We are seeking an analytical, creative, and forward-thinking FinancialReportingAnalyst II who is passionate about building solutions. You will often start with ambiguous questions, imperfect data, and multiple stakeholders, and you will create structure, a point of view, and repeatable, auditable solutions. This role combines strong finance and accounting fundamentals with modern analytics, automation, and emerging AI/LLM-enabled workflows (with appropriate controls and human review).

Passion for our mission and vision is required! Ability to work full-time on-site is required, and relocation assistance will be provided.

Responsibilities:

Financial Analysis & Reporting:

• Collaborate cross-functionally to gather, document, and communicate business requirements to tackle ambiguous and complex financial issues.

• Design, develop, and maintain user-friendly financial dashboards and reports to support key business decisions.

Process Improvement & Automation:

• Identify recurring/manual accounting and close workflows (Journal Entries, reconciliations, roll-forwards, flux analysis) and redesign them for speed, quality, and auditability.

• Build and implement automation using Excel/SQL and Python (where appropriate) and approved tooling to reduce cycle time and error rates (e.g., automated tie-outs, exception reporting, standardized JE support packages).

• Develop controlled AI/LLM-enabled workflows to accelerate accounting and close deliverables (e.g., drafting flux explanations, summarizing exceptions), ensuring documented controls, traceability, and human-in-the-loop review.

• Mine and reconcile data across systems, improving data quality through root-cause analysis and upstream fixes with process owners.

• Build and maintain repeatable, versioned analysis assets (queries, datasets, templates/models) with documentation and clear data lineage.

System & Data Integration:

• Support financial system transitions (e.g., Costpoint to D365) by defining reporting requirements, validating/tie-out outputs, and improving post-migration close/reporting workflows.

Strategic Collaboration:

• Serve as a change agent with strong credibility and influence, collaborating with customer partners and domain specialists.

• Clearly communicate results, assumptions, and controls to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting or related analytical field
• Minimum 2 years demonstrating performance in a relevant role
• Moderate proficiency in data extraction using SQL programming
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint
