Senior Financial Analyst

Senior Financial Analyst – Jonas Software

Job Description:

Our business is one in which building relationships and working with others on the team are critical. The position requires a skilled verbal and written communicator with the confidence and polish to speak with senior executives, accountants, and colleagues. You are driven to perform, results-oriented and willing to do what it takes. You have excellent interpersonal skills and are an enthusiastic energetic self-starter with a strong sense of customer focus. You are extremely organized and do not let details slip through the cracks. You are a strong listener and collaborative individual, who likes to put forward suggestions and ideas on how to improve the status quo, with a strong focus on process management. You are an owner rather than a preparer, and you are comfortable being accountable for a set of numbers end to end. You are comfortable with a dynamic financial reporting and compliance calendar while remaining responsive to the operational priorities of the business units you support. You understand that finance runs on a cycle, and that a growing portfolio brings periods of higher intensity alongside quieter stretches. You are interested in how technology and AI are changing the finance function and look for opportunities to apply them.
