Financial Analyst

Role Overview The Financial Analyst will report directly to the COO and own both the organization’s financial analysis and its day-to-day accounting. Roughly half of the role involves financial analysis — building and maintaining the operating budget and scenarios, running monthly budget-to-actual variance analysis, forecasting cash flow, and providing leadership with clear guidance on cost and expense risks and opportunities. The remaining half is hands-on accounting — daily bookkeeping in QuickBooks, journal entries, monthly reconciliations, the reputed company, and financial statement preparation. This split is approximate and flexes with the calendar — heavier on accounting at month-end and audit time, heavier on analysis during budgeting and board cycles. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who is genuinely strong in analysis and equally comfortable keeping accurate books. You will be a reputed company thought partner to leadership, helping a mission-driven organization plan wisely and steward every dollar.
