Financial Analyst

Description

Etegent Technologies is a defense-focused technology company with offices in Beavercreek and Blue Ash, OH. We are a multi-disciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and management professionals dedicated to developing and commercializing AI/ML/Software solutions that address our customers’ most significant challenges and opportunities.

Most important to us are our culture and values. Etegent’s culture embodies respect, authenticity, collaboration, flexibility, curiosity, and fun.

We are seeking to hire a Financial Analyst, who will serve as the analytical right hand to the Director of Finance, will be responsible for revenue and cash flow forecasting, financial modeling, and analysis that drives executive decision-making. This role owns the financial intelligence function as Etegent scales in revenue, providing rigorous analysis on contract profitability, business development opportunities, and growth scenarios.

The Financial Analyst acts as a partner to leadership, translating complex financial data into clear insights that inform key business decisions.

More so than seeking a candidate with specific training and experience, Etegent seeks a special type of person: someone with an innate curiosity and passion for learning and understanding, tempered by a recognition of the pragmatic constraints inherent in developing real solutions to real problems. They are flexible and adaptable, having the desire and ability to learn new skills and develop new capabilities to take on challenges outside their current realm of experience.

We are seeking very sharp, curious, well-rounded, adaptable people who can learn and grow as required to confront the challenges at hand.
