Finance Analyst

Who you are

• We're hiring for judgment and speed, not years served. If you're two years out of a banking analyst program, or a strong new grad who models well and writes clearly, you're the profile
• 0–2 years in FP&A, strategic finance, investment banking, consulting, Big 4, or a comparably analytical role — exceptional new grads welcome
• Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, accounting, engineering, mathematics, or another quantitative field
• You build financial models from a blank sheet. Advanced Excel or Google Sheets is table stakes here, not a bullet point
• Hands-on exposure to a real budgeting or forecasting cycle
• AI is already the default in how you work, and you have the judgment to go with it: a reliable instinct for when a machine-generated answer is wrong, and the discipline to check before you forward it
• You write clearly. You can compress a 40-tab model into three sentences a founder can act on
• Extreme attention to detail, and comfort operating in ambiguity at speed — priorities here change faster than the plan does
• Based in the US
• SQL — you can pull your own data instead of filing a ticket
• Python, or comparable scripting for analysis and automation
• BI and analytics tooling (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Hex) and modern planning tools (Pigment, Cube, Aleph, NetSuite)
• Fintech, banking, or lending background

What the job involves

• This is a ground-floor seat on a small finance team, and it's a genuinely embedded one. Most of your week will be spent with our go-to-market org — reporting on what our growth spend is actually returning, and acting as the finance counterpart on deal structure and pricing
• The rest goes to the budget cycle, where you'll sit with department leads to build and defend their plans
• You'll report to our Director of FP&A and get real exposure to the exec team
• Own reporting on the ROI of our growth investments — by channel, campaign, and segment — so the team knows what's working and what to cut
• Run Deal Desk: serve as the finance liaison on pricing, deal structure, and non-standard terms, and be the person go-to-market pulls in before a deal gets committed
• Build and maintain the customer and growth economics that inform how we invest in acquisition
• Sit in go-to-market's meetings, not just their inbox — translate their questions into analysis and hand back a recommendation instead of a spreadsheet
• Partner with department leads through quarterly budget and headcount planning — collect inputs, pressure-test them, and translate them into the plan
• Track spend against budget, surface drift before it compounds, and flag what needs a decision
• Build the analysis behind headcount, vendor, and resourcing calls — payback, cost-to-serve, build-vs-buy
• Support the monthly forecast cycle: pull and reconcile actuals, build the variance analysis, and draft the commentary that explains what moved and why
• Maintain the schedules and drivers that feed the company operating model, working alongside the Director of FP&A
• Help assemble the monthly and quarterly reporting packages for leadership, the board, and lenders
• Replace recurring manual work with something durable — AI workflows, queries, dashboards, templates — so next month it takes minutes
• Bring rigor to automated output: reconcile it, stress it, and know where it breaks before someone else finds out
