Sr. Financial Analyst, FP&A

What you’ll do…

Great Expressions Dental Centers is a private-equity-backed Dental Support Organization (DSO) operating across hundreds of locations. In a PE-backed environment, finance is not a passive function — it plays a central role in shaping strategy, driving performance, and allocating capital.

The Senior FP&A Analyst role is designed for someone early-to-mid career who wants more than routine reporting. This role offers exposure to how a large, complex, PE-backed operating business actually runs, and provides a clear path for growth based on performance, ownership, and impact.

This is a role for someone who wants to build judgment, credibility, and influence — not just technical skill.

This position is located at our corporate office in Southfield, MI and has a hybrid schedule of Monday-Thursday in office and Friday remote. 

What you’ll do…

• Support driver-based budgeting, forecasting, and rolling forecasts in a multi-site operating model
• Build and maintain advanced Excel models to analyze performance by location, region, and initiative
• Work with large datasets to identify:
• Performance trends
• Root-cause drivers
• Emerging risks and opportunities
• Translate complex analysis into clear, decision-oriented insights for internal partners
• Prepare management reporting that focuses on what matters and what to do next
• Partner with operations, regional leadership, and corporate teams to:
• Understand performance drivers
• Evaluate trade-offs
• Support real-world decisions
• Support ROI and investment analysis related to staffing, growth, capital expenditures, and operational initiatives
• Assist in maintaining and enhancing the CPM system (Adaptive Planning)
• Identify opportunities to improve:
• Reporting efficiency
• Automation and scalability
• Data quality and consistency
• Participate in cross-functional projects that expose you to strategy, operations, and leadership

Why This Role Is a Career Accelerator

• Direct exposure to PE-style decision-making and performance expectations
• Opportunity to learn how value is created, measured, and managed in a scaled DSO
• High visibility within the finance organization and with operating partners
• Clear expectations and feedback tied to impact — not tenure
• Strong performers have meaningful opportunities for expanded responsibility and advancement

What Success Looks Like

• Your work helps leaders make better, faster decisions
• Stakeholders trust your analysis and seek your input
• You consistently go beyond “what happened” to explain “why” and “what next”
• You grow in responsibility as your judgment and impact grow

What we require you have…

• Advanced Excel user with strong modeling instincts
• Curious, analytical, and business-minded
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and imperfect data
• Able to communicate clearly with non-finance partners
• Motivated by learning, growth, and ownership
• Looking for a role, not just a job

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience in a DSO, healthcare, retail, or multi-site environment
• Exposure to SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or other advanced analytics tools
• Experience with Adaptive Planning or other CPM platforms

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a quantitative field
• 3+ years of FP&A, finance, or analytical experience
• Experience supporting decision-making in a fast-paced environment
