We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented FP&A Analyst to join our finance team and support data-driven decisions.

3. Reporting & Dashboarding:
-Develop and maintain weekly/monthly KPIs (e.g., unit sales, ASP, scrap rate, yield, contribution margin, profit by customer, by sku, etc)
-Produce executive-level reports with clear narrative and actionable insights
-Leverage tools like Power BI, Tableau and Excel dashboards for self-serve analytics

4. Strategic Support
-Support the budget and long-range planning process (3–5 year horizon)
-Analyze customer/product profitability and recommend pricing/mix adjustments
-Assist in due diligence, M&A integration, and ad hoc financial deep dives

Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting
3+ years of FP&A, financial analysis, or manufacturing finance experience
Excel power user and fluency with QuickBooks Online
Strong understanding of cost accounting and manufacturing operations
Proven ability to translate financial data into business insight

What Success Looks Like
You manage upwards and have a running prioritized list of tasks at hand at all times
You don’t just report variances—you explain them and offer solutions
Your models are clean, logical, and built for “what’s next”
You’re the go-to person when someone needs a fast, accurate read on financial impact.
