  • Prepare the firm’s quarterly earnings estimate, summarize the results for senior management, and handle follow-up questions and any open items raised during discussion.
  • Assess external consensus earnings models maintained by coverage analysts and act as a main contact for these outside stakeholders.
  • Analyze quarterly P&L forecasts and actual results, including variance trends versus prior periods, and turn the findings into a concise story explaining performance across major business lines such as Investment Banking, Capital Markets, and Asset Management.
  • Partner with the External Reporting team to support the timely and accurate release of the firm’s quarterly earnings press announcement.
  • Build weekly discussion materials and agendas for meetings with the firm Controller and CFO.
  • Support the development and management of junior team members by ensuring they are trained and given the guidance they need.
  • Work with IT to create, improve, and maintain reporting tools, dashboards, and AI agents.
  • Provide ad hoc analysis and executive presentations on topics such as segment profitability, total addressable market opportunities, market share and competitor review, and return on tangible equity scenario analysis.

Requirements

  • At least 6 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, investor relations, financial reporting, or a closely related finance function, ideally within financial services and preferably at an investment bank.
  • Strong understanding of forecasting, budgeting, accounting fundamentals, financial markets, and financial products.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint, with the ability to convert large datasets into clear, executive-level analysis and presentations.
  • Hands-on experience building sophisticated financial models.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, strong attention to detail, and the capacity to manage several priorities in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex financial information to different audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to build relationships, collaborate across functions, engage with stakeholders at all levels, and work independently with good judgment.
