• Develop and maintain financial models, scenario analyses, and decision-support tools for pricing, inventory, capital investments, acquisitions, customer concentration, and other business initiatives.
• Prepare monthly and quarterly reporting packages, dashboards, and executive-level summaries that explain what happened, why it happened, why it matters, and what should be done next.
• Partner with business leaders to understand operational drivers, validate assumptions, and connect financial results to business actions.
• Support KPI standardization, reporting governance, and data quality improvements across the enterprise.
• Assist with report rationalization and automation efforts to improve the speed, consistency, and usefulness of financial reporting.
• Create clear presentations and analysis that communicate complex financial information to both finance and non-finance audiences.
• Contribute to the development of FP&A playbooks, analytical methodologies, and repeatable processes that support a scalable finance operating model.
