Bonus/Commissions Analyst

We are looking for an experienced Bonus/Commissions Analyst to support a high-visibility finance function. This long-term contract opportunity is ideal for someone who can independently manage complex commission and bonus analysis while working with large, sensitive data sets. The role requires strong judgment, precision, and the confidence to communicate findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders. You will play a key part in ensuring compensation results are accurate, well-supported, and clearly presented.

Responsibilities:
• Manage the full monthly process for commission and bonus calculations, ensuring timely and accurate completion from initial data review through final output.
• Maintain and work through advanced Excel-based models used to calculate incentive compensation, including formula validation, reconciliations, and manual adjustments.
• Analyze large volumes of compensation data to identify discrepancies, investigate root causes, and resolve exceptions at the individual employee level.
• Partner closely with leadership to review calculation outcomes, explain supporting logic, and address questions related to payouts or special cases.
• Prepare and present finalized compensation results, supporting schedules, and adjustment summaries to stakeholders for review and approval.
• Perform detailed variance analysis to compare current results against expectations, historical trends, and underlying business drivers.
• Develop ad hoc financial analyses to support compensation-related decisions, reporting needs, and process improvements.
• Document assumptions, methodologies, and exception handling steps to strengthen consistency, auditability, and overall process reliability.

Qualifications:

• Strong experience in compensation analysis, sales incentive compensation, FP& A, or a closely related financial analysis function.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including complex formulas, large-data-set handling, reconciliations, and navigation of manually built financial models.
• Demonstrated ability to work accurately with high-volume data while maintaining strong attention to detail.
• Solid background in financial analysis, financial modeling, variance analysis, and ad hoc reporting.
• Ability to investigate exceptions thoroughly and apply sound analytical judgment to compensation-related adjustments.
• Confident communication skills with experience presenting financial results to senior leaders or executive audiences.
• Proven ability to work independently, adapt to ambiguity, and become productive quickly in a fast-paced environment.
