FP&A Analyst / Senior Analyst

Full-Time · In-Person/Hybrid · Roseville, CA

A Little Spice Goes a Long Way

Paprika Partners is a boutique financial firm built for a new generation of business owners. The ambitious owner-operators, the diverse founders, and the unconventional builders who deserve the same quality of financial partnership as the big guys. We provide bookkeeping, accounting, advisory, and fractional CFO services for businesses ranging from $2M-$20M in revenue.

We're not a corporate shop. We move fast, we think in systems, we geek out on AI and technology, and we show up as real human beings who genuinely care whether our clients win. Our team is small, deeply collaborative, and building something we're all proud of, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that.

The Role

This is not a button-clicking, template-maintaining kind of seat. You'll be the financial modeling engine behind a portfolio of owner-operated businesses, building from scratch, thinking critically, and communicating directly with founders who are counting on your work to make real decisions.

The title is flexible, Analyst or Senior Analyst, depending on where you are in your career. What matters more is that you're sharp, fast, client-ready, and genuinely excited about the kind of work we do.

You'll collaborate closely with our founder, Accounting Managers, Staff Accountants, and Bookkeepers, a tight-knit team where everyone is in it together and nothing falls through the cracks.
