The opportunity
SumBridge is partnering with a mission-driven, community-based nonprofit organization to hire a Senior Financial Analyst. This is a highly visible seat: you'll be the financial partner senior and operational leaders lean on to understand performance, pressure-test decisions, and plan what's next — with a particular focus on the financial health of grant-funded programs.
If you want analysis that actually changes decisions, at an organization where those decisions affect access to services, this is a strong fit.

- Coordinate and contribute to the annual budget and quarterly forecasts alongside a team of financial analysts
- Analyze revenue and expense, balance sheet, and cash flow statements at the operating-unit and organization level
- Identify trends, opportunities, and improvement areas through analysis and modeling
- Build and analyze pre-award grant budgets, and review budget-to-actual results with program stakeholders, fund development, and grants management
- Translate results into narratives, visualizations, and conversations that land with senior leaders
- Prepare ad hoc financial models pulling data from a variety of disparate systems
- Own the financial reporting components of annual regulatory reports to state and federal agencies
- Administer the FP&A system and its related internal controls, and support a new system implementation — including stakeholder adoption
Help build out treasury management within the FP&A function and support the annual risk management policy renewal
What you'll bring

- Advanced MS Excel — complex formulas, pivots, and lookups — with real fluency pulling and reconciling data from systems that don't talk to each other

- Power BI experience for building reports and dashboards that non-finance stakeholders can actually use
