Financial Analyst, IgniteLocationPhiladelphia, PA, Hybrid
The RoleWe are seeking a highly analytical, commercially minded Financial Analyst to support revenue forecasting, performance tracking, and financial analysis with a strong focus on margin optimization and business performance.
Reporting to the Finance Business Partner (FBP), this role is a critical contributor to delivering insight-led financial support that enables faster, smarter decision-making across the business. You will operate at both a strategic and detailed level - connecting financial performance to commercial realities, identifying emerging risks and opportunities, and helping shape actions that improve outcomes.
Success in this role requires intellectual curiosity, analytical precision, and the ability to navigate a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve and the business continuously adapts to changing client and market demands. You will be expected to work confidently through complexity and ambiguity, balancing rigorous attention to detail with the ability to synthesize insights into clear, actionable recommendations for stakeholders.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond transactional reporting and play an active role in driving performance, protecting margin, and influencing business decisions.
What You'll Be Doing- Translate financial data into clear commercial narratives that explain performance drivers, risks, opportunities, and operational implications - not just variances
- Maintain and enhance revenue forecasting models and templates, supporting quarterly submissions in close partnership with the Finance Business Partner (FBP)
- Support the preparation and coordination of monthly financial reporting (MFR) materials, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and high-quality insight
- Partner with the FBP and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver actionable, insight-driven analysis that supports informed decision-making at senior levels
- Apply analytical rigor to align revenue, utilization, and resourcing assumptions - synthesizing inputs from Staffing, Pricing, and Operations into data-driven recommendations
- Analyze revenue and cost of sales (COS) performance, identifying trends, margin drivers, risks, and optimization opportunities
- Partner with the Innovations & Growth team to validate KPI dashboards, ensuring data integrity and translating metrics into meaningful business insight
- Monitor working capital performance across billing, collections, and WIP, proactively identifying anomalies, trends, and areas requiring escalation
- Leverage financial and operational data to generate insight into utilization, resourcing efficiency, and capacity planning
- Proactively identify and communicate risks to revenue, profitability, and forecast accuracy, recommending practical mitigation actions
- Collaborate with Commercial Insights to evaluate pipeline and sales performance, strengthening forecast quality and forward-looking visibility
- Conduct cost center tracking and spend analysis for Business Development and Executive Leadership, highlighting variances and opportunities for improved efficiency
- Perform reconciliations and maintain robust data quality controls to ensure integrity and reliability of financial reporting
- Build and execute scenario analyses, including upside/downside cases and sensitivity modeling, to stress-test assumptions and support strategic planning
- Respond to ad hoc analytical requests with agility, translating complex datasets into concise, decision-ready insight
- Support accurate revenue reporting across service lines and clients, ensuring alignment with underlying financial data and operational activity
- Support shared resourcing system reporting and coordination, ensuring reporting outputs remain accurate, relevant, and actionable
- Effectively manage multiple priorities and shifting business demands within a high-performance, fast-paced environment
What Success Looks Like in This Role- Revenue forecasts are consistently accurate - with risks and opportunities surfaced early and managed proactively, not explained after the fact
- Financial reporting is trusted, timely, and commercially relevant, enabling leaders to make confident decisions quickly
- Margin discipline is actively protected through analytical challenge, commercial insight, and proactive intervention
- Stakeholders rely on your analysis not only for accuracy, but for clarity, judgment, and forward-looking perspective
- Complex data is translated into focused recommendations that influence decisions and drive measurable business impact
- You adapt quickly to evolving priorities, maintaining quality and momentum in a dynamic, changing environment
What You'll Need- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
- Required commercial experience in finance, FP&A, or a related analytical role
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail
- Experience with financial modeling and forecasting
- Proficiency in Excel (advanced preferred); experience with Power BI or similar tools is a plus
- Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., Workday) preferred
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and work in a fast-paced environment
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
