About The Position

We run a network of early childhood centers across DC, Virginia, and New Jersey, and we need someone who can show us where the business stands and where it's headed. As our Financial Analyst, you'll build the systems, data, and models behind our financial planning. You'll bring together data from QuickBooks Online, ADP Workforce Now, Brightwheel, and Google Workspace and turn it into the budgets, forecasts, and reports our leadership relies on to make decisions. This is a finance role delivered through information systems. Roughly half your time goes to designing, integrating, and validating financial and enrollment data systems. The other half goes to using those systems to produce budgets, forecasts, models, and management reporting. You'll report directly to the President, who sets priorities, reviews your work, and meets with you at least weekly.
