Description

Senior Finance Manager | FP&A & Business Analytics

Lead Financial Strategy. Drive Business Decisions. Partner with Executive Leadership.

This position was created as part of a long-term succession planning initiative and offers significant visibility across the organization. The successful candidate will work directly with senior leadership to drive budgeting, forecasting, profitability analysis, business intelligence reporting, and strategic decision-making.

This opportunity is ideal for a finance professional who enjoys digging into data, influencing decisions, improving processes, and helping a business grow through strong financial leadership.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Direct partnership with executive leadership on strategic initiatives and business performance analysis
Opportunity to step into a highly visible role with long-term advancement potential
Blend of FP&A, business analytics, accounting, financial operations, and strategic planning
Significant ownership of budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling activities
Lead Power BI reporting and business intelligence initiatives that directly impact company performance
Opportunity to influence pricing, profitability, customer analytics, inventory, and operational decision-making
Well-established organization with nationally distributed products and a strong reputation for promoting talent internally
Collaborative, team-oriented culture where high performers can expand responsibilities and advance their careers

Key Responsibilities

Lead annual budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning activities
Develop financial models and analytics that support strategic business decisions
Partner with leadership to analyze performance, identify trends, and recommend actions
Design and enhance Power BI dashboards, KPI reporting, and executive-level analytics
Analyze customer profitability, pricing strategies, margins, revenue trends, and business performance
Support month-end close, financial reporting, accruals, reconciliations, and operational finance activities
Develop and improve financial controls, policies, and standard operating procedures
Support inventory valuation, costing activities, audit requirements, and compliance initiatives
Present financial insights and recommendations to leaders across the organization

What We're Looking For

This is not a role for someone who simply prepares reports.

We are seeking a highly motivated finance professional who wants to influence decisions, improve processes, and become a trusted advisor to business leaders.

Successful candidates will have:

Strong budgeting and forecasting experience
Advanced FP&A, financial modeling, and analytical capabilities
Experience creating actionable business insights from financial and operational data
Advanced Power BI and Excel expertise
Strong understanding of accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls
Excellent communication and presentation skills
The ability to simplify complex financial information for non-financial leaders
A proactive, self-directed mindset and willingness to take ownership of critical initiatives

Preferred Background

Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
Progressive experience across FP&A, accounting, finance, and business analysis functions
Experience supporting executive leadership teams
Power BI expertise required
Experience with ERP systems and financial reporting tools
CPA, CMA, or MBA is a plus
Consumer products, manufacturing, distribution, or related industry experience is highly desirable

Long-Term Opportunity

This role was created with growth in mind. The organization is seeking a finance leader who can become a key business partner, expand responsibilities over time, and position themselves for future senior leadership opportunities. The role offers significant exposure to executive decision-making and a clear path for continued career advancement.
