Evaluate customer, product, and SKU profitability; model pricing scenarios; and assess the financial impact of new business opportunities and changes in product mix. Connect financial analysis with sound accounting. Partner with accounting during the monthly close to validate results, investigate unusual balances and trends, and distinguish timing differences from underlying business performance. Improve cash and working capital visibility. Analyze inventory, receivables, and payables to support cash forecasting and identify opportunities to improve working capital. Assess investments and business initiatives. Prepare financial analyses for capital expenditures, capacity decisions, cost savings projects, and other priorities. Strengthen reporting and processes.
