Job description

A global industrial manufacturing company in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is searching for a Finance Manager to lead financial performance management for one of its operating units. This role owns planning, budgeting, forecasting, and month end close for the business unit, and sits close enough to leadership that the analysis actually changes decisions rather than just documenting them.

This opportunity is ideal for a finance professional who wants a seat at the table instead of a reporting function. The role partners directly with the Senior Finance Manager and business unit leadership on capital investment decisions, long range planning, and strategic initiatives, and the company puts real money behind training and internal advancement. The ideal candidate will bring five to seven years in finance, accounting, or FP&A, advanced modeling and forecasting skills, and the presence to influence senior stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Direct planning, budgeting, and forecasting for the operating unit, working with cross functional leaders so financial targets are understood and achievable.
• Lead month end close, protecting the accuracy and integrity of results while finding places the process can run cleaner.
• Build and govern the financial models behind long range planning, forecasting, and scenario analysis, keeping them accurate, scalable, and consistent with corporate standards.
• Evaluate major capital investments and strategic proposals, weighing returns and risk against corporate objectives.
• Turn complex financial data into high level variance analysis and clear recommendations leadership can act on.

Client Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, or a related business field
• 5-7 years in FP&A ideally focusing on BU finance
• MBA, CPA, or CMA strongly preferred
• Distribution or manufacturing background a plus
• Willing to travel up to 10 percent
• Benefits start on day one, HDV including other health benefits
