Senior FP&A Analyst

Are you ready to make a significant impact as a strategic finance partner by delivering high-impact modeling, forecasting, and decision support to senior leaders?

About the Role

This role is pivotal in owning core FP&A processes, including planning, budgeting, forecasting, consolidations, month-end close support, and performance analysis. The position exists to drive actionable insights that improve business results and to enhance financial systems and processes. It contributes to the organization by partnering cross-functionally to translate financial insights into recommendations for executives and managers.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the company-wide financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting cycles; build and maintain sophisticated models for consolidations, scenario planning, capital analysis, and strategic decision support.
• Deliver clear, timely analysis of financial results (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), including variance drivers versus plan, forecast, and prior year; apply inventory valuation knowledge (including moving-average costing) to margin and operational reviews.
• Partner cross-functionally to understand business strategies, surface improvement opportunities, and translate financial insights into recommendations for executives and managers.
• Lead continuous enhancement of financial systems, tools, and processes (IFS, Epicor/DMAS platforms, BI tools); create automated dashboards, scalable reporting, and consolidation solutions while driving adoption and change management.
• Support a strong internal-control environment—data integrity, segregation of duties, policy compliance, and root-cause resolution of control gaps.
• Build relationships at all levels, teach financial acumen to non-finance colleagues, model high standards of conduct, and contribute to team development.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field
• 5 years progressive financial analysis experience in manufacturing, distribution, or corporate settings
• Proven track record of identifying and implementing process improvements
• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with IFS, Epicor Eagle, Prophet 21, BI platforms, or comparable ERP/reporting systems
• Solid GAAP foundation and ability to operate independently in a matrixed environment
• Prior success in business-partnering or operations-focused finance roles
• Strong analytical, communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills; demonstrated ability to build business cases and influence leaders at multiple levels
