Financial Analyst
At Edelman Financial Engines (EFE), our purpose is to guide people with the financial advice they need to thrive.
We believe that every dollar saved represents a lifetime of hard work and aspirations, and every dollar invested has a job to do for our clients. That’s why we are committed to managing our clients’ investments by truly understanding them as people first and then delivering advice, strategies and solutions to help them feel confident about the plans they are making, whether for today, tomorrow, or in the great unknown future. Our goal is to build long-term relationships based on respect, integrity, and a belief that our responsibility is to help people make smart investments decisions in every stage of their lives.
Our culture is grounded in our CORE values: Client First, One Team, Respectful Candor, and Endless Curiosity. These values guide everything we do, for our clients and each other. We are committed to moving forward together. If you are inspired by purpose-driven work and a collaborative, values-led culture, we invite you to explore a career with us.
The Business Line Finance team at Edelman Financial Engines works directly alongside Marketing, Distribution, and Product & Technology partners, translating financial data into context that helps those teams make better decisions. We are always looking for ways to work smarter and faster, whether that's developing a new forecasting model, turning a monthly manual report into an automated dashboard, or digging into a data set to surface something useful before the next business review. If that kind of work sounds interesting, we'd like to talk.

The Financial Analyst will report directly to the Financial Analysis Manager and will be responsible for the following:

- Building and maintaining dashboards and reporting in Power BI that give business partners real-time visibility into financial performance, proactively identifying manual or recurring workflows and replacing them with scalable, automated solutions.
- Preparing materials for internal leadership and external stakeholders (lenders, PE owners, etc.) that translate complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights.
