Description

From weddings and celebrations to corporate gatherings and major sporting productions, our team works behind the scenes to bring events to life. We take pride in delivering exceptional experiences, embracing creativity, and making every event run seamlessly.

We believe extraordinary events start with extraordinary people. If you take pride in your work, enjoy collaborating with a supportive team, and want to be part of something bigger, you’ll feel at home here.

About the Job

We're looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to own budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting across our California, Arizona, and Texas markets. You'll partner closely with department heads, operations, and sales leadership to build forecasts, analyze performance, and turn financial data into clear, actionable insight. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who's comfortable building models from scratch, explaining the "why" behind the numbers to non-finance partners, and helping modernize how we report and forecast as the business grows.

What You’ll Do

Own and maintain the company's budget and forecast model for CA, AZ, and Texas, including the full P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and headcount forecasts

Lead the annual budgeting cycle in partnership with department heads, from initial targets through board-ready consolidation

Develop into a subject matter expert on financial systems, including their setup, limitations, and maintenance requirements

Liaise with executive, management, and operational stakeholders to identify key performance indicators, their trends, and underlying drivers

Build the monthly reporting package that identifies variances between budget and prior year (PY)

Partner with centers of excellence across sales and operations as an embedded finance resource — pressure-testing assumptions, sizing initiatives, and building business cases for new investment

Develop unit economics and cohort analysis to inform pricing, purchasing, and timing decisions

Support headcount planning across SG&A and COGS in partnership with Operations and Human Resources

Run the monthly forecast process for CA, AZ, and Texas; deliver variance analysis against budget and prior forecast with clear explanations of drivers

Improve the reporting stack — automating manual work, tightening data definitions, and reducing close-to-insight cycle time while improving accuracy

Support ad hoc analysis for strategic projects as needed

Requirements

What You Bring (Required)

3–5 years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, consulting, corporate finance, or a comparable analytical role

Advanced Excel modeling skills — able to build a driver-based three-statement model from a blank sheet

Strong grounding in accounting fundamentals and how the three statements connect

Demonstrated ability to explain financial results to non-financial partners, with strong relationship-building skills

High attention to detail paired with good judgment about what's material and what isn't

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field

What You Bring (Preferred)

Private equity–backed company experience

Experience with a planning tool (Planful, Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, etc.) and an ERP (NetSuite, Sage Intacct, SAP)

SQL proficiency and comfort working directly with BI tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI)

Prior experience in the rental industry

Experience supporting a board or an audit

MBA, CPA, or CFA
