Numbers tell a story. Are you the one who can read it before anyone else does?

We're looking for a sharp, curious Financial Analyst to join our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team — the group senior leaders turn to when they need the truth behind the trends and the confidence to make big decisions. This isn't a spreadsheet-in-a-corner job. Your analysis will land in front of executives, shape strategy, and directly influence where the company invests, grows, and wins.

If you love turning raw data into a clear point of view — and you want a seat at the table where real decisions get made — keep reading.

What You'll Own

Financial Planning and Forecasting

• Build and refine the financial models that drive budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning.
• Dig into historical performance to spot trends, predict what's next, and get ahead of the story.

Budget Management

• Partner directly with department leaders to shape budgets that actually reflect the business.
• Track performance against plan, flag the variances that matter, and recommend the moves to fix them.

Performance Analysis

• Deliver deep-dive analysis — actuals vs. budget vs. forecast — that cuts through the noise.
• Pinpoint what's driving results and turn those insights into recommendations that boost profitability and sharpen performance.

Strategic Decision Support

• Arm senior leadership with the insights behind their biggest calls: cost optimization, pricing, and investment opportunities.
• Model the "what ifs" — scenarios and sensitivity analyses that reveal the upside and the risk before a dollar is spent.

Reporting and Communication

• Craft clear, compelling reports, dashboards, and executive summaries that make complex numbers easy to act on.
• Deliver accurate, on-time reporting that leadership can trust and standards demand.

What You Bring

We're seeking candidates with a local presence in Knoxville, TN or the surrounding communities.

This position does not support immigration sponsorship. To be considered, you must have the legal right to work in the United States without additional sponsorship.

• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a related business field (required)
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience (preferred)
• Prior financial analysis experience (preferred)

Specialized Knowledge

• Advanced Microsoft Office skills
• A solid grasp of data analytics and reporting
• Working knowledge of financial, reporting, and database systems — Oracle EPM, Infor FSM, Tableau

What Sets You Apart

• Real financial acumen — you get the "why" behind the numbers
• The independence to juggle multiple priorities and projects with minimal oversight
• Standout strategic, analytical, and problem-solving instincts
• Sharp organizational skills and a genuine eye for detail
• A collaborator who can influence, negotiate, and navigate tough conversations
• Communication skills strong enough to make finance make sense to non-finance teammates

Why You'll Want This Role

You'll do work that's seen — by the people who run the business. You'll grow fast, learn from leaders who value analytical firepower, and build a career where your insight has a direct line to impact.
