Your skills are a qualifier, and we believe that each of us is much more than the skills we bring to our job - the person we are looking for...

Role Overview

Were looking for analysts who dont wait for instructions - they create direction. The kind of person who sees the signal in the noise, the opportunity in the pattern, the root cause inside the workflow. Someone who can break a problem apart, and rebuild it cleaner, faster, sharper. At Bough, analysis isnt a task. Its the foundation on which transformation is built. Youll deconstruct messy finance problems, map processes end-to-end, translate ambiguity into crisp requirements, and partner across Finance, Technology, and Operations to design and land future-state workflows, controls, and automations - through to adoption and measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Break down messy finance problems into clear hypotheses and workplans
• Map processes end-to-end (Close, P2P, O2C, R2R, FP&A) and identify friction, risks, and failure points
• Translate business needs into user stories/functional requirements with acceptance criteria
• Design future-state workflows that reduce cycle time and error rates; define controls, SLAs, and KPIs
• Build decision-ready analysis (drivers, root causes, options, trade-offs, recommendations)
• Support implementations (systems, automation, controls) through testing, cutover, and adoption
• Create crisp deliverables: process maps, requirements, test plans, dashboards, playbooks
• Drive closure across stakeholders - no loose ends; ensure change management and training are in place

Qualifications and Experience

• 2+ years in finance transformation, consulting, business analysis, or finance operations with change ownership
