What You Will Do

We are seeking a Corporate Finance Analyst to join our dynamic Finance team and contribute meaningfully to our next phase of growth. This isn’t your average analyst role—it’s a high-impact, high-visibility position for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. You’ll play a vital role in shaping financial narratives for executive leadership and the board, supporting strategic decisions around forecasting, operations, and M&A.

Ideal candidates will be able to:

  • Build and maintain integrated 3 statement financial models for short- and long-term planning, incorporating scenario analysis, macro trends, and operational KPIs.
  • Provide financial insight through clear, concise reporting that supports decision-making for C-Suite leadership and the board.
  • Design and optimize reporting tools, dashboards, and systems that translate complex data into actionable strategies.
  • Validate accuracy of deliverables to ensure leadership has the necessary information for data driven decision making.
  • Partner cross-functionally with executive leadership to forecast financial performance, identify risks and opportunities, and drive accountability.
  • Support the annual budgeting process and contribute to board and investor communications with compelling analysis.
  • Monitor market trends and public comparables in the Financial SaaS and professional services space to inform strategy.
  • Assist with M&A initiatives including target evaluation, due diligence, and financial modeling.
  • Participate in post-merger financial integration and help align acquired entities with Spaulding Ridge’s standards and practices.
  • Embrace and experiment with AI tools, large language models, and automation to improve efficiency and elevate finance capabilities.

 Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
  • 3+ years of relevant experience (e.g., investment banking, FP&A, private equity, or corporate finance)
  • Deep experience with forward-looking full financial models inclusive of M&A
  • Proficiency in Excel; familiarity with financial tools and platforms like Anaplan, NetSuite, or similar ERP/reporting tools is a plus
  • Understanding of financial statements, GAAP, valuation methodologies, and M&A processes
  • Detail oriented and experience with large data sets with a hunger to chase down the “why” of analysis
  • Exceptional communication skills—able to convey complex financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders
  • A collaborative, low-ego teammate who thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Passionate about tech innovation in finance, especially AI-driven tools and LLMs
