Luna Labs is hiring a Senior Financial Analyst to join our team during a pivotal period of growth. This role combines forward-looking financial analysis with financial reporting and accounting support. You’ll build the forecasting models, dashboards, and analytical tools that help leadership make decisions about where to invest, across both government contracts and emerging product lines. This is not a role for someone who wants to run the same reports month after month. We need someone who can look at our business, ask good questions, and build the financial frameworks to answer them.
Key Responsibilities
This role requires cross-functional collaboration with Finance, Accounting, Contracts, Project Management, and Senior Leadership teams to analyze financial data, prepare comprehensive reports, and communicate complex financial information clearly to various departments and external stakeholders.
Financial Reporting & Accounting Support
- Perform general ledger revenue analysis and ensure alignment with revenue formulas in our financial system
- Reconcile general ledger revenue to unbilled amounts on the balance sheet
- Monitor indirect cost performance by department and ensure alignment with indirect rate structures and monthly expense statements
- Manage and contribute to implementation of the new budgeting and planning tool in our financial system
- Analyze indirect cost performance by department, analyzing changes across monthly, year-to-date, and forecast periods
Financial Planning & Analysis
- Build and maintain financial models for budgeting, forecasting, and scenario analysis across government contracts and commercial product lines
- Develop dashboards and performance reports that give leadership clear visibility into business performance
- Analyze budget vs. actual variances and translate the numbers into actionable insights
- Support strategic initiatives with financial analysis: new product investments, pricing decisions, resource allocation
- Identify cost-saving opportunities and process improvements; bring recommendations, not just observations
- Contribute to building dynamic budgeting and forecasting tools that make our planning cycles more efficient
Experience and Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field
- 5-8 years of experience in financial planning and analysis, preferably with some government contracting exposure

- Ability to build financial models that are both analytically sound and usable by others
- Strong communication skills – skilled at explaining sophisticated financial topics to non-finance stakeholders in clear, substantive terms
- Intellectual curiosity: you ask “why” and “what if,” not just “what”
- U.S. Citizenship required due to government contracting regulations
