We’re looking for someone who enjoys digging into data, untangling complex processes and building solutions that make work simpler and smarter. Experience in accounting, financial analysis, data analytics, process improvement or technology-enabled operations can all translate well to this role. What matters most is your ability to dig into data, understand complex processes and turn what you learn into practical solutions.
Specifically, we’re looking for:
- Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas, scalable models and automation.
- Strong quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Experience working with data to spot trends, investigate exceptions and support business decisions.
- An ability to break down complex processes and turn them into practical solutions.
- A knack for learning new technology and finding smarter ways to work.
- Experience with SQL, Python, Tableau, AI-enabled tools or similar technologies is a plus.
About the Role:
As a Financial Systems Analyst, you’ll partner closely with our Accounting team to make the way we work simpler, smarter and more scalable.
You’ll get to know our existing processes, dig into the data behind them and look for opportunities to reduce repetitive work, strengthen controls and improve reporting. Then, you’ll help turn those opportunities into solutions using tools like SQL, Excel, Tableau, Python and AI-enabled technologies.
The goal? Help our Accounting team spend less time preparing recurring reports and more time understanding the story behind the numbers.
Here’s a snapshot of what you’d be doing:
- Partner with the Accounting team to understand existing workflows and identify manual work, reporting gaps, data risks and opportunities for improvement.
- Recommend and prioritize solutions based on business impact, risk and efficiency.
- Design, build, test and maintain reports, dashboards, data queries, Excel automations and other scalable tools.
- Validate your work to make sure solutions are accurate, reliable and built to last.
- Explore thoughtful ways to use AI, automation and emerging technologies to improve accounting workflows.
- Help establish appropriate controls around new tools and support teammates as they adopt new solutions.
- Jump into financial and data analysis, special projects and cross-functional work as business needs evolve.
- Pitch in wherever needed, excluding licensed activity, to help make the team and culture stronger.
About You:
- Curiosity comes naturally to you. When you see a process that takes five steps, you can’t help but wonder if it could take three.
- You enjoy solving problems and aren’t afraid to dig into the details to figure out what’s really going on.
- You can work with both technical and non-technical teammates and explain complicated ideas in a way that makes sense.
- You’re comfortable working independently, but you know the best solutions often come from working together.
- You can handle confidential financial information with care and good judgment.
- And when priorities change? You can adapt, refocus and keep things moving.
About Us:
We’re all about helping Veterans and military families become homeowners. In two short decades, we closed over 500,000 VA Loans and became the #1 VA lender for homebuyers in the nation. But to us, success isn’t measured in numbers. Our success is measured in living our values every day: Be Passionate and Have Fun, Deliver Results with Integrity and Enhance Lives Every Day. We always strive to provide friendly service to military homebuyers and their families. And we always seek to lift up people and communities across the country.
We’re so glad you’re here checking out this opportunity! If this role gets you excited but you’re worried you don’t check every box – don't sweat it. We’re more interested in what you can bring to the team than a perfect checklist. If you’re passionate, driven, and ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Come as you are, and together we’ll create something amazing.
