Job Summary

This strategic role owns budgeting and performance analysis, forecasting, and business analytics across the platform and is the primary analytical partner to the leadership team. The individual provides actionable insights to leadership, drives performance through data, and supports decision-making that aligns with company objectives. The ideal candidate possesses deep financial expertise, outstanding analytical abilities, and proven proficiency in Microsoft Excel. Preference for NetSuite experience and business intelligence software (e.g., PowerDB)., ELT automation and/or artificial intelligence platforms (e.g., Claude), and quantitative modeling and deep learning technique experience is a plus.

Supervisory Responsibilities

• Directly supervises the Financial Planning and Analysis Analyst and grows the team as the platform scales; operates as a player-coach who builds models and pulls data personally rather than routing all analytical work to staff.

Duties/Responsibilities

• Build and own the annual budget, the rolling forecast, and the long-range plan across all subsidiaries in NetSuite OneWorld, consolidated across entities and multiple currencies.

ith ambiguity and an incomplete toolset; treats gaps as things to go fix rather than reasons the answer is unavailable.

• Genuinely curious about the operation - crews, job sites, schedules, and equipment - not only the financial statements.
• Fluent in, or hungry to learn, modern data and AI tooling; we expect this seat to be materially more productive than a traditional FP&A role.
• Direct and low-ego. Will push back on leadership with data, and will be pushed back on.

Experience and Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field.
• MBA or CFA encouraged but not required.
• 4+ years of progressive FP&A experience, with at least 1 year leading the function or serving as the senior-most analytical resource. Time spent building the model counts more than time spent managing people who built it.
• Hands-on NetSuite experience strongly preferred. Advanced Excel required. Experience implementing a planning system - Adaptive, Planful, Vena, Pigment, or similar – seen positively.
• Strong financial modeling and forecasting skills, demonstrated in a live modeling and data exercise during the interview process rather than described on a resume.
• Experience in a project-based business - electrical, mechanical, construction, engineering, or field services - with percentage-of-completion revenue, WIP, and job costing, strongly preferred.
• Experience in a private equity-backed and/or acquisitive environment, including lender and sponsor reporting, preferred.

Physical Requirements

• This is an office desk position with no significant physical exertion required.
