About the Company

The Company is a 12-year old consumer brand in an outdoors category. We go to market through mass market retailers like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods, marketplaces like Amazon, and direct-to-consumer as a monthly subscription box. The business was formerly a venture-backed company, and is now under new ownership and operating with a cash-flow focused strategy for long-term business viability.

Position Overview

We’re looking for an experienced and analytically sharp Financial Analyst based in the Philippines to join our core finance team. This person will own FP&A workflows, deliver timely and accurate reporting, and support strategic initiatives across our omnichannel business. This role will replace outgoing contractor support and embed directly with the U.S.-based executive and finance teams. The position reports to the VP of Finance and collaborates with accounting, operations, and the CEO.

Core responsibilities

● Financial planning & forecasting – Maintain and update our dynamic operating model and cash flow forecast; support budget creation and monthly reforecasting cycles.

● Reporting & performance tracking – Deliver recurring financial dashboards and insights on revenue, margin, COGS, working capital, and EBITDA by channel (DTC, wholesale, Amazon).

● Inventory & working capital analytics – Reconcile inventory data across platforms, analyze landed cost trends, and support operations in improving forecast accuracy.

● Process automation & tooling – Build and enhance Excel/Google Sheets models; automate workflows and reporting using AI tools and macros where appropriate.

● Board, lender & investor support – Assist in preparing finance packages and investor updates with a high level of accuracy, presentation quality, and insight.

What makes you the right fit

● Technical & business acumen – 3–7 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or accounting. Experience with inventory-heavy or omnichannel consumer businesses strongly preferred.

● U.S. business exposure – Comfortable working with U.S. finance teams, time zones, and tools. Previous experience as a trusted analyst embedded with a U.S. team is a plus.

● Advanced modeling skills – High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (index-match, array formulas, pivot tables, scripting); ability to build from scratch.

● Data-first mindset – Strong analytical rigor with comfort in messy datasets, CSVs, EDI files, and working cross-functionally to fill gaps.

● AI-native operator – Regular user of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Excel CoPilot) to increase speed, accuracy, and process innovation.

● Effective communicator – Clear written and verbal English; able to translate data into insights for operators and execs.

● U.S. hours coverage – Able to overlap with New York business hours for 4–5 hours/day minimum.
