The Senior Analyst – FP&A will be responsible for expense planning, variance analysis, and maintaining the integrity of the Workday Adaptive Planning model while partnering with functional department heads.
Responsibilities
- Own the detailed monthly and quarterly expense variance analysis across all operating cost categories (compensation, G&A, corporate overhead, shared services allocations)
- Develop structured, driver-based expense commentary that clearly distinguishes timing variances from structural shifts
- Prepare Pretium-ready expense bridges for monthly and quarterly reporting packages
- Serve as the primary functional owner of BH’s Workday Adaptive Planning environment
- Build, maintain, and improve driver-based compensation and non-compensation expense models, including tech vendor expense tracking, budget templates and rolling forecast (3+9, 8+4) structures
- Ensure model integrity across dimensions (department, cost center, FRE vs. non-FRE treatment) and manage version control through planning cycles
- Partner with the FP&A Automation & Reporting functions to ensure Adaptive data flows correctly into downstream reporting
- Apply a driver-based modeling discipline throughout — ensuring every budget, reforecast, and actuals comparison is structured so variances can be explained by underlying business drivers rather than line-item deltas
- Lead the expense build for annual operating plan and reforecast cycles — from template setup through final submission
- Coordinate with HR, department heads, and corporate services to gather accurate headcount and non-compensation assumptions
- Maintain compensation walk documentation (budget vs. forecast vs. actuals) at the employee and position level
- Act as a key FP&A contact for BH functional leaders and the Pretium finance team — translating operational activity into timely, well-supported financial analysis
- Respond to ad hoc expense questions in a timely manner with clear, well-supported analysis
- Support client profitability analysis, cost allocation reviews, strategic planning, and special projects as assigned by the Director of Finance
- Ensure expense line items are correctly classified under BH’s FRE definition (GAAP vs. management basis; FRE vs. non-FRE accounts)
- Flag new or reclassified GL accounts for treatment review and coordinate updates to Workday Adaptive
- Support monthly FRE reporting package preparation in advance of Pretium deliverable deadlines
- Quality, accuracy, and timeliness of monthly expense variance commentary
- Workday Adaptive model reliability across budget and reforecast cycles
- Responsiveness and accuracy on expense and other inquiries
- Reduction in manual rework through improved Adaptive model structure and process documentation
