About this role
About the position
As a Financial Business Partner (Financial Reporting Analyst), you act as a financial resource for the corporate/granting area. You enjoy interpreting and analyzing financial data to assist managers in key decision-making processes. You find strengths in providing forecasting, budgeting and reporting to corporate finance. This role works closely with non-financial teams across the organization, so it calls for someone who is just as comfortable presenting to a room of program staff as they are building a financial model. You'll be the face of Finance to people who don't speak "finance" every day — as a liaison between corporate finance and programs, you handle concerns regarding any financial matters with clarity and confidence.
