• Analyze performance metrics and identify key trends, opportunities, and risks to drive smarter business decisions.
• Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting-including variance and trend analysis (actual vs. budget, period over period).
• Support ongoing system enhancements and serve as a backup administrator for the bank's financial planning and reporting platform.
• Streamline processes for financial data aggregation, reconciliation, and reporting accuracy.
• Collaborate and partner with the various areas to deliver executive-level dashboards and actionable insights.
• Assist in preparing documentation for internal audits, external reviews, and regulatory reporting.
• Embrace new technology and innovation by leveraging automation, dashboards, and predictive analytics to elevate FP&A processes.

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or related field or equivalent experience required.
• Minimum 3 years of related FP&A or financial analysis experience required, preferably within financial services.
