The Senior Analyst, FP&A is a high-impact individual contributor on the Finance & Accounting team at cabi. Reporting to the Director of Finance, this role is the operational engine behind cabi's planning and reporting cycles - supporting OpEx reporting, budget and forecast development, and liquidity planning across the enterprise.

Core Responsibilities

OpEx Reporting & Variance Analysis

• Prepare and own monthly OpEx reporting packages, including actuals vs. budget and actuals vs. prior year, with clear variance commentary at the cost center and GL account level.
• Perform rate vs. volume decomposition on key expense lines, translating drivers into concise narratives for the Director of Finance and CFO, and proactively surfacing risks and opportunities within the OpEx forecast.
• Partner with department heads to gather cost explanations, validate coding, and ensure reporting accuracy ahead of monthly close cadences.

• Build and maintain scenario models that quantify risk and opportunity ranges for the forecast, supporting proactive guidance to the Director of Finance.

Cross-Functional Budget & Forecast Partnership

• Serve as the day-to-day FP&A contact for functional leaders (Marketing, Operations, Technology, HR, Merchandising), guiding them through budget development and monthly forecast submissions.
• Translate business assumptions from cross-functional partners into financial model inputs, ensuring forecast integrity across the consolidation.
• Develop financial acumen among non-finance stakeholders through clear communication, accessible reporting, and proactive engagement during planning cycles.
• Support go-to-market and investment decision analysis by building business cases and quantifying trade-offs for senior leadership.

Liquidity Planning & Cash Flow

• Assist with 13-week and annual liquidity forecast development, maintaining assumptions for working capital, capital expenditures, and debt service.
• Support revolver borrowing/paydown analysis and covenant compliance tracking in coordination with the Director of Finance.
• Maintain cash flow models that integrate P&L and balance sheet drivers, flagging liquidity risks or tightening headroom proactively.
• Support balance sheet forecast maintenance, including key working capital line items (AR, AP, inventory, accruals), ensuring BS assumptions are consistent with P&L and cash flow projections.

Management Reporting & Board Support

• Contribute to monthly management reporting packages and board materials, including KPI dashboards, P&L summaries, and forward-looking commentary.
• Support EBITDA reconciliation, add-back schedules, and lender/PE reporting packages as required by credit facility and investor requirements.
• Ensure all deliverables are accurate, timely, and formatted for executive and external audiences.

AI & Finance Innovation

• Identify and implement opportunities to automate manual finance workflows, including data extraction, reconciliation, and reporting refresh processes, using tools such as Excel (Power Query, LET/LAMBDA), Python, or BI platforms.
• Support the Director of Finance in evaluating and deploying AI tools within the FP&A function, with a focus on improving analytical depth, reducing cycle time, and enhancing reporting quality.
• Partner with Technology and Data teams to improve ERP data integrity and self-serve reporting capabilities, ensuring Finance has clean, accessible data to support planning and analysis.

Qualifications

• Familiarity with ERP systems (Oracle preferred) and BI/reporting tools.
• Experience in direct-to-consumer, apparel, or subscription/membership-model businesses a plus.

What Success Looks Like

• Budget and forecast cycles run smoothly, with cross-functional partners submitting inputs on schedule and model integrity maintained throughout.
