The FP&A Analyst supports financial planning, forecasting, management reporting, KPI analysis, and business decision support across the company. This role helps translate financial and operational data into clear insights for Finance leadership and business partners.

• Perform variance analysis comparing actual results to budget, forecast, prior periods, and operating expectations, and clearly communicate key drivers, risks, and opportunities.

• Build and maintain financial models that support resource planning, project profitability, pricing analysis, capacity planning, hiring assumptions, cash flow forecasting, and investment decisions.

• Partner with Accounting to understand actual results, ensure reporting accuracy, reconcile management reporting to financial statements, and help explain timing differences or classification issues.

• Support FP&A systems and business intelligence efforts by maintaining report inputs, validating data, updating dashboards, documenting KPI definitions, and identifying opportunities to automate recurring analysis.

• Assist with acquisition-related reporting, including diligence support, Day 1 reporting, synergy tracking, integration dashboards, and post-close performance analysis.

• Prepare ad hoc analysis for Finance leadership, business leaders, investors, lenders, and other stakeholders as needed.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics, or related field required.
• Typically requires 2 to 4 years of experience in finance, accounting, FP&A, data analytics, consulting, or a related analytical role.
• Strong Excel skills, financial modeling ability, analytical curiosity, attention to detail, and clear written and verbal communication are required.
• Experience with ERP systems (Sage preferred), planning tools, Power BI or similar reporting platforms, project-based businesses, professional services, or acquisition-driven environments is preferred.
