Our client is hiring for a Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) in Alpharetta, GA. Our client, a fast-growing, innovative company, is looking to bring on a Manager to build a best-in-class financial planning and analysis function from the ground up. This is a true build-and-lead role you’ll own annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and close-cycle variance analysis while managing a team of two analysts. The ideal person has run a full budgeting and forecasting cycle before, is energized by designing new processes rather than just maintaining them, and enjoys staying hands-on with the analysis while coaching a small team. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and want real ownership over how FP&A operates, this is a great next step.
Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end annual budgeting process timeline, templates, and consolidation partnering with department leaders to build accurate budgets, and rebuild the process to scale as the company grows
- Lead quarterly forecast updates and a repeatable variance-analysis process tied to the close calendar, identifying drivers and flagging risks or opportunities across the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow
- Deliver recurring reporting packages (budget-to-actual, forecast-to-actual, KPI trends) along with leadership-ready commentary that explains the story behind the numbers
- Manage and develop a team of two FP&A Analysts while driving process improvement and automation across financial and reporting systems
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
- 5+ years of progressive FP&A, budgeting, or financial analysis experience with hands-on ownership of a budgeting/forecasting cycle; mixed accounting and FP&A background highly desired
- Prior formal leadership experience required, with a track record of building not just maintaining budgeting, forecasting, or variance-reporting processes
- Advanced Excel skills (Pivot Tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, SUMIFS) and experience with ERP/BI tools such as Sage Intacct or Domo
