Our client is seeking a highly analytical and hands-on FP& A Manager to own and lead the full financial planning and analysis function within a fast-paced distribution environment. Reporting directly to senior leadership, this role will serve as the organization’s key FP& A resource and business partner, supporting strategic decision-making through insightful financial analysis, forecasting, reporting, and operational recommendations.

This is a Manager-level role with significant ownership and visibility across the organization; however, it is an individual contributor position without direct reports. The successful candidate will be comfortable operating autonomously, building processes, and partnering closely with stakeholders across finance, operations, inventory, and sales.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and manage the end-to-end budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning cycle across the organization
• Prepare and present monthly P& L reporting packages, variance analysis, and management commentary for senior stakeholders
• Develop financial models, dashboards, and KPI reporting to support operational and strategic decision-making
• Create ad hoc analysis and reporting related to new SKUs, inventory trends, promotional items, pricing initiatives, and business performance
• Analyze inventory activity including obsolete and slow-moving inventory, providing recommendations to leadership
• Partner cross-functionally with operations, supply chain, sales, and executive leadership to support business initiatives and profitability analysis
• Maintain and enhance reporting automation and data visualization using advanced MS Excel, Power Query, and Power BI
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting processes, data accuracy, and overall financial visibility
• Support long-range planning, business cases, and special projects as required

Qualifications

• CPA designation required
• 5+ years of progressive FP& A experience, ideally within a distribution, wholesale, or inventory-driven environment
• Proven experience managing the full budgeting and forecasting cycle independently
• Advanced proficiency in MS Excel including Power Query, financial modeling, and data manipulation
• Experience building and presenting dashboards and reporting through Power BI
• Strong understanding of inventory analytics, SKU reporting, promotional analysis, and operational finance
• Ability to operate effectively as a sole contributor in a highly visible leadership-facing role
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with the ability to translate financial data into meaningful business insights
• Self-motivated, resourceful, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities

Why This Opportunity?

• High-impact role with direct exposure to senior leadership
• Opportunity to fully own and shape the FP& A function
• Strategic and operational involvement across the business
• Collaborative and entrepreneurial environment with strong visibility and influence
