Veterans United•Columbia, MO

About The Position

We’re looking for someone who enjoys digging into data, untangling complex processes and building solutions that make work simpler and smarter. Experience in accounting, financial analysis, data analytics, process improvement or technology-enabled operations can all translate well to this role. What matters most is your ability to dig into data, understand complex processes and turn what you learn into practical solutions. As a Financial Systems Analyst, you’ll partner closely with our Accounting team to make the way we work simpler, smarter and more scalable. You’ll get to know our existing processes, dig into the data behind them and look for opportunities to reduce repetitive work, strengthen controls and improve reporting. Then, you’ll help turn those opportunities into solutions using tools like SQL, Excel, Tableau, Python and AI-enabled technologies. The goal? Help our Accounting team spend less time preparing recurring reports and more time understanding the story behind the numbers. Curiosity comes naturally to you. When you see a process that takes five steps, you can’t help but wonder if it could take three. You enjoy solving problems and aren’t afraid to dig into the details to figure out what’s really going on. You can work with both technical and non-technical teammates and explain complicated ideas in a way that makes sense. You’re comfortable working independently, but you know the best solutions often come from working together. You can handle confidential financial information with care and good judgment. And when priorities change? You can adapt, refocus and keep things moving.

Requirements

Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas, scalable models and automation.
Strong quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills.
Experience working with data to spot trends, investigate exceptions and support business decisions.
An ability to break down complex processes and turn them into practical solutions.
A knack for learning new technology and finding smarter ways to work.

Nice To Haves

Experience with SQL, Python, Tableau, AI-enabled tools or similar technologies is a plus.

Validate your work to make sure solutions are accurate, reliable and built to last.
Explore thoughtful ways to use AI, automation and emerging technologies to improve accounting workflows.

Pitch in wherever needed, excluding licensed activity, to help make the team and culture stronger.
