Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst

Portland, Oregon | Leatherman Tool Group

Build More Than Forecasts. Help Shape the Future.

At Leatherman, we believe that with the right tools in hand, people can achieve extraordinary things. For over 40 years, we've been designing and manufacturing innovative products trusted by adventurers, tradespeople, first responders, military personnel, and everyday problem-solvers around the world.

We're looking for a curious, analytical, and technology-minded FP&A Analyst who wants to do more than report numbers. This role is an opportunity to influence business decisions, improve processes, leverage AI, and partner with leaders across a globally recognized manufacturing company.

If you enjoy turning data into insights, building financial models, automating processes, and helping leaders make better decisions, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

As an FP&A Analyst, you'll support the company's financial planning, forecasting, reporting, and analysis efforts while partnering closely with Finance, Operations, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and business leaders.

You'll:

  • Build and maintain financial models, forecasts, and business cases
  • Support annual budgeting, monthly forecasting, and long-range planning
  • Analyze financial performance, identify trends, and provide actionable recommendations
  • Partner with operations and manufacturing leaders to understand product costs, inventory, gross margins, and operational performance
  • Prepare variance analysis, KPI reporting, and management presentations
  • Collaborate across departments to support strategic business decisions
  • Improve finance processes, reporting tools, and business intelligence capabilities
  • Explore and leverage AI tools to improve the speed, quality, and depth of financial analysis and forecasting
  • Support month-end close activities, accruals, and ad hoc financial projects

What Makes This Role Different?

At Leatherman, we're looking for someone who doesn't just maintain spreadsheets—we're looking for someone who constantly asks:

"How can we do this better?"

We value curiosity, continuous improvement, innovation, and a willingness to embrace new technologies. If you're experimenting with AI tools, automating repetitive work, building dashboards, or finding smarter ways to analyze data, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field
  • 2-3 years of FP&A, accounting, finance, or analytical experience
  • Strong financial modeling and analytical skills
  • Advanced Excel capabilities including:

    • Financial modeling
    • Data analysis
    • Macros (preferred)
  • Experience working with ERP systems
  • Strong communication and business partnering skills

    • Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O)
    • Power BI
    • SQL
    • Prophix
  • Manufacturing, inventory, cost accounting, or operations finance experience
  • Experience using AI tools to improve reporting, analysis, forecasting, or business processes

Who Thrives Here?

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Curious and always learning
  • Comfortable challenging the status quo
  • Action-oriented and solution-focused
  • Passionate about data and technology
  • Excited to partner with leaders across the organization
  • Interested in using AI and automation to transform how finance operates
  • Motivated to make an impact beyond traditional accounting and reporting

Why Leatherman?

About the Company

L

Leatherman Tool Group, Inc

Out here in Oregon, we are used to getting things done you could call it our pioneering spirit.  It's why Leatherman Tool Group is proud to support U.S. workers who, just like our founder Tim Leatherman, are dedicated to the quality craftsmanship that goes into each of our original American multi-tools.

After spending his childhood in Oregon, Tim Leatherman stayed local and received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Oregon State University. A low-budget, post-college trip abroad, which included many fix-it situations, convinced Tim of the need for a pliers based multi-purpose tool.

Once back home in the states, Tim set to work developing his idea. On July 5, 1983 Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. was officially incorporated based on a few simple principles: manufacture quality products that deliver excellent value to the consumer while providing good, living-wage jobs to the local workforce.  More than thirty years later we are still going strong in the U.S., in our home town of Portland, Oregon.

Every multi-tool and knife we make is crafted by one of the 600 Oregonians who call Leatherman a great place to work, and we stand behind our products with a no-questions-asked 25 year warranty.  When asked about the company's devotion to quality, Tim always replies, it has to be perfect; my name is on every tool.

We are proud to live and work in the USA and it shows in every original multi-tool and knife we make.  Leatherman.  Leave nothing undone.
