We are looking for a Pet Store Financial Analyst to join our growing retail team and help drive financial performance across our pet store operations. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about both finance and the pet industry, and who thrives in a fast-paced, data-driven environment. As a Financial Analyst, you will be responsible for analyzing financial data, preparing reports, and providing actionable insights to support strategic decision-making.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in financial analysis, budgeting, and forecasting, with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of retail operations. You will work closely with store managers, inventory teams, and senior leadership to ensure financial goals are met and exceeded.
