Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A
NAC Architecture | Seattle, WA or Spokane, WA | Hybrid
Full-Time | Exempt
The Opportunity
NAC Architecture is seeking an experienced Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A to join our Finance team and report directly to the CFO.
This is a hands-on FP&A role for a finance professional who can independently build forecasts and financial models, analyze business performance, identify risks and opportunities, and turn complex data into clear recommendations for leadership.
The ideal candidate understands the economics of a professional-services business and the relationships among revenue, backlog, staffing, labor, utilization, project profitability, overhead and cash flow. Professional-services experience is strongly preferred; architecture, engineering or construction (A/E/C) experience is a plus.
This is a corporate finance/FP&A position, not a Business Analyst, financial systems, IT or requirements-gathering role. Candidates should have substantive experience performing financial forecasting, budgeting, variance analysis, financial modeling and management reporting.
What You'll Do
· Lead key components of annual budgeting, forecasting and long-range financial planning.
· Own and enhance financial models covering revenue, labor, expenses, profitability and cash flow.
· Analyze actual results against budget and forecast, identify underlying business drivers and recommend actions.
· Analyze financial statements, KPIs and trends and prepare management-ready reports, dashboards and presentations.
· Evaluate backlog, staffing, utilization, labor, project profitability and overhead to identify risks and opportunities.
· Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to support staffing, compensation, investment and strategic decisions.
· Evaluate capital expenditures, investments, potential acquisitions and other strategic initiatives.
· Analyze cost structures and financial risks and recommend opportunities to improve profitability and mitigate risk.
· Partner with leadership to translate complex financial data into clear business insights.
· Proactively identify financial and operational issues rather than waiting for analysis to be requested.
· Continuously improve FP&A models, reporting, dashboards and analytical processes.
· Perform ad hoc financial analysis and special projects for the CFO and leadership.
