• Provide financial evaluation and business-case support for technology investments, including build-vs-buy, ROI, and payback analysis
• Partner with the Controller to reconcile forecast-to-actual results, ensure consistency between reported actuals and forward-looking plans, and align on month-end close implications for forecasting
• Develop and maintain KPI dashboards and management reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into performance versus budget, forecast, and prior year across all entities
• Prepare and present financial materials for senior leadership, executive, and ownership/board-level meetings
• Lead scenario planning and ad hoc financial modeling in support of strategic initiatives (e.g., new business lines, capital investment, M&A evaluation)
• Recommend and implement process, systems, and automation improvements to increase the speed and accuracy of planning and reporting
• Partner with other finance leaders (Controller, Treasury/other finance roles) to ensure a consistent, well-controlled financial planning process across the organization
• Define and build out the corporate FP&A organization, including determining which existing and future FP&A positions report into this role as the broader finance structure is finalized
• Hire, coach, and develop FP&A staff as the organization scales; set individual and team performance goals
• Establish the operating rhythm, standards, and career paths for a growing FP&A organization
• Perform other duties as required
