Job Description
Senior Financial Analyst 

Make an Impact While Growing Your Career 


If you’re a CPA with a strong foundation in public accounting and a desire to expand beyond traditional audit work, this role is designed for you. 
 
As a Senior Financial Analyst, you’ll play a meaningful role in helping leaders make informed business decisions. You’ll work with financial data to uncover insights, support strategy, and contribute to performance across a diverse group of businesses. What makes this opportunity unique is the balance of development and impact. You won’t be expected to know everything on day one—but you will be supported, challenged, and given the opportunity to grow into a trusted financial partner. You’ll gain exposure to multiple industries—including furniture manufacturing & distribution, software, and managed IT services—while building skills in forecasting, valuation, acquisitions, and consolidated reporting. 


 
What You’ll Gain in This Role 


Learn directly from experienced finance and business leaders 


Build expertise in forecasting, financial modeling, and business analytics 


Gain exposure to strategic initiatives, including potential acquisitions 


Develop the confidence to partner with non-financial leaders 


Grow into a trusted advisor within the organization 


 
What You’ll Be Working On 

Financial Analysis & Reporting 


Build and refine financial models to support strategic initiatives 


Prepare and analyze monthly and quarterly performance (budget vs. actuals, variance analysis, profitability) 


Identify trends and translate data into meaningful insights 

Budgeting & Forecasting 


Partner with business leaders to develop departmental budgets 


Support rolling forecasts and long-term financial planning 


Identify key drivers and opportunities to improve performance 

Business Partnering & Decision Support 


Contribute to analyses that support decisions around pricing, investments, and cost management 


Provide ad hoc analysis to senior leadership 


Support evaluation of strategic opportunities, including acquisitions 

Process Improvement 


Learn current processes and identify opportunities for improvement 


Help streamline reporting and financial workflows 


Partner cross-functionally to enhance tools and reporting capabilities 


 
What You Bring 


Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance 


Active CPA certification 


4–5 years of public accounting (audit) experience 


Solid Excel skills with a desire to continue building advanced capabilities 


Strong analytical and problem-solving skills 


Clear communicator who enjoys translating financial insights for non-financial audiences 


Ability to manage multiple priorities while continuing to learn and develop 


 
Work Environment & Flexibility 


Primarily office-based with flexibility for some remote work 


Occasional travel depending on business needs 


 
Why This Role Stands Out 


Expand beyond audit into strategic finance 


Work across multiple industries, gaining broader business exposure 


Be part of a growing organization with opportunities to influence outcomes 


Build a long-term career path in financial leadership
