Reporting directly to the CFO, this pivotal role offers the chance to shape the organization's financial future through strategic forecasting, in-depth analysis, and high-impact projects. With a hybrid work arrangement providing exceptional flexibility, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of collaboration and autonomy.

Why This FP&A Manager Position Stands Out

In today's competitive job market for finance roles in New York, this opportunity combines competitive compensation around $140,000 with meaningful responsibilities that directly influence company growth. The hybrid model allows for remote work flexibility, making it ideal for professionals in the Capital Region seeking work-life balance. Leverage your skills in Excel-based modeling, projections, and strategic planning to contribute to mergers, acquisitions, and financial statement preparation.

Key Responsibilities

As FP&A Manager, you'll lead critical financial functions essential to the company's expansion. Your day-to-day will include:

• Creating accurate financial forecasts, long-term projections, and scenario analyses to guide executive decision-making.
• Developing detailed cash flow projections to ensure liquidity and optimize working capital management.
• Maintaining and enhancing complex spreadsheets and financial models using advanced Excel functions, pivot tables, and potentially Power BI or other tools.
• Supporting mergers and acquisitions activities, from due diligence and valuation modeling to post-merger integration financial planning.
• Assisting in the preparation and review of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in collaboration with accounting teams.
• Performing variance analysis on budgets vs. actuals, identifying key drivers, and recommending corrective actions.
• Collaborating with department heads on annual budgeting processes and rolling forecasts.
• Taking on special projects as assigned by the CFO, such as profitability analysis, KPI development, and process automation initiatives.

This role demands a proactive approach, where you'll translate data into actionable insights for stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

To excel as our FP&A Manager, you should bring:

• A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field; MBA or CPA/CMA certification is highly preferred.
• 5-8 years of progressive FP&A experience, ideally in a mid-to-large corporate environment with growth trajectories.
• Expert-level proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH, macros, etc.), financial modeling, and ERP systems like NetSuite or SAP.
• Proven track record in cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and M&A support.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to handle large datasets and deliver clear, concise reports.
• Excellent communication and presentation abilities to interface with C-suite executives, including the CFO.
