ROLE OVERVIEW

The Financial Analyst will support the Finance team with the recurring analysis, reporting, and planning activities that help Seraphina understand performance and make sound business decisions. Reporting to the Senior Financial Analyst, this role will assist with monthly close reporting, financial model updates, weekly dashboard reviews, budgeting, and a wide range of ad hoc business questions.

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career finance professional who has strong foundational analytical skills and is hungry to learn. The right person will be curious, willing to dig into the data, comfortable asking questions, and able to take direction without needing every step mapped out. They will join a collaborative, fast-moving team where they can build broad FP&A experience and take on greater responsibility over time.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• • Analyze customer performance, operating expenses, unit economics, and other business drivers as needed, validating the data and clearly communicating findings or inconsistencies.
• • Contribute wherever needed within a lean Finance team and take on increasingly complex work as knowledge and capability grow.

• Monthly Reporting, Close & Financial Model Support

• Data Quality, Systems & Process Improvement
• • Review weekly dashboard data and confirm that information from multiple sources and system integrations is flowing through completely and accurately.
