About the Role

We are looking for a sharp, analytical, and business-savvy FP&A Analyst to join our growing Finance team. This is not a bookkeeping or accounting role — you will be the bridge between financial data and business decisions.

You will work closely with leadership, operations, and business teams to build MIS reports, drive financial models, run scenario analyses, and translate complex data into clear insights. You will sit alongside a team of 4 (including 2 Chartered Accountants) and be the go-to person for analytical firepower.

If you love working with numbers, hate static Excel files, and are excited about using AI tools to do your best work — this role is for you.

Design, build, and maintain monthly / weekly MIS dashboards for leadership

Automate recurring reports and flag variance drivers proactively

Ensure data accuracy and integrity across all financial reports

Financial Modeling & Analysis

Build robust financial models for budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning

Conduct variance analysis (actuals vs budget vs forecast) and present findings

Support revenue modeling, cost analysis, and margin improvement projects

Business Partnering

Work cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, and Product teams

Translate financial data into actionable business insights for non-finance stakeholders

Prepare crisp, well-structured presentations for leadership and investor reviews

Identify and implement process improvements in the finance workflow

Direct visibility with leadership — your work will drive real business decisions
