The Team

The Senior Associate, FP&A, Federal Practice is a hands-on finance professional responsible for the financial planning and analysis supporting the Federal Practice, a strategic business unit within Public Sector Services (PSS). Reporting to the Federal Chief Administrative Officer, this role supports the practice's budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling, personally building models, producing analysis, and preparing reporting under the direction of Federal Practice and PSS finance leadership, and coordinating with A&M corporate finance, which owns the general ledger, close, and statutory reporting. As a financial partner to Federal Practice and PSS leadership, the Senior Associate helps translate financial and operational data into insight that supports financial discipline, resource optimization, and profitable growth from project level up through practice-wide level to support overall corporate objectives.

How you will contribute

PSS Financial Operations:

• Support the annual budget, forecast, and long-range plan for the Federal Practice - building the models, populating the numbers, and producing the outputs - in coordination with Federal Practice finance leadership, and roll results up into PSS-level planning.
• Track working capital, backlog, and sales pipeline week to week for the Federal Practice and Federal engagements, and report progress-to-target and notable trends to Federal Practice finance leadership.
• Support the financial models behind long-term strategic planning and growth initiatives.
• Produce the weekly and monthly KPI reporting - WIP, ETC/EAC, aging AR/AP, indirect spend, project profitability - analyzing the results and calling out risk areas in the write-up.
• Run variance analysis on P&L activity against plan and explain what's driving the gaps.
• Build the headcount, compensation, and professional-development spend models that align financial planning with talent strategy, in coordination with Federal Practice finance leadership.
• Support optimization of the Federal Practice s talent resources by analyzing utilization and resource-allocation data to identify underused capacity and staffing imbalances, and share findings with Federal Practice finance leadership to inform reallocation decisions.
• Contribute to the design and rollout of new processes and tools to make the finance function faster and cleaner.
• Prepare the finance materials for leadership meetings.
• Support business leaders directly with the data analysis they need to make decisions.
• Source the data and analysis needed from A&M corporate finance, chasing inputs to keep the reporting cycle on schedule.
• Share tools, benchmarks, and best practices with other A&M business units.
• Take on ad-hoc analysis and projects as they arise.

Team Lead & Collaboration:

• Serve as team lead for the Financial Analyst, coordinating day-to-day priorities and workflow on project code set-up, invoicing, and related transactional work, and stepping in hands-on when volume or complexity requires it.
• Partner closely with the Financial Analyst, sharing feedback and building sound day-to-day financial and invoicing practices through close collaboration rather than formal supervision.

Travel Required:

• Travel may be required to A&M office sites

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; progress toward or completion of a CPA, CMA, or MBA a plus.
• Approximately 4-5 years of progressive experience in financial planning & analysis, including hands-on experience with financial modeling and management reporting.
• Familiarity with government-contracting environments (e.g., FAR/DFARS, contract types such as fixed-price, cost-plus, and time-and-materials) is a plus but not required.
• Strong command of financial principles, budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling, with the technical depth to build the analyses personally.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and strategic-thinking skills, with the ability to identify trends, drive actionable insights, and make data-driven decisions.
• Proven ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and quickly to Federal Practice and PSS leadership and other non-financial stakeholders.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
• Results-oriented mindset, with a focus on delivering high-quality outcomes and exceeding internal-customer expectations.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple competing priorities.
• Availability to work extended hours as needed, particularly during peak budgeting, forecasting, and reporting cycles.
• Proficiency with financial systems and BI tools (e.g., SAP, Excel, Power BI, Tableau); familiarity with project-based accounting systems (e.g., Deltek Costpoint) a plus.
• High level of integrity, professionalism, and attention to detail.
• Experience informally coordinating or leading the work of junior team members a plus, with a collaborative, team-oriented approach.

The above description is intended to outline the general responsibilities and qualifications for the position. Specific duties and requirements may vary based on firm and practice focus areas, and client and internal customer needs.
