Please Note: This is a Utah-based hybrid position which will require some regular in-office days each week. Additionally, employment with BambooHR is contingent on passing both a background and credit check. 

We are seeking a detail-oriented Financial Analyst to join our FP&A team at BambooHR, where you will play a key role in delivering insights that drive strategic decisions.

Using tools such as Excel/Google Sheets, Workday Adaptive Planning, Power BI, and Databricks, you will create scalable reports and communicate insights through concise, audience-appropriate data storytelling.

The ideal candidate can quickly translate complex business questions into structured analysis, deliver timely outputs, and effectively communicate findings to stakeholders.
