Do you like knowing exactly why a number moved? As an FP&A Data Analyst at ARQ, you'll own the data foundations behind our revenue, cost and management reporting. You'll sit between Finance and Engineering: building the models that tell us how the business is performing, keeping them accurate every day, and turning them into insight that leadership uses to make decisions.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is as comfortable in a dbt project or a Python codebase as in a P&L. You'll work closely with Finance, Treasury and Engineering, and your work will feed management, investor and regulatory reporting directly.
What you'll be doingOwn the finance data layer: Maintain and extend our dbt repo. That means building and refactoring models, writing tests, and keeping finance data clean, documented and reliable.
Revenue and cost models: Build and maintain the models behind revenue, unit economics and operations costs (payment rails, FX, card, banking partners, vendors) across our markets.
Management accounts: Support daily and monthly management accounts on both accrual and cash basis. Reconcile them to source systems and explain movements.
Budgeting and forecasting: Feed actuals into the budget and forecast, run variance analysis, and help Finance understand what is driving performance.
Python services: Help maintain and improve the internal Python services and pipelines that support finance reporting and reconciliation.
Data mapping and requirements: Map data sources across our product and payments stack, and document business logic and assumptions so others can trust and reuse your work.
Onboard new business: When we launch a new product, partner or market, make sure it flows correctly into financial reporting, controls and processes.
Dashboards and reporting: Build and improve dashboards with Finance and Controllership that track key metrics and surface business drivers.
Anomalies and controls: Spot breaks, unusual spikes or data quality issues early, find the root cause, and fix it at the source.
Data literacy: Help the wider team understand and self-serve finance data.
