What we’re looking for
InStride is looking for a Senior Analyst, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to join a high-performing FP&A practice (processes, software tools, etc.) that can scale with our emerging, high growth company. This role will perform analysis and prepare reports to support the annual budget process, contribute to financial and operational close and reporting processes, and assist in putting together the financial forecast.
The ideal candidate will be able to partner with leaders and team members to provide financial / analytical guidance and influence key decisions that enable the company to achieve its core mission and improve enterprise value. This candidate will be a dynamic individual who can objectively research and analyze sophisticated issues and present recommendations in a clear and simple way to elicit support from other team members.
This is a hands-on seat on a small team. You will own recurring deliverables end to end - the model, the tie-out, the commentary and the slide - for audiences that include our executive team, our board, our sponsor and our lenders.
