Job description

About Nava
Nava is a consultancy and public benefit corporation working to make government services simple, effective, and accessible to all. Since 2013, federal, state, and local government agencies have trusted Nava to build transformative digital services to help people access public benefits. Meeting our mission is an opportunity to restore trust between people and public institutions. We focus on populations that are the least protected because the stakes are higher.

As a client services company, we work with government agencies to improve how people apply for benefits, navigate their health care, and more. We bill for our time, selling our expertise and problem-solving methodology to government clients. Our clients hire us to help improve their products and services so that their users and beneficiaries have a better customer experience.

These end-users—the humans who benefit from our work—are at the core of everything we do. We research beneficiaries’ needs to help our government clients better deliver on their missions, providing everyone at Nava opportunities to do meaningful, impactful work.

Position summary 
The Financial Analyst will be responsible for working closely with company and project executives, internal business partners, and the finance and accounting team to lead project-level financial, operating, and performance analysis. You are the primary driver of project-level financial operations and analysis, including client invoicing, prepare estimates-at-completion (EACs), financial planning and analysis (FP&A), project control, financial reporting and modeling, and decision support for a portfolio of projects. You are a critical member of the Finance and Accounting team and will report to the FP&A Manager.

You will work as part of a remote-first team to deliver the highest quality internal support and solutions to cross-functional teams in a fast-growing company. Nava is ~500 people today, and the Financial Analyst will be integral to help us to continue growing over the next several years by contributing to project-level financial operations, project control activities, company-level reporting, and developing project and portfolio-level insights. We are seeking an experienced analyst able to build trust and confidence in all interactions, elevate colleagues, radiate intent, take pride in strong attention to detail, and enjoy solving challenging problems alongside internal colleagues and external teammates. In particular, we are looking for a strong analyst who will deeply understand our goals, business, delivery approach, and mission, before bringing their expertise to the table to help us get there.
