About the Opportunity
A fast-growing U.S.-based financial consulting firm is seeking a Financial Analyst & Reporting Specialist to support its Fractional CFO services division. This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in financial forecasting, modeling, reporting, and business analysis who enjoys turning data into actionable insights.

The selected candidate will play a key role in helping clients improve financial visibility, optimize performance, and make strategic business decisions.
This is a highly collaborative and proactive role that combines financial analysis, reporting oversight, and strategic support. Candidates must be comfortable working during U.S. business hours.
