The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  SmartSolutions is hiring a Senior Financial Analyst in Berkeley, CA.

• Role description

  Books that balance are expected; insight that drives strategy is what earns this Senior Financial Analyst a seat at SmartSolutions. The pitch is honest — $144,000 - $190,000, real ownership of finance outcomes, and a SmartSolutions crew in Berkeley that has your back.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Own the Variance Analysis-to-Financial Modeling handoff so reporting never stalls between teams
  • Field the self-directed ad-hoc analysis the CFO needs before Monday
  • Sit beside the Berkeley controller on accruals, deferrals, and journal entries
  • Settle expense reports fast enough that nobody chases you twice
  • Build variance commentary executives actually read top to bottom
  • Build and maintain budgets, forecasts, and variance analyses for SmartSolutions
  • Own the accounts-payable cycle from invoice intake through final disbursement
  • Build budget-vs-actual reviews managers across Berkeley look forward to

  What You'll Bring

  • Fluency across Variance Analysis and Financial Modeling, with strong opinions on both
  • Comfort being accountable for a calmly-fast-moving outcome in a part-time role
  • Solid Workday Adaptive Planning grounding, plus Excel you can pick up on the fly
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

  What sets SmartSolutions apart isn't size but a mentorship-focused Berkeley culture that refuses to ship Variance Analysis it wouldn't trust itself. A senior engineer and a director debate Payroll Processing ideas on equal footing in our Berkeley standups.

  Our offer wraps $144,000 - $190,000 around mentorship, real benefits, and the kind of Berkeley, CA flexibility most finance roles only promise.
