Job Overview:

Oliver Wyman is seeking a Senior FP&A Analyst to join our Corporate FP&A team within the Office of the CFO. This role will play a key part in running and improving the day-to-day Corporate FP&A function, with responsibility for core financial reporting, forecasting, close analysis, executive reporting, and financial analytics.

A key focus of the role will be to take ownership of recurring FP&A processes and continuously improve how they are performed. The Senior Analyst will use data, automation, BI tools, and emerging AI capabilities to reduce manual effort, strengthen data quality, and improve the speed and quality of financial insight.

As core processes become more efficient, the role will also support broader CFO priorities, including scenario analysis, strategic planning, margin improvement, finance transformation, and other high-impact initiatives.

The ideal candidate combines strong FP&A fundamentals with an ownership mindset, excellent analytical skills, and a genuine interest in how Finance operates.

This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week at our midtown NYC location. There is no option to be fully remote.

What You'll Do:

Own Core FP&A Processes

• Take ownership of monthly and quarterly financial reporting, including the Flash process, consolidated P&L analysis, revenue, headcount, compensation and benefits, and other key performance measures.
• Support the month-end close process, including variance analysis, reconciliations, investigation of unusual items, and coordination with Controllership and other Finance teams.
• Manage recurring reporting timelines, follow-ups, and issue resolution with limited supervision.
• Prepare clear financial commentary explaining key performance drivers, risks, opportunities, and emerging trends.
• Ensure reporting outputs are accurate, timely, and consistent across financial systems and management reporting.

Forecasting, Budgeting & Planning

• Support and increasingly own components of the annual budget, periodic forecasting, and rolling forecast processes.
• Partner with Corporate and Regional FP&A teams to consolidate inputs, challenge assumptions, and understand key changes in financial outlook.
• Develop driver-based analyses and scenario models incorporating revenue, headcount, utilization, compensation, and other key business assumptions.
• Support longer-range planning and sensitivity analysis for management decision-making.

Executive Reporting & Business Partnership

• Prepare financial analysis, commentary, and presentation materials for the CFO, Global FP&A leadership, and other senior stakeholders.
• Translate detailed financial information into concise, decision-useful insights and clear management narratives.
• Partner with Regional FP&A, Controllership, and operational stakeholders to explain performance drivers and resolve financial issues.
• Support quarterly reviews and other senior-management reporting as required.

Data, Automation & AI-Enabled Finance

• Use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Gemini, or similar platforms to improve Finance workflows, analysis, and reporting where appropriate.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance Tableau, Power BI, or other dashboards and analytical tools used across FP&A.
• Leverage Excel, SmartView, financial systems, data warehouses, and other tools to improve reporting and analytical capabilities.
• Identify and automate recurring reporting, reconciliations, commentary, and analytical workflows to reduce manual effort.
• Work with FP&A, Accounting, Controllership, and Technology teams to improve data quality, reporting accuracy, and process efficiency.
• Use SQL, Python, VBA, or similar tools where appropriate to extract, analyze, and automate large datasets.
• Support enhancements to FP&A systems, reporting architecture, and data infrastructure.

Strategic & Special Projects

• Support scenario analysis, margin improvement, cost structure reviews, and other strategic finance initiatives.
• Contribute to business cases, finance integration activities, and selected CFO-sponsored projects.
• Provide ad hoc financial analysis to support business and leadership decisions.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related discipline.
• Approximately 4-6 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, consulting, or another highly analytical finance role.
• Strong understanding of P&L analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and financial reporting.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with large and complex datasets.
• Strong PowerPoint skills and experience preparing materials for senior-management audiences.
• Experience with Tableau, Power BI, or another business intelligence/data visualization platform.
• Experience with Oracle EPM, Hyperion Planning, SmartView, Anaplan, Adaptive, Pigment, or similar financial planning systems preferred.
• Experience using automation or AI tools to improve reporting, analysis, or Finance workflows.
• SQL, Python, or VBA experience is preferred but not required.
• Familiarity with month-end close, accruals, reconciliations, and financial controls.
• Experience in a professional services or similarly complex global organization is a plus.

What Will Help You Succeed

• A strong sense of ownership and the ability to independently manage recurring FP&A processes from start to finish.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand both detailed financial data and broader business drivers.
• Ability to explain the "why behind the numbers," not simply report results.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy and quality.
• A proactive approach to identifying inefficiencies and improving or automating processes.
• Strong intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn new systems, technologies, and business concepts.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders.
• A collaborative approach and comfort working across teams, functions, and geographies.
