Business Analyst – Accounting Focus (Hybrid)

Type: Contract-to-Hire

Start Date: ASAP

We are seeking a highly analytical professional with a background in accounting or audit to join a growing team in a newly created, hybrid role. This position focuses on deep-dive analysis of customer spend, journal entries, and general ledger activity, with the goal of improving financial visibility and forecasting accuracy. You’ll play a critical role in reconciling actuals to projections, supporting a key client, and identifying areas of opportunity through data. While this role is more analytical than traditional accounting, the ideal candidate will have foundational accounting experience and a desire to move into a finance-focused career path. You’ll be working in Excel and a large ERP (SAP preferred) and collaborating closely with leadership to provide meaningful insights.

This is a business casual environment with interviews conducted via Microsoft Teams. The team is collaborative and growing, and this role offers an exciting opportunity to take ownership of analysis and support high-impact initiatives. Ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems, working cross-functionally, and building a foundation for a long-term finance career.

Requirements

Must Haves:

+ Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field

+ 1–5 years of experience in accounting, audit, or financial analysis

+ Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, data manipulation)

+ Experience with large ERP systems (SAP preferred)

+ Ability to dig into data, analyze variances, and reconcile discrepancies

+ Strong communication and problem-solving skills

+ Interest in transitioning from accounting to a finance/business analyst role
