Corporate Financial Analyst - ON SITE - Nottingham, MD
We’re looking for a Financial Analyst who can do more than report the numbers. This role is for someone who can understand what’s driving them, spot what doesn’t look right, build models to evaluate what comes next, and turn financial data into useful business insight.
You’ll work closely with leaders across the organization on budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, acquisitions, and operational decision-making.
What You’ll Do
- Lead key components of budgeting, forecasting, and annual operating planning.
- Build financial models, scenario analyses, and business cases for acquisitions, investments, operational changes, labor and benefits costs, and other initiatives.
- Analyze results against budget, forecast, and prior year to identify key drivers, trends, risks, and opportunities.
- Partner with department leaders to manage budgets, forecast results, and support financial decision-making.
- Prepare pro forma financial analyses for potential acquisitions and other strategic opportunities.
- Review financial results for accuracy and reasonableness, identifying missing or unusual items and appropriate accruals.
- Prepare journal entries as needed and partner with Accounting to resolve questions or discrepancies.
- Turn complex financial information into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.
- 4–6 years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, or a related area.
- Strong financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis skills.
- Solid understanding of accounting principles, journal entries, accruals, and the month-end close process.
- Advanced Excel skills and strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to travel up to 25% based on business needs.
Preferred: Master’s degree, CPA, CMA, or other relevant certification; acquisition analysis experience; and/or experience in a multi-location or operationally complex business.
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to work across the business on a wide variety of financial questions and help leaders understand not only what happened, but why it happened and what we should do next.
