Sr. Financial Analyst

We are partnering with a large, established energy organization in Houston that is adding a Senior Financial Analyst to its team. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys digging into the business, working closely with operational teams, and using financial analysis to help leadership make better decisions.

The organization offers a hybrid work schedule, strong benefits, excellent retirement contributions, and long-term career growth opportunities.

Sr. Financial Analyst Responsibilities: This role sits at the intersection of finance and the business. Rather than spending the majority of the time producing recurring reports, this individual will be expected to understand what is happening operationally, determine the financial impact, and help leadership evaluate different paths forward.

A significant portion of the role will involve building financial models from the ground up, analyzing potential investments, and working through "what-if" scenarios. The team is looking for someone who can take an open-ended business question and develop the financial analysis needed to answer it.

• Build financial models from the ground up to support strategic and operational decisions.
• Partner closely with Operations to understand business performance, key drivers, and areas of opportunity.
• Develop business cases and financial analyses for potential investments and growth initiatives.
• Analyze multiple business scenarios and provide insight into potential financial outcomes.
• Perform ad hoc analysis in response to changing business needs and leadership requests.
• Analyze financial and operational results to identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Support planning and forecasting activities while providing greater insight into underlying business drivers.
• Turn complex financial and operational data into clear recommendations for management.
• Prepare financial analyses and presentations for leadership.
• Help enhance reporting and analytical capabilities across the finance organization.
• Work cross-functionally on special projects and other business initiatives.

Why Consider This Opportunity? This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond a traditional FP&A role and become more involved in the operational and strategic side of the business. The position offers significant variety, exposure to different areas of the organization, and the opportunity to see your analysis directly influence business decisions. The company also offers a hybrid work environment, excellent benefits, a very strong retirement program, and opportunities for continued professional growth.
