Business Analyst - Finance

CompuNet is seeking a Business Analyst, Finance to support the Finance organization through process improvement, business system enhancements, and cross-functional initiatives.

This role works closely with Finance leadership and business stakeholders to identify opportunities, define requirements, improve workflows, and support the successful implementation of business solutions.
