Financial Analyst, FP&A

Preferred

• Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) and experience automating finance-specific workflows or otherwise using AI to improve your output.
• BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and/or a planning tool (Vena, Pigment, Data Rails, Cube).
• ERP exposure. (Netsuite) — if coming from the accounting side, auditing exposure is preferred over implementation exposure.)
• Consumer/CPG/DTC experience.

What This Role Is

This is the person who takes ownership of the recurring FP&A engine so our Strategic Finance Manager can spend more time on strategic work. You'll own components of the budgeting and in-year re-forecast cycle end to end — data gathering, financial modeling, and variance analysis — and support financial close by producing source materials and coordinating accurate, timely accruals with cross-functional partners. You'll also build out the automated reporting and FP&A processes that let a lean finance team punch above its weight, leveraging AI tools, FP&A software, or both.

What This Role Is Not

A generalist role

— this requires explicit finance and financial modeling experience, not broad operational exposure. That said, some appetite to flex beyond core FP&A for ad-hoc analysis is a plus — the line is finance grounding, not rigidity.

An over-indexed strategic seat

— the team already has strong strategic thinking; this role needs someone tactical and methodical who can own the mechanics of forecasting and reporting.

Who You Are

You hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.

You have 2–4 years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, accounting, or a related analytical role.

Your Excel and financial modeling skills are advanced — you can build a forecast and variance analysis from scratch.

You have a solid grasp of the three financial statements and the drivers behind them; you can connect operational KPIs to financial line items.

You are a strong communicator who can explain a variance to non-finance stakeholders and collaborate effectively with partners across a range of financial backgrounds — we're a lean team with no translation layer, so this matters especially in partnering closely with Operations.
