If you're excited about using data to drive strategic decisions in a high-growth environment, we'd love to meet you. ## The Role We're looking for a Business & Finance Analyst to support financial planning, reporting, and analysis across the company. This is a high-ownership role that sits at the intersection of finance, revenue operations, and business intelligence. You will be a direct partner to the COO, CFO, Controller, and leadership team on everything from lender reporting and board materials to pipeline modelling, customer-level revenue reconciliation, and the ad hoc strategic projects that come with a fast-growing business. This role requires someone who is comfortable in the details of a multi-stream SaaS revenue model, understanding not just what the numbers say but equally willing to figure out how they are constructed, where they come from in the underlying systems, and how to explain discrepancies clearly to external stakeholders including lenders and auditors. ## Key Responsibilities Financial Planning & Reporting - Build and maintain financial models (budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning) - Analyze company performance against targets;

comfortable with financial modeling - Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills - Strong data reconciliation skills; comfortable working across multiple source systems and identifying discrepancies - Fluent English (written and spoken) - Availability to work aligned with EST or CST timezone hours Mindset - Proactive — takes ownership and moves things forward without waiting to be told - Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities - Resourceful — finds ways to get things done with limited time or resources - Adaptable, willing to wear multiple hats as the company grows - Proactive communicator — surfaces issues and inconsistencies before they become problems - High ownership — treats deliverables as if they are going directly to a lender, board member, or customer executive, because they often are - Comfortable scoping and running self-directed special projects — takes an open-ended question and turns it into a structured, decision-ready answer ## Nice to Have - Experience in a startup or SaaS/tech environment - Experience in retail, loss prevention, or security industries - Familiarity with BI/reporting tools - NetSuite experience - HubSpot experience - Prior exposure to board-level, investor, or customer-facing reporting - Experience in a SaaS or subscription-revenue business;
