• Performance Management: Deliver monthly actual-versus-plan and forecast reviews, clearly explaining results and recommended actions to improve financial and operational performance.
• Service Analytics: Develop insight into technician utilization, billable hours, labor productivity, pricing, service mix, contract performance, and branch-level profitability.
• Parts Analytics: Analyze sales, gross margin, product and customer mix, pricing, inventory turns, purchasing trends, rebates, and working-capital performance.
• Driver-Based Models: Build scalable models that connect operational drivers—volume, price, labor, utilization, product mix, backlog, and inventory—to financial outcomes.
• Standardized Reporting: Establish consistent KPIs, definitions, and scorecards across operating companies while highlighting performance outliers and transferable best practices.
• Decision Support & Improvement: Evaluate growth, pricing, and investment opportunities while streamlining recurring reporting and improving data quality and automation.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, operational finance, or business finance; multi-location or decentralized-company experience preferred.
• Strong command of P&L forecasting, variance analysis, financial modeling, and business performance management.

• Advanced Excel skills and experience with planning, ERP, and business-intelligence tools; Power BI experience preferred.
• Ability to synthesize complex financial and operating data into concise insights and practical recommendations.
• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
