Sr. Financial Analyst

Description We are looking for a Sr. Financial Analyst to join a finance team on a Contract basis. This role is suited for a finance specialist who can turn complex operational and financial data into clear insights that support planning, reporting, and decision-making. The position will work across budgeting, forecasting, month-end activities, and performance analysis while partnering with both finance and business stakeholders.

• Analyze large volumes of transactional and operational data to produce meaningful reporting for management decision-making.

• Create dashboards, reports, and visual summaries using tools such as Power BI and Excel to improve visibility into trends and business performance.

• Partner with finance and non-finance teams to gather inputs, validate assumptions, and align reporting with operational realities.

• Perform ad hoc analysis on revenue, expenses, cash flow, and other performance indicators to support business initiatives and executive requests.

• Help identify process improvement opportunities in reporting, analysis, and planning workflows while coordinating with multiple stakeholders to implement enhancements. Requirements • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration, or a related discipline.

• At least 4 years of experience in financial planning and analysis, corporate finance, or a similar analytical finance role.

• Strong knowledge of financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow analysis, variance review, and management reporting.

• Hands-on experience with month-end close processes, accrual accounting, and journal entry support.

• Advanced Excel capabilities, including financial modeling, pivot tables, lookup functions, scenario analysis, and work with large datasets.

• Experience using ERP, reporting, or business intelligence platforms such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics AX, Cognos, BW, or Power BI.

• Proven ability to communicate financial insights clearly to both finance professionals and non-financial stakeholders.

• Background in retail, luxury goods, omnichannel, or consumer products environments is highly preferred.
