Financial Analyst

Senior Financial Analyst (HYBRID)

Description

Are you a finance professional who's most energized where the numbers meet the operation? We're looking for an experienced Senior Financial Analyst to act as a trusted financial partner to our leadership team — someone who can cut through complexity, translate data into decisions, and wants their work to have real operational impact. This role lives at the crossroads of finance and logistics, where labor costs, client billing structures, and throughput drive the numbers that matter. You'll build and maintain financial models, own the budgeting and forecasting process, and deliver reporting leadership genuinely relies on. This isn't a back-office function — it's an operational seat at the table within a fast-paced, high-volume third-party logistics environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze financial data and build models that support leadership decision-making
• Compare actual results to plans and forecasts to evaluate financial performance
• Conduct variance analysis, spot trends, and deliver actionable recommendations
• Prepare clear, concise reports for regular leadership reviews
• Maintain weekly flash reports, monthly close packages, and quarterly performance reviews
• Build and track operational KPIs tied to financial outcomes, including cost per order, cost per labor hour, and revenue per square foot
• Lead the annual budgeting process, from data collection through modeling and analysis
• Forecast revenue and costs, communicating findings to leadership in a timely manner
• Develop scenario and sensitivity models to assess risk and opportunity
• Analyze labor costs as the primary operational cost driver, tracking trends, efficiencies, and variances by site, shift, or department
• Support reconciliation of client billing across multiple structures (per pallet, per hour, per shipment)
• Evaluate gross margin by customer or contract to support account-level profitability analysis
• Partner with operations leadership to connect throughput, headcount, and productivity metrics to financial outcomes
• Collaborate closely with the Accounting team to ensure accurate, timely financial reporting
• Review monthly financials in detail to confirm transactions are properly reflected
• Present financial analysis and key insights to leadership and budget owners to support planning and performance management
• Maintain compliance with ISO 9001 and 14001 standards and the company's code of conduct

Additional Responsibilities

• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and accuracy in reporting and planning
• Support ongoing optimization of financial and operational reporting processes
• Contribute to BI tools and data automation efforts using Excel, Access, Power BI, or similar platforms
• Other duties as assigned

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting, with a strong grasp of accounting principles
• Minimum 5 years of progressive financial analysis experience; background in logistics, supply chain, warehousing, or a similarly complex operational environment strongly preferred
• Advanced experience building integrated financial models, forecasts, and scenario analyses
• Strong Excel skills, including advanced formulas and data modeling
• Proficiency in JD Edwards (ERP) required; experience with Transportal, eFactory, Paycom, or Atlassian/Confluence a plus
• Familiarity with Power BI or similar reporting tools preferred
• Able to work deep in the data while keeping sight of the bigger picture
• Strong communicator who can turn financial data into insight for non-finance audiences
• Detail-oriented with a high degree of accuracy and ownership
• Proactive and solutions-oriented, comfortable spotting problems and proposing fixes
• Collaborative team player who builds trust across finance and operations
• Comfortable engaging with all levels of the organization, including executive leadership
• Able to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
