Corporate FP&A Manager

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly analytical, detail‑oriented Corporate FP&A Manager (Individual Contributor) to join Elior North America’s Corporate Finance team. This role supports all ENA segments and corporate functions through financial planning, forecasting, advanced Excel-driven analysis, and high-volume data management. This position is critical in producing accurate, timely insights and ad hoc reporting that drive strategic decisions across the organization.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Serve as a strategic partner to corporate departments, providing financial insights and recommendations.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and planning processes across ENA corporate functions.
• Consolidate and analyze P&L results, explaining trends, variances, and drivers to segment and corporate leadership.
• Act as a gatekeeper of financial accuracy during close, ensuring integrity across P&L, balance sheet, and segment-level reporting.
• Support month-end through detailed review of trial balances, account mapping, reconciliations, and system data validation.
• Manage and manipulate extremely large data sets (often 80k rows), ensuring proper mapping across group, segment, and corporate structures.
• Create, enhance, and maintain ad hoc financial reports and dashboards to support leadership requests and emerging business needs.
• Produce manual and automated Excel templates, models, and files used across FP&A and segment finance teams.
• Build reporting solutions independently using advanced Excel: XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, INDEX/MATCH, PivotTables, macros, named ranges, structured references, and cell linking across tabs/files.
• Troubleshoot large variances and investigate anomalies using a structured, analytical approach.
• Collaborate with cross-functional leaders to solve complex issues and support continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support BI reporting efforts using Power BI and BI360; interpret and refine canned reports and create supplemental analysis as needed.
• Contribute to broader corporate finance projects, including Smartsheet workstreams, master data management, KPIs, Planful budgeting cycles, and miscellaneous modeling initiatives.

What We’re Looking For:

Must-Haves:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field.
• 6 years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience.
• Expert-level Excel skills (tested during interview) including formulas, lookups, data transformation, pivot tables, linking files, building templates, and troubleshooting.
• Proven ability to manage and analyze large data sets while maintaining extreme attention to detail.
• Strong ability to independently structure problems, think critically, and create efficient analytical solutions.
• Ability to produce ad hoc reporting quickly and accurately without relying on automated systems.
• Strong communication skills—capable of “telling the story” behind the numbers for senior leadership.
• Experience with ERP systems, master data structures, charts of accounts, and financial reporting tools.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high‑urgency environment, especially during weeks 1–2 of close.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work within a flat, small, highly hands-on team.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience in contract services, hospitality, foodservice, or other multi‑segment industries.
• Experience with Planful, BI360, SAP/BFS, Smartsheet, or Anaplan.
• Experience working with canned dashboards and supplementing them with manual analysis.
• Prior experience creating Excel-based reporting templates or automation.
