Senior Budget Analyst

Description

Senior Budget Analyst

This is a forward-looking role. You're not closing out what already happened, you're helping departments plan what happens next.

A higher education client in Albany, GA needs a Senior Budget Analyst to own budget analysis, forecasting, and reporting at the department level. You'll be the person leadership calls before they make a spending decision, not after.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Analyzing budget data and spotting trends before they turn into problems
• Building forecasts and financial reports leadership actually relies on
• Sitting in on planning conversations with campus departments and helping shape the numbers
• Applying governmental and nonprofit accounting principles to day-to-day decisions

What you bring:

• Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or something close
• 3 to 5 years in budgeting, finance, or business
• Advanced Excel, not "I know VLOOKUP" level, actually advanced
• Comfortable explaining numbers to a CFO and a department head in the same day

Bonus if you've worked in higher ed or know PeopleSoft/OneUSG. Not required.

If you'd rather build next year's forecast than audit last month's spend, this is your role.

Pay: $25 to $32/hr, depending on experience. Background check required.
