About the role

The FP&A Analyst supports the full financial planning cycle at Airspace: budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and variance analysis across a fast-growing business with several subsidiaries. Reporting to the Director of FP&A, you’ll produce management-facing reports, help build the annual budget, and run analyses to support operational decision-making. This role is ideal for someone early in their finance career who is detail-oriented, works well against deadlines, and is comfortable pulling data across systems to build clear, accurate reporting. You’ll gain real ownership early, learn how a scaling finance team operates, and have room to take on more complex analyses as you grow.

Responsibilities

• Support monthly internal financial reviews, such as budget vs. actual variance analyses.
• Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting for the Board of Directors.
• Support monthly investor reporting.
• Maintain internal and external-facing long-term financial models.
• Own monthly compliance reporting.
• Support the bottoms-up budget build during the annual planning cycle, working with department owners to gather data and forecast their spend.
• Build and maintain tools for department heads to manage their budgets.
• Take on ad hoc analysis and automation projects to increase team efficiency.

Requirements

• 1–2+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, or a similar analytical role (strong internships considered).
• A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related quantitative field.
• Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills, including working with large data sets and building clean, auditable models.
• Exposure to NetSuite and an HRIS or payroll system like Rippling is a plus.
• Comfort building board- and executive-level slides in PowerPoint and Google Slides.
• Solid grounding in core FP&A concepts, including budget-vs-actual, variance analysis, and margin.
• Strong attention to detail and the discipline to hit recurring deadlines.
• Clear writing and communication, with the ability to turn data into concise summaries for leadership.
• A collaborative approach and genuine interest in growing with the team.
