Financial Analyst

About the job

Waterworth is a Software-as-a-Service for financial forecasting. We are hiring junior and intermediate Financial Analysts to join our Customer Success (CS) team to help take our clients to success.

The ideal candidate for this role is confident with numbers and accounting, enjoys the prospect of using data to tell compelling stories, and has demonstrated abilities to develop productive professional relationships.

The Role & Responsibilities

Strategic Advising : Our goal is to ensure the communities we work with are on a path being financially sustainable. There are often a variety of paths to achieving this goal with various roadblocks in the way.

A large part of this role is to work with City Managers, Public Works Directors and CFOs to mutually establish what the journey looks like for their community and drive action to achieve these goals.

Relationship Management : To establish and stay on track with the strategic vision, our clients must enjoy meeting with you, building both respect and trust in you.

You would develop these relationships over multiple years, aiming to expand the depth and breadth of relationships with the senior city officials.

• Model Building : your work would involve building, calibrating and presenting financial models to our customers. This requires you to be confident in your accounting fundamentals and your ability to work with data (attention to detail), spot discrepancies in the model (pattern recognition) and be a confident speaker (presentation skills).
• Maximize Customer Value : You must genuinely care about customer experience and work diligently to exceed their expectations.

Whether it’s how an email is worded, how a model is presented, how we plan our week’s work; we must always have clients’ perceptions and needs at top of mind to ensure we deliver them maximal value.

Training

The Training Program covers the domains of municipal government and utilities, financial management, software and Customer Success.

Each of these would require developing different skills, and a commitment to pull everything together to be able to execute.

There will be evaluations during the training period to ensure our customers continue to receive the level of service they expect.
