Job description

BNP Associates, Inc., a global leader in air transportation consulting and engineering, has an immediate need for an FP&A Manager in one of our U.S. offices. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to BNP’s continued growth and innovation while working with top professionals in the field.

Position Summary

The FP&A Manager will serve as the senior financial planning and analysis leader, responsible for building, owning, and continuously improving BNP's FP&A function. This role sets the direction for how the business analyzes performance, forecasts projects, manages budgets, and safeguards data integrity across financial systems.

This role reports to the CFO of BNP and directly manages the FP&A Analyst, sharing responsibility for daily analysis and reporting while taking the lead on process design, model architecture, executive communication, and initiatives across teams such as acquisition integration. This is an actively involved leadership role: the FP&A Manager is expected to both do the work at a high level and build the systems, controls, and team capability that let FP&A scale with the business.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Analysis & Executive Insight

• Own the analysis function in full: set the analytical agenda and identify what new data points and metrics the business needs.
• Guide the FP&A Analyst in producing the underlying analysis that supports leadership decisions.
• Translate findings into clear narratives for leadership and serve as the primary voice educating executives and department leaders on financial performance and drivers.
• Establish the reporting architecture for the department: define what gets reported, at what cadence, and to whom.
• Direct the development and maintenance of automated, real-time reporting, in partnership with the FP&A Analyst, so project teams have live visibility into performance.
• Ensure new data points are captured as the business evolves.

Project Forecasting Model

• Lead the design and ongoing evolution of the project forecasting model in Deltek, establishing it as a durable, scalable tool for the organization.
• Set standards for how forecasts are built, validated, and updated.
• Work with the FP&A Analyst to maintain and refine the model over time.

Budget Planning & Performance

• Own the annual budgeting process.
• Analyze 2025 and 2026 budget performance and drive the 2026 forecast, using those findings to shape a stronger, more data-informed 2027 budget cycle.
• Present budget versus actual insights and recommendations directly to leadership.
• Design and implement the department's financial controls framework, in Deltek and in team workflows, to ensure accuracy in data entry, reporting, and forecasting.
• Set the standards and review cadence for control execution.
• Partner with the FP&A Analyst on ongoing control execution and exception resolution.
• Lead FP&A's role in integrating newly acquired entities into Deltek.
• Partner with acquired teams and internal stakeholders to design reporting structures and control processes that ensure data accuracy from day one.
• Support execution alongside the FP&A Analyst.
• Directly manage, mentor, and develop the FP&A Analyst.
• Set priorities, review work product, and build a clear division of labor.
• Ensure tactical execution and strategic ownership reinforce each other rather than duplicate effort.

Process Ownership & Continuous Improvement

• Serve as a thought partner to Finance leadership on process improvement, systems strategy, and the FP&A roadmap over the long term.
• Help ensure the function matures alongside company growth and complexity.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; equivalent work experience will also be considered.
• 5 to 8+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, including demonstrated ownership of forecasting, budgeting, and reporting processes.
• Direct, practical experience with Deltek strongly preferred; comfort building and maintaining forecasting models within an ERP/project accounting system.

Preferred

• MBA or other relevant advanced degree.
• Prior experience leading, mentoring, or managing analysts or junior finance staff.
• Experience supporting M&A integration or consolidation across multiple entities.
• Strong leadership and team development capabilities, with proven experience managing, mentoring, and developing analysts or junior finance staff.
• Advanced Excel skills, with experience using BI/reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) and automating recurring reports.
• Strong track record of designing financial controls and driving data accuracy across teams and systems.
• Excellent communication skills, with demonstrated ability to translate financial data into insights for audiences outside of finance.
• Process-oriented, with a focus on continuous improvement as the function scales.

Working Conditions

• We are ideally seeking candidates located in Denver, CO or Fairfield, CT (candidate's choice of office).
• Primarily in-office; a hybrid work environment is available, aligned with company policy.
• Standard 40-hour work week with occasional additional time required during budget and forecast cycles.

Salary Range: $125k - $150k annually, commensurate with experience, skills, and qualifications.
