• Prepare clear, decision-oriented financial materials for senior leadership and the Board.
• Support quarterly and annual reporting, including MD&A, earnings calls, quarterly business updates, investor presentations, and other financial communications.
• Develop and enhance KPIs, dashboards, management reporting, and financial planning processes.
• Partner closely with Accounting, Investor Relations, Legal, and operational teams to ensure accurate and consistent financial information.
• Proactively identify gaps and build the models, tools, analyses, and processes needed as the Company continues to grow.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA, CPA, or CFA is a plus.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related discipline.
• Public company experience strongly preferred, including exposure to quarterly reporting, Board materials, earnings preparation, investor communications, and/or MD&A.
• Strong financial modeling, forecasting, cash flow, scenario analysis, and presentation skills.
• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance preferred; Power BI experience is a plus.
• Manufacturing, industrial, technology, or other high-growth or capital-intensive industry experience is desirable.
• Strong business judgment and the ability to translate complex financial information into clear insights and recommendations.
• A builder mentality, with the initiative and resourcefulness to develop solutions where processes or tools may not yet exist.
• A roll-up-your-sleeves, go-get-it attitude with a high degree of ownership, accountability, and attention to detail.
• Comfortable operating in a lean, fast-growing organization, where priorities evolve quickly and individuals are expected to take initiative.
• Excellent communication skills and confidence working with senior executives and other stakeholders.

The Successful Candidate

You are someone who does not simply report the numbers. You understand the story behind them, ask the right questions, and turn financial information into actionable business insights. You enjoy building and improving processes, are comfortable working with ambiguity, and know when to dive into the details and when to step back and focus on the bigger picture.
