What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operations Finance Analyst position at Porter Logistics?
About Porter Logistics
Porter Logistics is a fast-growing 3PL provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. In just 10 years, we've scaled from a two-person startup in 10,000 sq. ft. to over 750,000 sq. ft. of space across three Atlanta-area warehouses, serving some of the world's most recognized brands. We were recently recognized as an Inc. 5000 company—a list of the fastest-growing privately held companies in America.
Our growth is fueled by a relentless commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction, but it's our people who make it possible. At Porter, you'll find a fast-paced, hands-on environment where no two days are the same. We value teamwork, ownership, and integrity—and we're passionate about building careers, not just filling roles. If you're energized by challenges, seeking limitless growth in a rapidly scaling organization, and ready to make a tangible impact, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
We're looking for an Operational Finance Analyst to be the engine behind our billing accuracy and operational insights. You'll own monthly billing for 60 clients, investigate discrepancies at their source, and transform operational data into actionable decisions that improve margins, service quality, and throughput.
This is a high-visibility, hands-on role reporting directly to our CEO and co-founder—offering a unique opportunity to learn the business from the ground up while making an immediate impact.
This is a hybrid position that will require onsite presence at our Atlanta, GA HQ 3-4 days per week.

What You'll Do
Own the Billing Process
- Manage end-to-end monthly billing for 60 clients: generate invoices, reconcile line items (storage, handling, value-added services), and ensure rate cards and SOPs are applied correctly
- Ensure every invoice is accurate, timely, and reflects the work we've delivered
- Investigate billing inconsistencies by tracing issues back to their root causes
- Document findings and partner with Operations and Customer Success teams to implement lasting solutions
- Analyze key operational metrics including receipts, picks, accuracy rates, cycle counts, and service levels
- Surface trends and recommend process improvements or resource adjustments that enhance efficiency and profitability
- Spend time on the warehouse floor to understand workflows firsthand
- Validate data against real-world operations and become a subject-matter expert on how we move goods and generate revenue
- Partner with Customer Service Representatives, Warehouse Leads, and leadership to prioritize fixes, standardize processes, and support initiatives that elevate customer experience and margins
What We're Looking For:
- Advanced Excel proficiency: PivotTables, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, nested IF/IFS functions, text parsing, and data cleaning
- Experience with billing, accounts receivable, revenue operations, or data analysis (internships and relevant coursework count)
- You enjoy digging into messy problems and tracking them to first principles
- You document clear steps and root causes—not just symptoms
- Strong written communication with organized documentation and tracking
- Follow-through mentality: you close loops and keep stakeholders informed
- BA/BS preferred in Finance, Accounting, Supply Chain, Analytics, or related field
- New graduates welcome—we value aptitude and drive over industry experience
- 3PL or logistics background is a plus but not required
