Senior Financial Analyst

Company: Graphite Financial
Location: Orlando
Posted on: May 27, 2023

Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst and data junkie to join our team. Ideal candidates are
analytical, inquisitive, and enjoy diving into financial data to identify key performance drivers and
fresh insights. We believe data is meaningless if it doesn't tell a larger story. Candidates should be
skilled in presenting financial results clearly with high-impact visualizations and other presentation
tools. This is a client-facing role and candidates should be confident leading client discussions
independently, delivering and interpreting financial results, and providing fundraising
support. Candidates with early-stage startup experience in accounting, finance, or FP&A roles are
preferred, as are candidates with client-service experience and SaaS industry experience.
Graphite Financial is redefining the "finance department" for early-stage companies and VC-backed
startups. We deliver high-calibre accounting/finance leadership and support to entrepreneurs and
management teams building scalable, high-growth companies. Our clients are actively managing cash burn,
measuring performance, reporting to investors, making capital allocation decisions, and preparing for
fundraising. All of that takes expertise and time that founders don't have and can't afford to hire for.
Graphite closes the gap with flexible, fixed-fee support packages that provide fractional leadership and
operational support from CFOs, Controllers, FP&A Managers, and Accounting Managers.
This is a fully remote position however we do have coworking space available in Central FL, NY and NJ.

• 
  Prepare and present comprehensive monthly financial reports to multiple clients, including all financial statements, trend reporting, budget vs. actual reporting, and key metrics
