Senior Financial Analyst

DCL Logistics • Ontario, CA

17d • $113,000 - $113,000 • Onsite

About The Position

If you are a finance professional who thrives where the numbers meet the operation, this role was built for you. DCL Logistics is looking for a seasoned Senior Financial Analyst to serve as a trusted financial partner to our leadership team — someone who brings clarity to complexity, turns data into decisions, and wants their work to matter beyond the spreadsheet. Rooted in accuracy, consistency, and long-term contribution, this role sits at the intersection of finance and logistics, where labor costs, client billing structures, and operational throughput are the real financial drivers. You will build and maintain financial models, lead budgeting and forecasting, and deliver reporting that leadership actually uses. This is not a back-office role — it is an operational seat at the table in a fast-paced, high-volume 3PL environment.

• Strong proficiency in Excel including advanced formulas and data modeling.
• Proficiency in JD Edwards (ERP) required.
