Financial Planning Analyst

Quality Branded is looking for a high-impact FP&A Analyst to serve as the primary engine for financial insights and forward-looking decision support. In this role, you will be the single Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) for financial modeling and KPI architecture across our organization.

Unlike traditional accounting roles, this position focuses on "actionable accuracy"—translating complex financial data into clear, strategic narratives that enable our leadership team to make swift, informed decisions. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and value clear communication as much as rigorous analysis, this is the role for you.

Core Responsibilities

• Financial Modeling & Strategy: Build and maintain ROI models for new restaurant developments, major CapEx renovations, site viability, and strategic tech partnerships.
• KPI Architecture & Reporting: Own the delivery and maintenance of daily sales flashes, labor trackers, and weekly scorecards. Structure and scale our evolving KPI tracking system to ensure the organization stays data informed.
• Executive Support: Synthesize complex data into clean charts and narrative tables for Senior Leadership Team reviews, investor decks, and capital calls.
• Tactical Analysis: Lead data collection and analysis for annual budgeting, periodic pricing reviews, vendor contract comparisons, and margin impact scenarios.
• Project Oversight: Track budget-versus-actual spend for all active construction and development projects, ensuring alignment with approved capital allocations.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Experience: 2–5 years of experience in a high-growth hospitality, restaurant, retail, or multi-unit environment. (Candidates coming from investment banking, corporate consulting, or real estate are encouraged to apply).
• Technical Proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Excel / Microsoft 365.
• Systems Familiarity: Experience with, or the ability to quickly master, ERP systems (e.G., Restaurant 365) and business intelligence tools (e.G., Power BI).
• Analytical Rigor: Strong familiarity with operational metrics (labor trackers, prime cost, margin erosion, and unit-level P&Ls).
• Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to translate dense, complex financial data into simple, actionable insights for non-financial stakeholders (GMs, culinary teams, etc.).

What We’re Looking For

• Proactive Ownership: A self-starter comfortable being the sole DRI for corporate modeling and capable of managing up to executive leadership.
• Adaptability: Comfort with ambiguity and a desire to help evolve our data infrastructure as the company scales.
• Action-Oriented: You prioritize business insights that drive action over pure accounting precision.
