Our client is seeking a strong Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to oversee corporate financial planning activities and partner with regional finance teams to deliver meaningful insights for management reporting and strategic decision-making. This role plays a key part in refining financial systems, improving consolidation and reporting processes, and supporting the organization’s overall financial performance. The Manager will act as an important bridge between regional FP&A teams and corporate leadership, helping ensure accurate, timely, and consistent financial information is collected, analyzed, and presented in the format required for executive decision-making. This opportunity is well suited to a collaborative finance professional who combines strong technical and analytical skills with the confidence to build relationships, hold stakeholders accountable, and lead thoughtful financial discussions across a complex organization.

Key Responsibilities

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Analysis

• Lead and coordinate the annual budgeting process, working closely with stakeholders across the organization to consolidate and analyze regional submissions.
• Oversee the monthly forecasting cycle and collaborate with regional operating teams to provide detailed financial analysis and performance updates.
• Analyze quarterly financial results to support management discussions and board reporting.
• Prepare dashboards, KPI analyses, financial models, and management reporting for senior leadership.
• Consolidate financial information from multiple regions, business units, and FP&A teams while ensuring accuracy and adherence to reporting deadlines.
• Manage ad hoc financial analyses, projects, and reporting requests from senior management.

Business Partnership & Stakeholder Management

• Act as a key liaison between regional FP&A teams and corporate leadership, ensuring expectations, deadlines, and reporting requirements are clearly communicated.
• Build strong working relationships across multiple teams, geographies, and levels of the organization.
• Follow up with stakeholders to ensure required financial information is delivered accurately and on time.
• Lead logical, constructive discussions when assumptions, results, or reporting inputs require challenge or clarification.
• Translate complex financial information into clear, actionable insights for senior decision-makers.

Process Improvement & Systems

• Partner with internal subject matter experts and external consultants to enhance consolidation and reporting tools.
• Develop new reports and improve existing reporting frameworks to strengthen the FP&A function.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to streamline, standardize, and automate financial processes.
• Support system implementation and enhancement initiatives involving platforms such as OneStream, TM1, Mercatus, HFM, or comparable enterprise financial systems.
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting quality, efficiency, consistency, and transparency.

Leadership & Team Development

• Provide guidance, mentorship, and oversight to team members.
• Support the development of a collaborative, accountable, and high-performing FP&A culture.
• Help strengthen team capabilities through coaching, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.
• Balance detailed financial analysis with broader strategic and organizational priorities.

The ideal candidate brings at least six years of progressive experience in financial analysis, corporate finance, or FP&A, including approximately three years of leadership, management, or supervisory experience. They have a strong foundation in budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, consolidation, and management reporting and are highly proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint. The successful candidate will ideally bring experience from a large, global, or multi-entity organization with complex reporting structures. Big 4 experience may also be highly relevant, particularly for candidates who have developed strong analytical, client-management, and cross‑functional communication skills. They should be comfortable collecting and consolidating information from multiple stakeholders, managing deadlines, challenging assumptions when necessary, and presenting clear financial insights to senior leadership.

What Will Make You Stand Out:

• Experience within a large, global, or multi-entity organization with complex consolidation and reporting requirements.
• Big 4 experience combined with strong financial analysis, business partnering, or corporate finance exposure.
• Demonstrated success leading budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, and management reporting processes.
• Proven ability to influence stakeholders, manage expectations, and hold teams accountable for financial deliverables.
• Experience leading process improvement, system enhancement, or automation initiatives within FP&A or financial reporting.
• Familiarity with OneStream, TM1, Mercatus, HFM, or similar enterprise financial systems.
• A strong track record of mentoring and developing team members while maintaining a collaborative leadership style.
