FP&A Manager – Turning Numbers into Strategy
This is a ground-floor opportunity for an entrepreneurial finance professional to own and build the company's inaugural FP&A function. You will be the person leadership relies on to translate complex financial data into clear insight, strengthen financial discipline, and ensure the organization’s performance aligns with its long-term objectives.
If you are someone who prefers influence over title, analysis over noise, and meaningful work over check-the-box reporting, this role was designed with you in mind.
What Sets You Up for Success
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required. CFA, CPA, and/or MBA preferred.
- 5 years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience
- Strong technical accounting foundation, including US GAAP and banking-specific accounting standards
- Advanced financial modeling skills and expert-level Excel proficiency
- Demonstrated ability to analyze complex data sets, identify trends, and solve business problems
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects concurrently
- Clear, confident communicator who can explain complex financial information to non-financial audiences
- Proven judgment to align financial recommendations with business strategy and risk considerations
Key Responsibilities
1. Own and elevate the budgeting and forecasting process.
- Deliver accurate annual budgets and forecasts that leadership trusts and actively uses.
- Improve forecast accuracy through stronger modeling, assumptions, and variance analysis.
2. Provide actionable insight—not just reports.
- Identify trends, risks, and opportunities across revenue, expenses, and key banking metrics.
- Present financial results in a clear narrative that enables faster, better decisions.
3. Strengthen financial modeling and long-range planning.
- Build and maintain short- and long-term financial models that support strategic planning, capital decisions, and growth initiatives.
- Evaluate scenario impacts, stress testing assumptions where appropriate in a banking environment.
4. Serve as a strategic thought partner to leadership.
- Support senior leaders with data-driven analysis related to investments, cost optimization, revenue growth, and strategic initiatives.
- Contribute financial analysis to potential mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic opportunities.
5. Improve financial processes and reporting.
- Identify inefficiencies in the organization and drive practical improvements.
- Increase accuracy, consistency, and timeliness of financial information provided to leadership.
6. Collaborate effectively across the organization.
- Partner closely with business units and shared services to ensure financial goals align with operational realities.
- Translate financial concepts for non-financial leaders in a way that builds understanding and trust.
Why You’ll Love this Role
- High visibility and influence without people-management bureaucracy.
- A seat at the table for strategic and financial decision-making.
- Work that directly impacts the financial strength and direction of the organization.
- A hybrid work structure, with flexibility balanced by meaningful in-person collaboration.
- The opportunity to bring structure, insight, and rigor to critical financial processes.
If you’re an FP&A professional who wants your analysis to matter—and be acted on—this role offers the scope, visibility, and challenge to do just that.
