Senior Finance Analyst

About the Role:

Little Spoon was founded on the belief that today’s parents are different – equal parts more time-strapped and more food-savvy than ever. We set out to disrupt a century-old category with products and an experience that deliver on what the modern parent deserves. And we’re at a very exciting growth stage— we’re the #1 DTC baby and kids food brand in the US, and recently made a big foray into retail (nationwide at Target)!

As a Senior Finance Analyst at Little Spoon, you will play a critical role in overseeing, driving, and optimizing our financial operations. You will work closely with cross-functional leaders to support financial planning, budgeting, and analysis, ensuring the company’s financial health and supporting strategic decision-making. This role requires a detail-oriented professional with strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate financial insights effectively.

What You’ll Do:

• Financial Planning & Analysis: Maintain financial models, forecasts, and budgets. Analyze financial performance and variances, providing actionable insights to support strategic planning.


• Budget Management: Support the budgeting process, including the preparation of detailed, bottoms-up annual budgets and monthly forecasts. Conduct monthly budget vs. actuals meetings with cross-functional partners to monitor OPEX & COGS performance against budgets.


• Financial Modeling and Reporting: Assist in driving month-end close and reporting processes, partnering closely with accounting to ensure the accuracy of financials and providing insights/commentary on company results relative to plan/forecast. Extract and analyze company-wide financial statements, ensuring all relevant reporting models and templates are accurate and up to date.


• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with cross-functional teams (Operations, Marketing, Product, etc.) to assess the financial impacts of key initiatives, optimize resource allocation, and evaluate new business opportunities.


• Process Improvement & Automation: Identify and implement process improvements to enhance financial operations, reduce inefficiencies, and drive operational excellence. Automate routine financial tasks and reporting processes to improve accuracy and efficiency.


• Financial Systems: Support the implementation of an ERP system and ensure that all financial reporting is updated and automated.

What You’ll Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field.


• 4+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, or management consulting. Experience within a consumer goods business or high-growth startup is a plus.


• Advanced skills in Excel and Google Sheets, including complex formulas and financial modeling.


• Curiosity and comfort experimenting with modern AI tools to enhance financial modeling, automate analysis, and improve reporting efficiency.


• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.


• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.


• Ability to learn and adapt quickly to new systems and tools.


• Team player mentality, with a “no task is too small” attitude and proactive communication to ensure team alignment.


• Experience with subscription startups is a plus – namely in food.
