- Analyze monthly financial results, identifying trends and explaining variances to budget and forecast.
- Partner with operations and sales leaders to provide financial guidance that supports business growth and operational excellence.
- Develop financial models, business cases, and profitability analyses for strategic initiatives.
- Analyze manufacturing costs, including materials, labor, overhead, inventory, and production variances.
- Identify opportunities to improve margins, reduce costs, and enhance operational efficiency.
- Perform month-end close responsibilities, including journal entries and management reporting.
- Develop, maintain, and enhance Power BI dashboards, KPIs, and management reports.
- Create executive-level reporting packages that translate financial data into actionable insights.
- Utilize ERP and financial planning systems to improve reporting and decision support.
- Participate in cross-functional projects and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Support ad hoc financial analysis and special projects for senior leadership.
- What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline.
- 3+ years of financial analysis or accounting experience within a manufacturing environment.
- Strong understanding of cost accounting, inventory, and manufacturing operations.
- Experience partnering with operational leaders to solve business challenges.
- Advanced analytical and financial modeling skills.
- Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
- Experience with ERP systems (e.g. JDE) and financial planning/consolidation tools such as Oracle.
- Experience developing dashboards and reports using Power BI or similar business intelligence tools.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to present financial information to non-financial audiences.
- Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
- Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with standard costing and variance analysis.
- Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing or continuous improvement methodologies.
- Experience supporting multi-site or multi-entity manufacturing operations.
