  • Perform ad‑hoc analysis on pricing, mix, cost trends, and capital investments (ROI/NPV)
  • Standardize and improve reporting processes, models, and planning calendars
  • Support long‑range planning and scenario/sensitivity analyses
  • Ensure data accuracy and alignment between FP&A models and the GL

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA or progress toward CPA a plus
  • 3–6+ years in public accounting (audit or assurance) or corporate accounting with strong financial statement fluency; prior FP&A experience preferred but not required
