Job Overview

The FP&A Analyst supports the full financial planning cycle at Airspace: budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and variance analysis across a fast-growing business with several subsidiaries. Reporting to the Director of FP&A, you’ll produce management-facing reports, help build the annual budget, and run analyses to support operational decision-making.

This role is a good fit for someone early in their finance career who is detail-oriented, works well against deadlines, and is comfortable pulling data across systems to build clear, accurate reporting. You’ll get real ownership early, learn how a scaling finance team operates, and have room to take on more complex analyses as you grow.

Financial Reporting

Support monthly internal financial reviews, such as budget vs. actual variance analyses.
Prepare monthly and quarterly financial reporting for the Board of Directors.
Support monthly investor reporting.
Maintain internal and external-facing long-term financial models.
Own monthly compliance reporting.

Budgeting, Forecasting & Modeling Support

Support the bottoms-up budget build during the annual planning cycle, working with department owners to gather data and forecast their spend.
Build and maintain tools for department heads to manage their budgets.

Cross-Functional & Ad Hoc

Take on ad hoc analysis and automation projects to increase team efficiency.

Requirements

1–2+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, or a similar analytical role (strong internships considered).
A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a related quantitative field.
Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills, including working with large data sets, and building clean, auditable models.
Exposure to NetSuite and an HRIS or payroll system like Rippling is a plus.
Comfort building board- and executive-level slides in PowerPoint and Google Slides.
A solid grounding in core FP&A concepts, including budget-vs-actual, variance analysis, and margin.
Strong attention to detail and the discipline to hit recurring deadlines.
Clear writing and communication, with the ability to turn data into concise summaries for leadership.
A collaborative approach and genuine interest in growing with the team.
