Senior Accounting Analyst

Key Responsibilities

• Own the monthly financial analysis for two assigned subsidiary entities, including P&L performance, margin analysis, and cost structure review
• Investigate and explain variances against budget, forecast, and prior periods — with root-cause explanation grounded in operational drivers, not just account-level movement
• Develop and maintain entity-level KPIs and operating metrics; build reporting that makes entity performance visible to management
• Analyze cost behavior across the entities: fixed versus variable, cost per unit, labor productivity, freight and logistics cost, shrink and inventory loss, and other operating cost categories
• Perform gross margin and customer/product profitability analysis; identify margin leakage and quantify the impact
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning for the assigned entities

Business and Financial Analysis (Primary Focus)

• Build direct working relationships with entity operations leadership; spend time understanding how the business runs, not only how it reports
• Serve as the finance point of contact for the assigned entities on questions of financial performance, cost, and process
• Surface operational and process issues that carry financial consequence, and work with the business to quantify and address them
• Participate in entity-level business reviews and present analysis to both entity and corporate leadership
• Identify process inefficiencies and control weaknesses observed through analysis; recommend and help implement improvements

Technical Accounting and General Ledger Support

• Apply US GAAP to entity-level results; identify where accounting treatment, cut-off, accrual adequacy, or classification may be distorting reported performance and escalate or resolve accordingly
• Perform account reconciliations, prepare journal entries, and support month-end and quarter-end close for the assigned entities as needed — including during coverage gaps, audit periods, system changes, or peak workload
• Support the corporate accounting and financial reporting teams with entity-level analytical input into the consolidation and external reporting process, including flux analysis and management discussion support
• Respond to internal and external audit requests relating to entity performance, analytical procedures, and supporting documentation
• Take on additional accounting and finance responsibilities as the needs of a growing organization evolve
