What are the responsibilities and job description for the Financial Planning and Analysis Manager position at LHH?
FP&A Manager
A well‑established, PE‑backed manufacturing and sustainability‑focused organization is seeking a hands‑on FP&A professional to support forecasting, budgeting, and strategic financial analysis in a newly created role. This position will report directly to the Director of FP&A and play a key role in driving financial insight, rigor, and decision support across the business. The ideal candidate enjoys owning the forecasting process end‑to‑end and being directly involved in the work.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Newly created role with high visibility and ownership
- Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic initiatives
- Hands‑on forecasting and modeling responsibility (not just review)
- Stable, PE‑backed organization with long‑term growth focus
- Competitive compensation with bonus potential
- Opportunity to influence and improve FP&A processes and reporting
What You’ll Do
- Own the annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long‑range financial planning processes
- Perform hands‑on forecasting and financial modeling to support business decisions
- Partner cross‑functionally (Operations, Supply Chain, HR, etc.) to develop KPIs that improve forecast accuracy and performance analysis
- Build and maintain financial models for strategic planning, scenario analysis, and business cases
- Analyze monthly results against budget, forecast, and prior periods, providing clear variance analysis and insights
- Prepare executive‑level financial reports and presentations for senior leadership
- Develop and refine dashboards and KPIs used across the organization
- Support leadership with ad hoc analysis related to pricing, cost optimization, capital investments, and margin improvement
- Ensure accuracy and integrity of financial data and adherence to internal controls
- Drive continuous improvement across FP&A processes, tools, and reporting
- Act as a finance partner to business leaders, aligning financial performance with strategic goals
What They’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field
- MBA and/or CPA preferred
- Minimum of 6 years of experience in corporate finance, including 3 years in FP&A
- Proven experience owning and executing forecasting processes
- Strong financial modeling skills and experience working with large datasets
- Advanced Excel skills; ability to build models from scratch
- Experience with ERP and planning systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Hyperion)
- Ability to synthesize complex financial data into actionable insights
- Strong communication skills and comfort presenting to senior leadership
- Prior management experience is not required
Who Thrives Here
- FP&A professionals who prefer hands‑on ownership
- Candidates who enjoy building forecasts, models, and insights from the ground up
- Finance partners who communicate clearly with non‑finance stakeholders
- Individuals who value stability, structure, and long‑term growth
Salary : $115,000 - $120,000
