Financial Analyst

Location: Roswell, GA (100% Onsite - Monday through Friday)
Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire

About the Opportunity

A growing manufacturing organization is seeking a Financial Analyst who is eager to learn, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and enjoys digging into data to solve business problems. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who is technically strong, naturally curious, and wants to build a long-term career where they can make a visible impact.

This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain reports-you'll help build them. You'll work closely with leadership to transform complex financial and operational data into meaningful insights that drive business decisions. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, enjoys asking questions, takes ownership of projects, and is excited to continuously learn and grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze financial and operational data to identify trends, risks, and business opportunities.
• Build, improve, and automate reports, dashboards, and executive-level reporting tools.
• Develop ad hoc reporting and analyses to support strategic business initiatives.
• Create financial models, forecasts, and budget analyses.
• Partner with finance and operational leaders to simplify complex data into actionable insights.
• Monitor budget-to-actual performance, identify variances, and provide recommendations.
• Work with large datasets across multiple systems while maintaining data integrity and accuracy.
• Assist with reporting automation, process improvements, and system enhancements.
• Support data migration initiatives and ongoing reporting optimization projects.
• Present information in a clear, concise format that enables executive leadership to make informed business decisions.

What We're Looking For

Success in this role is driven just as much by attitude as technical ability. We're looking for someone who is:

• Highly analytical and genuinely enjoys working with data.
• Naturally curious and motivated to learn new systems and business processes.
• A self-starter who takes initiative and ownership.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment where priorities evolve.
• Able to communicate financial information clearly to both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
• Passionate about improving processes and finding more efficient ways to deliver insights.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.
• 1-4+ years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, accounting, business analytics, or a similar analytical role.
• Manufacturing finance or cost accounting experience is highly preferred.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, Power Query, advanced formulas, and data analysis.
• Experience working with SQL.
• Experience using ERP or accounting systems such as NetSuite, QuickBooks, SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms.
• Experience with Power BI or other business intelligence and reporting tools is a plus.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex information in a simple, executive-friendly format.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a high-visibility position offering significant exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to influence key business decisions. You'll gain hands-on experience with forecasting, financial modeling, reporting, process improvement, business intelligence, and strategic analysis while helping build scalable reporting solutions for a growing organization.

If you're looking for an opportunity where your ideas are valued, your technical skills will continue to grow, and your work will directly influence business performance, we'd love to hear from you.
