As part of a hardworking and diverse team of financial analysts supporting the Lunar Permanence team. This Financial Analyst will drive the monthly business rhythm and all major financial planning processes (Monthly Close & Reporting, Annual Operating Plan, and Multi-Year Strategic Plan). Our team is seeking a proactive individual with excellent financial acumen, sophisticated skills with bottoms up financial analyses, business intelligence skills, and data models.

As we look to grow, our reliance on improved systems and processes will be key to achieving that goal.

Prior experience with those systems will assist with preparing executive level briefings on financial performance, detailing variance analysis to forecast and budget, helping the team meet financial targets/deliver results, while developing financial risks and opportunities.
