Sr. Financial Analyst

Corporate Budgeting Analyst 3 (Sr. Financial Analyst) | Tysons (on-site) | $90-115K + bonus A leading engineering and technology solutions organization is seeking a Corporate Budgeting Analyst 3 to join its Finance team. Reporting to the Sr. Finance Manager, this high-visibility role offers the opportunity to support strategic finance initiatives, improve reporting and planning processes, and partner with senior leadership across the business. This position is ideal for a hands-on, analytical finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants long-term career growth in finance and accounting. The right candidate will bring strong ownership, advanced Excel skills, and the ability to communicate clearly with executives and cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

Corporate Budgeting & Planning

• Partner with department leaders to develop annual budgets, supporting schedules, and related documentation for shared service functions
• Lead indirect procurement initiatives, including RFPs, enterprise-wide vendor agreements, and rebate program management
• Administer budgeting and procurement controls
• Perform month-end close activities, including cost reviews, variance analysis, prepaid and accrual reconciliations, and internal cost allocations
• Collaborate with internal systems and programming teams to automate transactions, reporting, and reconciliations
• Support finance leadership with special projects and broader corporate initiatives

Financial Reporting

• Assist with financial reporting in a complex, multi-entity environment that includes numerous subsidiaries, shared service centers, and international operations
• Perform general ledger reconciliations, corporate allocations, intercompany eliminations, and adjusting journal entries
• Support the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Assist with annual audits and corporate tax preparation
• Contribute to process simplification and automation across recurring accounting activities
• Exposure to job cost accounting and percentage-of-completion accounting is helpful, but can be learned in the role

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• 4+ years of experience in a finance or accounting department within a mid-sized company with strong BUDGETING experience
• MBA and/or CPA preferred
• Advanced Excel skills required
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to analyze data, summarize findings clearly, and present insights effectively
• Self-driven, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking a hands-on approach

Why This Role Stands Out This is a strong opportunity for a finance professional who wants exposure to senior leadership and the chance to contribute beyond traditional budgeting. You’ll work on impactful corporate initiatives, support process improvements, and help shape financial planning and reporting within a sophisticated operating environment. My client has a track record of company growth as well as developing and promoting employees from within.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance
• Paid time off
• Tuition reimbursement
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Military Reserve pay offset
