About the role

We're looking for a Junior Financial Analyst to join our Finance team — a great fit for someone who is right out of school or finishing up their degree and eager to build a career in accounting and finance. This role reports to the Controller and provides broad exposure to financial analysis, accounting operations, and reporting across a rapidly growing, multi-entity retail company. This is a roll-up-your-sleeves position for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset — a self-starter who takes ownership, asks questions, and looks for ways to improve how things work rather than waiting to be told. We move fast and grow fast, and we want someone who's motivated to grow with us.
