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.

Essential Job Duties

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. In this role, you will combine financial expertise and data analysis to support monthly, annual, and long-range planning, forecasting, and reporting.

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. You are comfortable working independently, managing priorities, and building strong relationships while maintaining a high level of ownership and curiosity.

• Past experience working with our tech stack is highly preferred: Workday Adaptive Planning, Databricks, Power BI.
