We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Financial Analyst to work directly with the Controller in supporting financial analysis, reporting, profitability analysis, and special projects across the business.

This role is an excellent opportunity for a finance or accounting professional who has a solid understanding of accounting fundamentals and wants to develop broader skills in financial analysis, business performance, pricing, costing, and profitability.

The position will work closely with the Controller and will gain exposure to Finance, Sales, Operations, and senior leadership. The Controller will provide direction, training, and oversight, while the Financial Analyst will take ownership of assigned analyses, reports, and projects.

• Analyze expected profitability of projects, customers, products, and other commercial opportunities.
• Review revenue and cost assumptions and identify discrepancies or items requiring additional review.

Development Opportunity

This position is designed for someone who wants to grow beyond traditional accounting or transactional finance work.

You will work closely with the Controller and receive hands-on exposure to areas such as:

• Profitability analysis
• Pricing and sales analysis
• Project economics
• Cost accounting
• Financial planning and forecasting
• Working capital
• Management reporting
• Business performance analysis
• Financial modeling
• Commercial decision support

The successful candidate will progressively take on more responsibility as they develop their understanding of the business and demonstrate strong analytical and financial judgment.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is smart, analytical, curious, and willing to learn.

You do not need to have extensive experience in every area listed above. We will provide guidance and training. However, you should have a strong enough accounting or finance foundation to understand financial information and the ability to learn how that information can be used to analyze the business.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related field.
• Approximately 2–5 years of experience in accounting, financial analysis, controlling, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of basic accounting and financial concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong Excel skills and comfort working with financial data.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to investigate discrepancies and ask the right questions.
• Ability to organize and manage multiple assignments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated willingness and ability to learn new concepts and systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with financial analysis, management reporting, cost accounting.
• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial, project-based, or operational business environment.
• Experience with project costing or profitability analysis.
• Experience with an ERP system such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, or similar.
• Familiarity with budgeting and forecasting.

The Right Mindset

The right person for this position does not need to walk in knowing exactly how to perform every analysis.

We are looking for someone who can look at a set of numbers and asks, “Does this make sense?”

You should be someone who notices when a margin looks unusual, asks why a cost changed, wants to understand how a project makes money, and is willing to dig into the details to find the answer.

The Controller will provide direction and context, but the analyst will be expected to develop the ability to independently investigate questions, build analyses, and present findings clearly.

This position is a strong fit for someone who enjoys accounting and finance but wants to move toward business analysis, problem solving, and decision support rather than purely transactional accounting.
