Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • 5-8+ years experience in FP&A or finance roles with demonstrated business partnership experience
  • Demonstrated ability to build or improve financial processes and controls - not just maintain them
  • Strong financial modeling skills in Excel
  • Attention to detail with a high standard for accuracy
  • Ownership mentality - self-directed, accountable, and proactive
  • Intellectual curiosity and initiative - someone who asks why, not just what
  • Hands-on approach - comfortable rolling up their sleeves in a lean finance team
  • Confident communicator who works effectively across departments, with vendors, and alongside executive leadership


Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, financial modeling, scenario analysis)
  • Experience with Sage Intacct
  • Power BI or comparable data visualization experience
