  • Provide CFO level support to business partners through delivering key financial analyses, aligning budget requests with organizational objectives and through providing strategic insights and actionable recommendations.
  • Recommend and implement improvements to existing FP&A processes by identifying and implementing best practices, driving operational efficiencies, and ensuring scalability of FP&A processes as the organization grows.
  • Support the annual budgeting process, working cross-functionally with different teams to ensure alignment on timelines, deliverables and most importantly, the annual strategic plan.
  • Support the development and assessment of departmental budget requests to ensure alignment with CAAT's strategy and support the preparation of the annual budget proposal document that ultimately goes to the Board of Trustees for approval.
  • Develop processes to determine the return on investment of various projects and initiatives across CAAT and oversee project costs tracking to ensure appropriate cost attribution.
  • Apply creative-thinking skills to solution for business decisions/questions that require ad-hoc financial analysis, modeling, and reporting while overseeing the execution of your solution, ensuring development of robust financial modelling and storytelling/communication skills across the team.
  • Build and/or lead the building of forecasting models to help provide financial insights and recommendations to inform business decisions by collaborating cross-functionally to collect and analyze data, financial and non-financial, to develop accurate financial projections.
  • Review quarterly budget variance reporting for the Board, oversee cost allocations in SAP S4Hana, maintain allocation methodology to reflect inter-department consumption, and lead meetings with departments to discuss actual spend, budget risks and opportunities to ensure accurate forecasting.
