to help stakeholders understand what changed and why it may matter.

Responsibilities

• Compare actual financial results with budgets, forecasts, and prior periods, and explain meaningful variances.
• Reconcile information across schedules or reports and investigate material inconsistencies.
• Assist with budgeting and forecasting by organizing assumptions, updating schedules, and checking calculations.
• 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.
• Analyze revenue, expenses, margins, and other financial or operating measures to identify performance drivers.
• Provide variance analysis beyond stating whether numbers are higher or lower by identifying operational or financial drivers where information allows, and determine whether differences appear temporary, recurring, assumption-driven, or in need of further review.

Requirements

• Clear written communication and ability to summarize financial information for non-specialist stakeholders.
• Strong numerical reasoning, attention to detail, and a disciplined approach to checking financial information.
• Ability to manage assigned priorities independently while collaborating through digital tools in a remote environment.
• Comfort learning organization-specific reporting definitions, schedules, and planning processes.
• Ability to compare results, identify material variances, and explain the drivers behind a financial change.
