Consulting Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis

Lead FP&A Excellence Across Multiple Clients and Industries

If you’re an experienced FP&A leader ready to broaden your impact, deepen your client exposure, and shape financial planning discipline across diverse organizations, this role offers the opportunity to do exactly that.

At Lyt, the Consulting Manager - Financial Planning & Analytics leads planning and analysis engagements, owns forecasting and budgeting cycles, and delivers high impact decision support for multiple clients. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, brings structured financial analysis, modeling, and communicates financial insights with clarity and confidence.

How You’ll Make an Impact

Lead Core FP&A Delivery

• Oversee FP&A engagements across multiple clients, including forecasting, budgeting, management reporting, and decision support
• Lead annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes, including timeline management, input consolidation, driver-based models, and scenario analysis
• Develop financial models and analysis for revenue, margin, expenses, cash flow, strategic initiatives, variance trends, and recommended actions

Deliver Insight and Strategic Value

• Deliver executive-ready reporting and analysis that connects performance drivers, business implications, and recommended actions
• Translate complex client needs into clear work plans, analytical frameworks, and measurable outcomes that support confident decision-making
• Serve as a trusted client contact for strategic financial discussions, scope changes, escalations, and board-level reporting support

Lead and Develop a High‑Performing Team

• Mentor and develop consultants to strengthen FP&A capability, analytical judgment, financial modeling, client-ready deliverables, and executive-level communication
• Set clear expectations, empower consultants to own their work, and maintain appropriate oversight to ensure quality delivery
• Create a team environment that reinforces ownership, proactive communication, and continuous improvement

Drive Operational and Financial Excellence

• Manage engagement profitability through active project management, resource decisions, and proactive issue resolution
• Improve workflows, reporting, modeling, documentation, compliance, and data integrity through scalable tools, templates, and frameworks
• Identify follow-on opportunities, contribute to proposals and client discussions, and support service line growth
• Partner with cross-functional leaders and the Managing Director to translate operational KPIs into financial outcomes and strengthen the practice’s methodologies, service offerings, and direction

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Direct exposure to multiple clients and industries, with meaningful influence beyond a single internal FP&A function
• A hands-on, high-impact role blending analytical, strategic, and leadership work with autonomy and variety
• Opportunity to help shape FP&A excellence and contribute to a growing Oklahoma-based consulting and advisory firm

What You Bring

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, economics, or related field; CPA, CFA, or MBA preferred
• 8 years of progressive experience in accounting, finance, or consulting, including 2 years in a leadership role
• Demonstrated experience owning budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, and financial reporting

Knowledge & Skills

• Proven ability to manage multiple FP&A projects, client relationships, and competing priorities at once
• Advanced Excel modeling, forecasting, financial systems, reporting, and business intelligence skills, including driver-based modeling and scenario analysis
• Strong analytical, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex financial information for senior leaders
• Working knowledge of U.S. GAAP fundamentals, accounting close processes, automation tools, and financial reporting standards
• Ability to challenge assumptions, influence stakeholders, and bring perspective from multiple industries or consulting environments

Backgrounds That Translate Well to This Role

• FP&A leaders seeking broader client exposure and more strategic influence
