Financial Planning and Analysis Manager

FP&A Manager

Job Overview:

We are seeking an Analytical FP&A Manager to play a pivotal role in driving financial performance, strategic decision-making, and operational efficiency across the organization. This individual will go beyond traditional financial reporting — leveraging data to uncover trends, tell compelling stories, and proactively guide business strategy. The ideal candidate thrives in a data-rich environment, is highly analytical and forward-looking, and can translate complex insights into actionable recommendations that drive growth and profitability.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Lead the annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range planning processes, ensuring alignment with corporate goals and strategic priorities.
• Dive deep into large, complex datasets to identify patterns, trends, risks, and opportunities — and communicate those insights through clear narratives that inform business decisions.
• Deliver monthly and quarterly financial reports, including variance and scenario analyses, that go beyond the numbers to explain why performance is trending a certain way and what actions should be taken next.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with senior leaders, providing actionable insights on revenue performance, cost optimization, labor efficiency, and other key metrics. Influence decisions on pricing, investments, and operational strategies.
• Assess and streamline FP&A processes across multiple entities, driving standardization, scalability, and efficiency in financial reporting and forecasting workflows.
• Design and implement automated dashboards, KPI tracking, and reporting solutions in Power BI (or similar tools) to enhance visibility and enable real-time decision-making.
• Support M&A evaluations, strategic initiatives, and capital investments with sophisticated financial modeling, sensitivity analyses, and scenario planning.

What We’re Looking For:

Must-have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 6 years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, or financial analytics experience.
• Proven ability to analyze large datasets, distill insights, and present recommendations that shape business outcomes.
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills.
• Proficiency with financial planning/reporting tools (e.g., Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, Hyperion) and data visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to “tell the story” behind the numbers.
• Demonstrated success in process improvement and automation initiatives.
• Strong business acumen, with the ability to influence leaders and support decision-making in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in multi-site or multi-segment industries (e.g., foodservice, hospitality, retail, manufacturing).
• Hands-on experience with dashboard creation, BI integration, or system implementation projects.

Compensation:

Compensation for this role ranges from $125,000 to $140,000, commensurate with experience.

Equal Opportunity Employer. Qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or protected veteran status.
