About the Role

An established manufacturing company in Charlotte is adding a Senior Financial Analyst to its Corporate FP&A team .

This is a high-visibility role focused on SG&A budgeting, forecasting, monthly reporting, cash flow, working capital, and financial analysis across the corporate organization.

You’ll own the SG&A budgeting and forecasting process across corporate cost centers, along with monthly reporting for SG&A and operations overhead. Over time, cash flow reporting will also move into this role, including working capital analysis and helping build out a more robust short-term cash flow forecasting process.

A meaningful part of the job is business partnering. You’ll work directly with VPs and Directors who own SG&A cost centers, helping them build budgets and forecasts, driving timelines, asking questions, and challenging assumptions when the numbers don’t make sense.

That takes confidence, strong communication skills, and someone who is comfortable taking ownership rather than simply collecting inputs.

There is also occasional exposure to corporate strategy and acquisition-related analysis as opportunities arise. This work ebbs and flows, so think of it as additional exposure rather than the core of the role.

The finance team also leans heavily into AI and modern finance tools . You don’t need prior AI experience, but curiosity and a willingness to learn how to use these tools effectively will matter.

What You’ll Do

• Own SG&A budgeting and forecasting across corporate cost centers.
• Partner directly with VPs and Directors to develop budgets, forecasts, and financial expectations.
• Prepare monthly SG&A and operations overhead reporting with variance analysis and meaningful commentary.
• Take ownership of cash flow reporting and working capital analysis.
• Help enhance short-term cash flow forecasting, including development of a 13-week cash flow forecast.
• Build and improve financial models, scenario analyses, and decision-support tools.
• Support the Annual Operating Plan and periodic reforecasts.
• Identify opportunities to improve and automate recurring reporting and FP&A processes.
• Provide ad hoc financial analysis and decision support for corporate finance leadership.
• Support corporate strategy and acquisition-related analysis as opportunities arise.

What We’re Looking For

• Roughly 2-5 years of experience in finance or accounting.
• Open to backgrounds including Corporate FP&A, Operations Finance, Commercial Finance, public accounting, audit, transaction advisory, consulting, or similar analytical roles.
• You do not need to have prior Corporate FP&A experience.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with financial data.
• Financial modeling experience is highly valued , including scenario analysis, forecasting, business cases, or other decision-support modeling.
• Solid Excel skills.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to work directly with senior leaders outside of finance.
• Someone who works independently, takes ownership, asks good questions, and follows through.
• A high degree of intellectual curiosity and an interest in understanding what is actually driving the numbers.
• Curiosity around AI tools and how they can be applied to finance work. Experience is a plus; interest and willingness to learn are more important.
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field. CPA, CFA, MBA, or MAcc is a plus but not required.
• Must currently reside in the Charlotte area or be planning to relocate.

Why This Role?

• Ownership – Own meaningful pieces of SG&A planning, reporting, cash flow, and working capital.
• Visibility – Work directly with VPs, Directors, and corporate finance leadership.
• Build – Help improve and build processes rather than simply maintaining what already exists.
• Learning – Gain broad Corporate FP&A exposure with opportunities to learn strategy, M&A, and other areas of finance.
• Growth – Internal mobility into areas such as commercial finance, operations finance, strategic finance, or other business-facing roles.
• Technology – Join a finance team actively embracing AI and modern finance tools.
