财务分析师
Financial Analyst
Smalls 是一个高端 DTC 猫粮和猫生活方式品牌，其核心理念是：对主人最重要的人，值得拥有真正反映这份重要的食物。我们为猫咪制作新鲜、可食用级的食物，过去八年里打造了一个外观和体验都与袋内产品一样精心的品牌。
我们正在寻找一名财务分析师，位于财务与运营的交汇点，为跨部门提供财务分析、报告和业务支持。你将支持并为我们的战略财务经理提供助力，特别是在核心持续性及战略预测和规划工作上——将业务战略转化为管理层可以信赖的数据。
这是一个个人贡献者角色，有成长为高级分析师的发展路径，适合那些希望在关键时刻通过 FP&A 影响运营和战略决策，而非事后补救的人。
### 该职位的职责
这是负责维护持续性 FP&A 体系的人，这样我们的战略财务经理就能花更多时间进行战略性工作。你将全程负责预算和年度重新预测周期的各个部分——数据收集、财务建模和差异分析，并通过生成原始材料和支持跨职能合作伙伴准确及时地进行摊销来支持财务结算。你还将建立自动化报告和 FP&A 流程，让精简的财务团队发挥出超出预期的能力，利用 AI 工具、FP&A 软件或两者结合。
### 该职位不涉及的内容
**不是通才角色**——这需要明确的财务和财务建模经验，而不是广泛的运营经验。当然，愿意在核心 FP&A 之外进行临时分析的人会是一个加分项——关键在于财务基础，而不是僵化。
**不是过度侧重战略的岗位**——团队已经具备强大的战略思维；这个职位需要的是务实且有条理的人，能够负责预测和报告的细节工作。
### 你需要具备的条件
- 拥有金融、会计或相关领域的学士学位。
- 有 2-4 年财务分析、FP&A、会计或相关分析类工作的经验。
- 你的 Excel 和财务建模技能非常熟练——你可以从零开始构建预测和差异分析。
- 你对三张财务报表及其驱动因素有扎实的理解；你能将运营 KPI 与财务科目联系起来。
- 你是一名优秀的沟通者，能够解释一个变量如何影响结果。

Smalls is a premium DTC cat food and cat lifestyle brand built on a single belief: the cats who matter most to their people deserve food that actually reflects that. We make fresh, human-grade food for cats, and we've spent eight years building a brand that looks and feels as considered as the product inside the bag.
We're looking for a Financial Analyst to sit at the intersection of finance and operations, providing financial analysis, reporting, and business partnering across functions. You'll support and provide leverage to our Strategic Finance Manager, particularly on core recurring and strategic forecasting and planning work — turning business strategy into numbers leadership can trust.
This is an individual contributor role with a growth path to Senior Analyst, for someone who wants FP&A to inform operational and strategic decisions at a time to actually effect change, not after the fact.
### What This Role Is
This is the person who takes ownership of the recurring FP&A engine so our Strategic Finance Manager can spend more time on strategic work. You'll own components of the budgeting and in-year re-forecast cycle end to end — data gathering, financial modeling, and variance analysis — and support financial close by producing source materials and coordinating accurate, timely accruals with cross-functional partners. You'll also build out the automated reporting and FP&A processes that let a lean finance team punch above its weight, leveraging AI tools, FP&A software, or both.
### What This Role Is Not
**A generalist role** — this requires explicit finance and financial modeling experience, not broad operational exposure. That said, some appetite to flex beyond core FP&A for ad-hoc analysis is a plus — the line is finance grounding, not rigidity.
**An over-indexed strategic seat** — the team already has strong strategic thinking; this role needs someone tactical and methodical who can own the mechanics of forecasting and reporting.
### Who You Are
- You hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
- You have 2–4 years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, accounting, or a related analytical role.
- Your Excel and financial modeling skills are advanced — you can build a forecast and variance analysis from scratch.
- You have a solid grasp of the three financial statements and the drivers behind them; you can connect operational KPIs to financial line items.
- You are a strong communicator who can explain a variance to non-finance stakeholders and collaborate effectively with partners across a range of financial backgrounds — we're a lean team with no translation layer, so this matters especially in partnering closely with Operations.
- Nice to have:
- Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) and experience automating finance-specific workflows or otherwise using AI to improve your output.
- BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker) and/or a planning tool (Vena, Pigment, Data Rails, Cube).
- ERP exposure. (Netsuite) — if coming from the accounting side, auditing exposure is preferred over implementation exposure.)
- Consumer/CPG/DTC experience.
### **What you’ll love about us:**
- **Mission-Driven Company:** We love cats and we're here to make nine lives ten.
- **People-Driven Company:** We treat our people like people; we're committed to Smalls, and we work hard but also respect everyone’s lives outside of work.
- **Data-Driven Culture:** We love using data to guide decision-making where appropriate, but we also know when to move quickly and go with our gut.
- **Competitive Salary:** Make some $$$.
- **Very Competitive Benefits:** Fully paid Health, Vision, and Dental insurance. 4-day work week. Unlimited PTO.
- **Fully Remote Office & Culture:** Our team is spread across the US day to day, but we travel for department & company off-sites and retreats.
- **Free Product:** Free cat food every month.
