Financial Analyst

Role Overview

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain project, customer, service, and contract profitability models, including revenue, direct cost, resource cost, subcontractor cost, travel, infrastructure, and other relevant delivery costs.
• Analyze project margins, gross contribution, cost-to-complete, burn rates, committed costs, and forecast-at-completion to identify financial risks and opportunities early.
• Partner with PMO and Operations leaders to link operational KPIs - including resource utilization, billability, project progress, support workload, and delivery milestones - to financial performance and margin outcomes.
• Support resource planning and cost optimization by analyzing staffing mix, utilization, onsite/offshore deployment, overtime, travel, vendor usage, and other operational cost drivers.
• Prepare financial feasibility studies, business cases, ROI analyses, and scenario models for new projects, service offerings, investments, hiring plans, technology initiatives, and operational changes.
• Support Operations teams with costing and pricing analysis for proposals, renewals, change requests, managed services, support agreements, and other customer opportunities, while maintaining appropriate Finance approval controls.
• Monitor contract and project financial performance, including revenue assumptions, milestone status, invoicing readiness, unbilled items, accrual needs, and collection-related information, and escalate risks to the relevant owners.
• Prepare monthly and quarterly management dashboards and performance packs covering revenue, cost, margin, budget variance, forecast, project profitability, resource economics, and key operational-financial indicators.
• Validate financial and operational data used in reports and models, maintain assumptions and supporting documentation, and ensure a clear audit trail and consistent definitions across reporting periods.
• Coordinate with Finance to ensure alignment of management reporting with accounting records, cost-center structures, revenue recognition inputs, intercompany allocations, and corporate financial policies without duplicating Finance ownership.
• Develop and improve analytical tools, templates, and dashboards using advanced Excel and, where available, Power BI, Oracle/ERP, EPM, or other approved platforms to reduce manual work and improve reporting accuracy.
• Identify cost-saving, productivity, and margin-improvement opportunities and track agreed initiatives through measurable financial benefits and operational KPIs.
