Senior Finance Analyst, Client Finance

Senior Finance Analyst – Americas Client Finance Team

This is a high-visibility role for a strategic financial professional ready to drive impact.

You will be the financial engine behind our client teams, moving beyond data entry to own the end-to-end commercial health of your portfolio.

We are looking for a candidate who is tech-forward and AI-curious, highly analytical, and possesses the communication skills and expertise to lead financial discussions with client leads and creative teams.

Here’s what you should know if you want to be a Senior Finance Analyst at R/GA:

Strategic Portfolio Management & Revenue

• Lead revenue forecasting for mid-tier client portfolios, manage revenue pipelines, and advise on revenue recognition.




• Perform variance analysis and EAC (Estimate at Completion) reviews, providing clear commentary on burn management and over-burn risks.




• Partner with account teams to draft SOWs, ensuring “math/rate checks” are highly accurate, invoicing schedules are optimized, and rate cards are correctly applied.




• Conduct regular margin analysis reviews to ensure projects remain profitable and proactively identify risks when significant shifts occur.

Operational Excellence (End-to-End)

• Own the full billing cycle and associated commentaries (AR, WIP, Earned but Unbilled).




• Own Out-of-Pocket (OOP) management, reconciling production budgets and communicating available balances to clients. Manage weekly payables for cash flow estimations in partnership with Business Affairs.




• Ensure all audit documentation and compliance standards are met through a strong understanding of accounting principles.

Innovation & Reporting

• Leverage AI and advanced spreadsheet proficiency to automate reporting, troubleshoot errors, and evolve our reporting capabilities.




• Prepare and present financial data to stakeholders, translating complex spreadsheets into actionable insights for non-finance leads.

The Ideal Person

• Is comfortable leading meetings with Client Leads and Producers, acting as a strategic consultant rather than just a “numbers person.”




• Brings an analytical, investigative mindset for audit support and accounting compliance, ensuring all revenue recognition follows GAAP guidelines.




• Is proactive, has strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to explain “the why” behind the numbers.




• Is curious about how AI can streamline financial workflows.

You Bring

• 3-5 years of experience working in finance/accounting in a professional services or technology company.




• Experience with Revenue Forecasting & Recognition, Margin Analysis, Rate Card Analysis, and Variance Analysis.




• Expertise in ERP systems, preferably NetSuite.




• Experience with PSA/PM tools (e.g., Productive, Mavenlink, or similar) and CRM systems (e.g., HubSpot).




• Undergraduate degree in Economics, Business, Accounting, Finance, or equivalent practical experience.
