Harrison Gray Search is recruiting on behalf of our client for a Senior FP&A Analyst.
Overview
Our client is a nationally recognized, independent wealth management firm providing comprehensive financial services, including investments, planning, tax and business consulting, estate strategies, and family office support.

• Clear link between your analysis and firm-wide strategic decisions
Location & Work Model

• On-site presence expected 3 days per week, with 2 days remote once fully onboarded
• Standard business hours; some extended hours (up to ~50/week) during month-end and quarter-end cycles
Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field
• 5 years of progressive FP&A experience, including financial modeling, budgeting, and forecasting
• Advanced Excel skills; familiarity with Power BI, Tableau, or other BI/reporting tools
