JEGS Automotive is seeking a Financial Analyst to support the financial planning and analysis functions of the company.

You'll build reporting, forecasting, and analytical models that help leadership understand margin, profitability, and performance across products, channels, and customer segments.

• Improve reporting processes in partnership with accounting/operations, ensuring GAAP alignment.

What You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
• 2-4 years in financial analysis, FP&A, or accounting - eCommerce/retail experience a plus
