Reporting to the business manager for financial operations, you'll support monthly reporting packages—including cash flow, balance sheet, and income statement—ensuring data completeness and accuracy.

Ideal for FP&A professionals seeking to enhance their resume with enterprise performance management (EPM) experience in a vibrant New York finance hub.

Your day-to-day will revolve around core FP&A activities optimized for efficiency:

• Budget vs. Variance Reporting: Craft detailed budget-to-actual reports, dissecting variances to spotlight key drivers, risks, and improvement opportunities—empowering leadership with foresight.
• Budget Support & Monitoring: Partner with 12 cost center managers, guiding budget creation, tracking expenditures, and safeguarding financial targets amid dynamic business needs.
• Process Improvement: Champion enhancements in budgeting, reporting, and data workflows; hunt for automation to supercharge daily FP&A operations and reduce manual efforts.
• Systems & Tools Mastery: Harness EPM solutions like Smartview alongside BI tools (Domo or Tableau equivalents) for seamless data extraction, analysis, and compelling visualizations.
• Data Analysis & Quality: Act as the team's 'data ninja,' enforcing accuracy and integrity to fuel trustworthy decision-making across the organization.
• Financial Reporting Support: Collaborate closely with the business manager, delivering timely data for monthly closes while maintaining precision in P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow elements.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Host performance review meetings, troubleshoot issues, and translate financial insights into strategic recommendations for business line leaders.
• G&A Focus: Dive deep into expense categories ripe for actionable insights, optimizing costs without the overhead of payroll complexities.

Required Qualifications

To thrive, bring these essential skills and experiences to the table:

• 5+ years in FP&A or financial analysis roles, ideally in multi-cost-center environments.
• Proficiency in EPM tools (Smartview) and BI platforms (Domo, Tableau); advanced Excel a must.
• Strong variance analysis, forecasting, and budgeting expertise.
• Proven track record in data quality improvement and process automation.
• Exceptional communication for cross-functional collaboration.
• Bachelor's in Finance, Accounting, or equivalent; MBA or CPA a plus.
