About The Position

At NerdWallet, our mission is to bring clarity to consumers’ financial decisions. Achieving this requires a strong team of finance professionals who can provide accurate insights, support strategic decision-making, and drive operational discipline. We foster a collaborative and flexible environment where team members are empowered to grow, take thoughtful risks, and contribute meaningfully. Whether remote or in-office, we support how you work most effectively and invest in your development, well-being, and ability to deliver impact. As a Financial Analyst II, you’ll play a meaningful role in supporting NerdWallet’s corporate finance function. You’ll partner closely with stakeholders across the business to help them understand their financial performance, make informed decisions, and plan for the future. This role sits at the intersection of analysis, storytelling, and partnership—you’ll not only work with the numbers, but also help translate them into insights that drive action. In this role, you’ll contribute to core FP&A processes including forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning, while also supporting month-end close and ongoing financial reporting. You’ll build and maintain financial models, analyze trends and variances, and provide visibility into key performance indicators. Along the way, you’ll develop strong business partnership skills, gain exposure to senior stakeholders, and deepen your understanding of how finance supports a growing, dynamic company. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, working cross-functionally, and continuing to grow their financial skillset in a collaborative and fast-paced environment. You’ll operate with moderate independence, while also learning from a supportive team that values curiosity, ownership, and continuous improvement. This role reports to the Director, Corporate Finance.
