Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A
About the role
As a Senior Financial Analyst, FP&A at Biofire, you will play a pivotal role in owning and maintaining Biofire's forward-looking financial picture — including the investor model and operational budget model — keeping them always current and accurate.
We are looking for someone who is analytically rigorous, operationally curious, and highly autonomous to contribute to our Financial Operations team and help give leadership a real-time, reliable view of the company's financial trajectory.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and maintain both the investor model and the operational budget model, ensuring neither is ever more than one week stale with the latest actuals and updated forecast assumptions;
- Investigate budget-to-actual variances independently — including going directly to department leads to understand drivers — and surface findings with context and narrative to the CFO;
- Build and operate department-level budget vs. actuals dashboards in Abacum so department leads can self-serve their budget position without requesting reports from finance;
- Migrate the investor model into Abacum (or equivalent integrated platform) so that both models share a single source of assumptions, eliminating the risk of inconsistent financial stories;
- Own the full data pipeline feeding the financial models — including Light, Palantir Foundry, and Abacum connections — diagnosing and resolving issues to ensure uninterrupted data flow.
Qualifications
- 4+ years of experience in FP&A, equity research, investment banking, or a related financial analysis role with a strong foundation in financial modeling and forecasting;
- Demonstrated experience building and maintaining driver-based financial models that reflect operational realities — not just financial formulas;
- Proficiency with FP&A platforms (e.g., Abacum, Adaptive, Anaplan) and advanced Excel; experience with data platforms (e.g., Palantir Foundry) is a plus;
- Strong business intuition and the ability to distinguish material variances from noise, investigate root causes, and communicate findings with context;
- Track record of working cross-functionally with non-finance stakeholders to collect data and build productive working relationships.
