Sr. Business Analyst-Fund Accounting

Business analysis is the practice of enabling change in an enterprise by defining needs and recommending solutions that deliver value to stakeholders. Business analysis enables an enterprise to articulate needs and the rationale for change, and to design and describe solutions that can deliver value.

Business analysis is performed on a variety of initiatives within an enterprise. Initiatives may be strategic, tactical, or operational. Business analysis may be performed within the boundaries of a project or throughout enterprise evolution and continuous improvement. It can be used to understand the current state, to define the future state, and to determine the activities required to move from the current to the future state.

A business analyst is a recognized practitioner in the analysis, definition and modelling of business processes, requirements, systems and data with stakeholder engagement in at least one methodology; for example, Agile or Waterfall.
