About The Position

At CADY, our Finance team is building a best-in-class reporting function that turns financial data into clear, actionable insight for leadership across a rapidly growing, multi-entity business. As the Senior Analyst, Financial Reporting, you will play a key role in the monthly and quarterly reporting cycle, working closely with the FP&A team to build and deliver Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) packets that explain not just what happened, but why. This role will help bridge Accounting and FP&A initiatives at a consolidated level — taking the numbers Accounting closes each month and helping translate them, alongside the FP&A team, into forward-looking insight leadership can act on. While sitting within FP&A and reporting to the Director of FP&A, this highly visible role partners closely with the Accounting Team, the rest of the FP&A team, and business leaders to ensure financial results are reported accurately, analyzed thoroughly, and communicated clearly. You'll lead variance analysis against budget and forecast, translate financial data into narrative insight, and help build reporting processes that scale with CADY's growth. The ideal candidate loves the "why" behind the numbers — a strong analytical mind who enjoys variance analysis, financial storytelling, and cross-functional partnering, and who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
