Additionally, the role involves preparing key financial and operational analyses and reports, automating data collection processes, and supporting the monthly reporting package, which includes the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows. The Financial Analyst will also monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) across various business facets, collaborate with leadership to evaluate initiatives aimed at improving business performance, and drive continuous process improvements in reporting, forecasting, and budgeting activities.

The analyst will work closely with the Director of FP&A, CFO, CCO, and other leadership members to provide insights that improve business performance and operational awareness.
