Financial Planning & Analysis Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Robert Half Finance & Accounting SVP Carol Nichols is partnering with a large organization that is investing heavily in its finance function as it evolves its strategy, structure, and operations. As part of this transformation, the company is building a new Corporate FP& A and Strategy team and is seeking an FP& A Manager to help build the function from the ground up.

This is more than a traditional FP& A role. You'll join at a pivotal time and help shape planning, forecasting, reporting, analytics, and decision support processes that will influence the company's future direction. Working closely with executive leadership, Operations, Accounting, and business unit leaders, you'll provide insights that drive performance, support strategic initiatives, and improve financial visibility across the organization. My client offers a hybrid work schedule, beautiful new offices, competitive compensation, annual bonus potential, and excellent benefits.

Responsibilities

• Lead annual budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes.
• Develop financial models, forecasts, analyses, and management reporting.
• Partner with Operations, Accounting, and business leaders to evaluate performance and identify opportunities.
• Prepare executive-level reporting that highlights business results, risks, opportunities, and key drivers.
• Analyze financial and operational trends, variances, and performance metrics.
• Help establish and improve FP& A processes, reporting, systems, and analytical tools.
• Develop KPIs and dashboards to improve visibility into business performance.
• Support strategic initiatives, business cases, capital allocation decisions, and enterprise-wide planning efforts.
• Build relationships with senior leadership and serve as a trusted business partner.
• Contribute to the development of a scalable FP& A infrastructure that supports continued growth.
• Lead special projects and high-impact analyses that influence strategic decision making.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity to help build a best-in-class FP& A function from the ground floor. If you enjoy partnering with leadership, influencing strategy, solving complex business problems, and creating processes that drive results, this role offers exceptional visibility and career growth.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related discipline.

• At least 5 years of experience in FP& A, corporate finance, or a similar financial planning function, including ownership of planning and forecasting processes.

• Advanced Excel skills with strong capability in financial modeling and analysis.

• Experience working with financial planning platforms such as SAP S/4 Hana, Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning, OneStream, Oracle Cloud Planning, Essbase, Oracle Fusion, or comparable systems.

• Solid understanding of how the P& L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement interact within financial planning.

• Background in a large multi-location or multi-site organization; public accounting experience supporting complex enterprise clients may also be considered.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present complex financial information to both technical and executive audiences.

• Proven ability to stay organized, manage competing deadlines, and adapt effectively in a high-urgency environment.
