This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on cross-functional collaboration, can juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball, and is motivated by the chance to turn data into action in a fast-moving, high-transaction volume, multi-location business. You’ll be a key partner across the organization—helping leaders make smarter decisions, driving transparency, and building the tools and processes that power growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with business leaders across departments to understand key drivers, align goals, and deliver actionable financial insights
• Lead improvements in financial and operational reporting by identifying and implementing tech-forward solutions
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning with a focus on automation and continuous improvement
• Build and maintain financial models, reporting tools, and KPI dashboards to enable real-time decision-making
• Analyze customer segment profitability and behavior trends to uncover opportunities for growth and margin expansion
• Contribute to high-impact strategic initiatives including M&A, capital projects, and organic growth strategies through data-driven financial analysis
• Support internal and external reporting and deliver ad-hoc analysis across branches, product lines, customer segments, and operational departments

Requirements:

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of progressive FP&A, strategy, or business intelligence experience, ideally within high-growth, private company roles; industry experience in multi-location retail or high-volume distribution is strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of GAAP
• Strong technical skills and experience with BI tools (Power BI, Phocus, etc.) and ERP/FP&A systems
• Proven ability to build trust and influence cross-functional teams
• Exceptional analytical thinking with the ability to simplify complexity
• Professional maturity to take ownership, operate with transparency, and focus on driving outcomes with a willingness to be ‘hands-on’ when needed
