Senior Financial Analyst

Why This Role

Most senior analyst roles at agencies mean being one name on a 40-person finance org inside a holding company. This isn’t one of them. This is a global creative agency behind award-winning work for some of the biggest consumer brands in the world. You’d sit directly next to the CFO and work on the numbers leadership actually uses: what the agency earns, where the team’s time goes, and where the plan goes next. If you’ve built utilization trackers and forecast models at a bigger agency and want your work to drive decisions instead of feeding a roll-up, this is the place to be.

Position Overview

Reporting directly to the CFO, the Senior Financial Analyst is the agency’s go-to for planning, forecasting and performance reporting, with some support for sister companies in the wider group. You’ll own the consolidated forecast, build the trackers and decks leadership runs the business on, and keep day-to-day finance operations running smoothly in NetSuite. Half of the role is strategic: long-range planning, budgeting and presentations for internal and external stakeholders. The other half is hands-on: vendor and freelancer setup, balance sheet analysis and payment oversight. You’ll be close to every part of the agency, from creative teams to the leadership table.

Core Responsibilities

• Support long-range planning, the annual budget and quarterly forecasts through financial modeling
• Build and manage the forecast for the consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
• Own the agency’s core reporting: revenue, utilization, freelance and T&E trackers, the revenue deck, monthly financial overviews and time-tracking compliance
• Create presentation materials for leadership and external stakeholders
• Monitor industry trends and peer/competitor financial performance
• Analyze the balance sheet, including credit card activity, AR and AP
• Set up new vendors and freelancers in NetSuite and prepare the weekly vendor payment list for AP
• Flag and resolve vendor payment issues before they escalate
• Help build out Monday.com processes and turn its data into useful reporting
• Manage multiple projects at once and partner with teams across the agency

What We’re Looking For

• 4–8 years of finance or FP&A experience, required to come from advertising, media, marketing, communications or PR
• Strong 3-statement forecasting and modeling skills
• Advanced Excel (pivot tables, lookups, charts; VBA a plus) and Google Sheets
• NetSuite strongly preferred; experience with another ERP (SAP, Oracle, Workday, Dynamics) is fine
• Agency experience with utilization, staffing, WIP or freelancer tracking is a strong plus
• Comfortable presenting numbers to senior leadership and explaining what drives them
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting or business; Master’s or CPA a plus
