FP&A Analyst

Job Summary/Objective:

The FP&A Analyst serves as a direct financial partner to operations, with a primary focus on revenue, margin, and P&L performance. This role is responsible for translating operational activity into financial outcomes, with an emphasis on project‑based revenue, job costing, and margin optimization. The ideal candidate is commercially minded, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and thrives as a forward‑facing partner embedded with the business to influence results, not just report them.

Primary Responsibilities:

•    Own and maintain financial models that link revenue, job costing, margin, and profitability to operational execution.
•    Analyze monthly P&L performance with a focus on revenue recognition, gross margin drivers, and percentage of completion impacts.
•    Act as a trusted financial partner to operations and field leadership, helping drive accountability for revenue, costs, and margin outcomes.
•    Support forecasting and rolling outlooks tied to project performance, backlog conversion, and operational throughput.
•    Prepare and present clear, decision‑oriented performance summaries that connect operational results to financial impact.
•    Perform ad‑hoc financial analyses including scenario modeling, pricing/margin analysis, and evaluation of operational trade‑offs.
•    Continuously challenge assumptions, identify risks and opportunities, and surface insights that influence commercial and operational decisions.

Minimum Education and Experience:

•    Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
•    2–3 years of experience in FP&A, project‑based finance, operational finance, or a P&L‑oriented analytical role.

Additional Eligibility Qualifications:

•    Strong experience with revenue, margin analysis, job costing, and project or services‑based financial models.
•    Working knowledge of percentage of completion accounting and revenue recognition concepts.
•    Advanced Excel skills; experience with NetSuite or a similar ERP supporting project or job‑based accounting.
•    Experience building and maintaining dashboards and performance reporting using BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar).
•    Solid understanding of full P&L mechanics including revenue drivers, cost structure, and margin levers.
•    Ability to operate in imperfect data environments and remain effective when requirements and priorities evolve.
•    Strong communication skills with the confidence to engage directly with operational leaders and challenge the status quo.

Competencies Required:

•    Commercial and operationally minded; naturally frames problems in terms of revenue, margin, and trade‑offs.
•    Comfortable being “in the business,” not just observing it; willing to ask hard questions and drive accountability.
•    High level of ownership, accountability, and follow‑through.
•    Strong business curiosity and desire to understand how work gets done in the field.
•    Adaptable and resilient; performs well amid ambiguity and change.

Direct/Indirect Supervisory Responsibility:

None.

Work Environment/Physical Demands/Travel Required:

•    This is a full‑time, office‑based role that requires the employee to work onsite during standard business hours.
•    The position involves extended periods of sitting, working at a computer, and participating in in‑person meetings and operational discussions.
•    Minimal travel may be required to support operational engagement or business needs.
