Head of Financial Planning & Analysis

The Company is in search of a Head of Financial Planning and Analysis to take on a pivotal role in leading the FP&A function. The successful candidate will be responsible for all aspects of budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning, as well as owning monthly and quarterly management reporting, KPIs, and variance analysis. This hands-on leadership position requires the ability to consolidate forecasts across business units, analyze various financial metrics, and partner with different departments to evaluate financial performance. The role also involves improving and standardizing FP&A processes and reporting, and supporting financial reporting and analysis for the executive team and private equity sponsor. Applicants for the Head of Financial Planning and Analysis role at the company should have 7-12 years' of progressive experience in finance, accounting, or FP&A, with a strong preference for those with a background in public accounting. A manufacturing background, particularly in a multi-site or inventory-intensive environment, is also highly valued. The ideal candidate will have a strong accounting foundation, with a CPA being preferred, and experience in a private equity-backed setting is a plus. Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and drive process improvements. The company is open to considering candidates for this Director-level opportunity, including those at the Manager or Senior Manager level who are ready to step up.
