Base salary for this role is budgeted up to a base of $150,000+ commensurate with experience, eligible for additional bonuses, and will primarily sit in their Chicago Loop office. A comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off, medical / dental / vision insurance, and 401(k) to eligible employees is offered as well.

• Own all financial models internally , including operating models, forecasts, budgets, and long-range planning
• Serve as a key finance partner to our PE sponsors , supporting investor reporting, board materials, and ad-hoc analysis
• Lead day-to-day FP&A , including monthly variance analysis, KPI tracking, and performance insights
