  • Support annual budgeting and rolling forecasting processes.
  • Analyze product and channel profitability, including COGS and inventory data.
  • Analyze spending trends and identify areas where costs are running ahead of plan.
  • Partner with Accounting to ensure reporting aligns with closed financials and investigate unexpected results.
  • Build ad hoc financial analyses and turn complex or messy data into clear recommendations for leadership.
  • Use AI tools, primarily Claude, to accelerate data cleanup, documentation, reconciliation, and first-draft analysis while independently validating outputs.
  • Improve recurring reporting processes by replacing manual steps with scalable templates and workflows.

  • Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment.
  • Experience in SaaS environment

Nice-to-Have
