Senior Financial Analyst

Senior Financial Analyst

At BCG, our FP&A team is responsible for financial planning, business performance analysis, revenue forecasting, deployment analytics, and leadership reporting across the West and Southwest systems. Though West and Southwest are distinct systems — each with their own offices, leadership, and performance dynamics — a single Finance team supports both, providing cross-system visibility and consistency in how financial and operational insights are developed and delivered.

As a key member of this team, the Senior Financial Analyst will own revenue and deployment analytics across both systems. This role sits at the intersection of finance and staffing, partnering closely with Finance, Staffing, People/Talent, local office leadership, and regional FP&A to help leaders understand performance trends, manage revenue risks, and connect staffing and deployment decisions to financial outcomes.

The role will focus heavily on revenue forecasting, deployment performance, billability, utilization, and related business drivers. The individual will also contribute to broader FP&A activities including P&L analysis, leadership reporting, annual planning, rolling forecasts, and ad hoc strategic analysis.

What You'll Do

• Support the weekly and monthly revenue forecast process in partnership with Staffing, Finance, and system leadership, including analysis of actuals vs. forecast and key revenue drivers across West and Southwest
• Develop and maintain revenue and deployment models that help leadership understand expected performance, risks, opportunities, and tradeoffs across both systems
• Analyze deployment, billability, utilization, time allocation, and staffing trends to produce actionable insights for Finance, Staffing, People, and office leadership
• Identify leading indicators in deployment data and flag risks before they materialize in revenue outcomes
• Prepare recurring revenue and deployment reporting, including variance analysis, KPI tracking, trend analysis, and written commentary for senior leadership
• Partner with staffing teams to understand pipeline, case demand, supply constraints, deployment outcomes, and the revenue implications of staffing decisions
• Build clear, concise materials for leadership meetings, covering revenue outlook, deployment performance, billability, utilization, P&L trends, and emerging risks or opportunities
• Act as a thought partner to Finance and system leadership, translating complex data into clear business implications and recommended actions
• Support annual planning, rolling forecasts, and other planning cycles by incorporating guidance from global, regional, system, and local stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting, automate recurring analyses, and drive consistency in how insights are structured and delivered across both systems
• Support ad hoc analysis and special projects across revenue, deployment, commercial performance, people topics, and broader FP&A priorities

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Mathematics, or a related field; advanced degree welcome but not required
• 3–5 years of finance-related experience, ideally in FP&A, business analytics, professional services, consulting, or a related environment
• Experience with revenue forecasting, P&L analysis, utilization and billability reporting, staffing or deployment analytics, budgeting, or business performance reporting preferred
• Strong analytical skills, including the ability to interpret financial and operational data and develop clear, actionable insights
• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills; ability to build and maintain financial models and prepare executive-ready materials
• Experience with Tableau, Alteryx, SAP, Business Objects, Workday, Power BI, or similar reporting and analytics tools a plus
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain financial and operational concepts clearly to non-finance audiences
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work under tight timelines across a multi-system environment
• Experience leveraging AI tools or automation to streamline recurring reporting, reduce manual effort, and improve analytical efficiency a plus

WHAT YOU EXCEL AT:

• Connecting revenue, deployment, billability, utilization, and staffing data to broader business performance and leadership decisions
• Synthesizing complex, multi-source data into clear insights, concise narratives, and practical recommendations that senior leaders can act on
• Building trusted, collaborative relationships with Finance, Staffing, People/Talent, office leadership, and senior stakeholders across both systems
• Applying strong analytical judgment, critical thinking, and attention to detail in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities
• Communicating proactively and confidently, including preparing materials and presenting findings to senior audiences
• Navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and time-sensitive requests while maintaining accuracy and quality
• Taking initiative, working independently, and identifying ways to improve processes, reporting, and decision support
• Demonstrating curiosity, flexibility, openness to feedback, and a commitment to continuous learning

Who You'll Work With

You will work closely with members of the West and Southwest Finance team, along with Staffing, People/Talent, local office leadership, regional FP&A, and other business partners across BCG. Though West and Southwest operate as separate systems, this role sits within a single Finance team that supports both — providing visibility into cross-system trends, consistency in how analytical work is structured, and regular interaction with system and office leadership across both regions.

This is a high-exposure role with broad coverage across revenue, deployment, staffing, people, and financial performance. The dual-system scope creates a unique vantage point: you will see how similar levers play out differently across two distinct markets, and have the opportunity to bring that perspective into how both systems are managed and improved.
