Description
Join the Team That's Redefining Wireless Technology
At Tarana, we're more than just a fast-growing tech company—we’re a team of bold innovators on a mission to revolutionize broadband. Our groundbreaking Fixed Wireless Access technology is delivering fiber-class internet speeds worldwide, bridging the digital divide in ways previously thought impossible.
Tarana is a fast-growing revenue company built by outstanding, talented people and powered by innovative technology.
The Senior Financial Analyst is responsible for providing financial analysis, forecasting, budgeting, and reporting to support strategic business decisions. This role analyzes financial performance, identifies trends and opportunities, develops insights, and partners with cross-functional teams to improve profitability and business outcomes.
What you’ll be doing:
- Support end-to-end financial planning & analysis for the business, including month-end close, quarterly forecasts, annual budgets, and long-range (5-year) strategic models.
- Prepare and deliver recurring financial reporting, including weekly business updates, the monthly financial package, and quarterly board materials.
- Build executive-ready analysis and presentations, turning financial results into clear insights and recommendations for senior leadership, investor relations events, and board meetings.
- Act as a finance business partner to cross-functional leadership, understanding how R&D investment, manufacturing costs, and sales performance connect — from product roadmap and spend timing through to revenue — to inform accurate forecasting and surface risks/opportunities early.
- Support analytics, scenario modeling, and ad hoc decision support — including ROI and margin analysis for sales deals and IRR/cost of capital analysis on debt financing — for strategic projects across the business.
- Support P&L and balance sheet accounting for assigned business groups, including operating expenses, headcount, and capital expenditures — partnering with Corporate Accounting on capitalization vs. expense treatment and assisting with review of capital requests/purchase requisitions.
- Perform flux analysis on revenue, margin, expense, and cash flow to explain forecast variances and support accurate P&L and balance sheet forecasting.
- Contribute to process standardization and reporting infrastructure improvements across Finance, helping identify and implement key metrics that improve visibility into company performance.
- Build and scale automation/agentic workflows to reduce manual work and shorten time-to-insight across recurring FP&A processes.
- Perform other duties and ad hoc analysis as assigned, supporting evolving priorities in a fast-paced, lean environment.
What You'll Need:
- Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in Business, Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in FP&A or related analytical/finance roles.
- Strong financial modeling and forecasting skills, with the ability to turn numbers into clear, compelling narratives for decision-makers.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate technical and financial findings for non-technical stakeholders and executives.
- Strong problem solver who can self-build solutions to streamline work — comfortably leveraging advanced Excel, basic scripting (e.g., Python, VBA), or AI/agentic tools to automate reporting, compress analysis cycles, and reduce manual work.
- Self-starter and cross-functional collaborator who takes initiative and finds new approaches to business challenges.
- Experience with NetSuite a plus; familiarity with financial planning tools (e.g., Adaptive, Anaplan, Hyperion) a plus but not required.
What we offer:
We don’t just build next-gen wireless technology — we build people.
The salary range for this position is: $120,000 to $155,000
Compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to: skill set, years of experience and the employee’s geographic location.
Tarana provides competitive benefits to employees in this role, including medical, dental, and vision benefits, 401K match, flexible time off, and stock options.
Join Tarana and help shape the future of wireless connectivity.
