- Evaluating new methodologies and practices, such as the use of data analytics, alternative forecasting and/or planning cycles to bring new thinking into the organization
- Performing ad hoc financial analysis to support key business decisions and drive high-impact projects that influence the whole of Bloomberg
- Identify gaps and propose changes to existing policies, systems, and frameworks. Develop scalable solutions, work to manage risks across the organization, and develop best practices
- Working closely with our Accounting and FP&A teams to develop an in-depth, comprehensive understanding of the company's operations to enhance the usability of information that impacts key business areas and evolve our financial forecasting and reporting processes
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders in business planning, headcount management, and the setting of key organizational performance metrics
You'll need to have:
- 7+ years of relevant experience in Finance
- Bachelor's degree required
- Demonstrable experience working with and influencing executive stakeholders
- Expert modeling skills with exemplary attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy

- Experience implementing strategic and large-scale projects in a demanding and fast-paced environment with a high degree of deadline-driven productivity
- Proven ability to work with different team members to design processes and implement strategic projects that solve business problems
- Strong sense of ownership and leadership
We'd love to see:
- CFA is a plus
