Role Overview: The Analytical Engine

We are seeking a high-caliber FP&A Analyst & Business Operations Lead to act as the strategic right-hand to our President. This is a "molecular" level finance role designed for an operator who loves data, spreadsheets, and the challenge of building a cohesive budget across multiple business units.

You will be responsible for the "financial truth" of the company. From building complex Excel models to leveraging AI tools like Claude to find efficiencies, your mission is to ensure that leadership has 100% visibility into the business's health and future growth potential. You aren't just reporting on the past; you are helping us architect the future.

Key Responsibilities

I. Financial Planning & Budgeting

• Budget Ownership: Build, maintain, and monitor department-wide budgets. You will be the "guardian" of the spend, identifying variances and flagging risks to the President.
• Forecasting: Develop rolling 12-month cash flow and revenue forecasts that allow the President to make aggressive, informed decisions on hiring and growth.
• Model Building: Create sophisticated 3-way financial models in Excel that integrate the P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow.

II. Business Analytics & Reporting

• Executive Dashboards: Design and deliver weekly and monthly reporting packages for the President. You must be able to distill complex data into a "pithy" one-page summary.
• Operational Analysis: Look across all parts of the business to identify margin leaks, cost-saving opportunities, and operational bottlenecks.
• Ad-Hoc Projects: Support Joshua with "deep-dive" analysis on new business ventures, project profitability, or market opportunities.

III. AI & Systems Integration

• AI-Augmented Workflows: Actively utilize Claude and other AI models to analyze datasets, draft financial summaries, and automate repetitive data cleaning tasks.
• Excel Mastery: Serve as the internal expert on formulas, macros, and data visualization. If a spreadsheet can be faster or more accurate, you are the person to fix it.
• Data Hygiene: Ensure that all financial and operational data is organized, consistent, and audit-ready at all times.

Who You Are

Experience & Technical Skills

• Proven FP&A Background: 3–5+ years of experience in financial planning, analysis, or corporate finance.
• Excel Expert: You are a "Power User." You think in formulas and understand how to build models that are both robust and user-friendly.
• AI Native: You have already integrated AI (Claude/ChatGPT) into your daily workflow to increase your velocity and accuracy.
• English Fluency: Exceptional professional English (written and verbal) is required for reporting directly to the President.

Mindset & Personality

• Hyper-Organized: You are the person who "cleans the digital closet." You find satisfaction in order and clarity.
• Strategic Partner: You don't just "report" a $50k overage; you investigate the cause and propose three solutions to fix it.
• Confidential & Discrete: You will be handling the most sensitive data in the company; your integrity is non-negotiable.
• Direct Communication: You are comfortable speaking truth to power and providing the President with the data-driven "No" when a budget doesn't align with the strategy.

Why This Role?

• High-Level Exposure: Report directly to the President and see exactly how a high-growth business is managed.
• Strategic Autonomy: You have the freedom to build the reporting and budgeting systems from the ground up.
• Stable Partnership: We are looking for a long-term partner who wants to grow into a senior leadership role as the business scales.
