Our client is seeking a strong Manager, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to oversee corporate financial planning activities and partner with regional finance teams to deliver meaningful insights for management reporting and strategic decision-making. This role plays a key part in refining financial systems, improving consolidation and reporting processes, and supporting the organization’s overall financial performance.

The Manager will act as an important bridge between regional FP&A teams and corporate leadership, helping ensure accurate, timely, and consistent financial information is collected, analyzed, and presented in the format required for executive decision-making. This opportunity is well suited to a collaborative finance professional who combines strong technical and analytical skills with the confidence to build relationships, hold stakeholders accountable, and lead thoughtful financial discussions across a complex organization.

Key Responsibilities

Budgeting, Forecasting & Financial Analysis

• Lead and coordinate the annual budgeting process, working closely with stakeholders across the organization to consolidate and analyze regional submissions.
• Oversee the monthly forecasting cycle and collaborate with regional operating teams to provide detailed financial analysis and performance updates.
• Analyze quarterly financial results to support management discussions and board reporting.
• Prepare dashboards, KPI analyses, financial models, and management reporting for senior leadership.
• Consolidate financial information from multiple regions, business units, and FP&A teams while ensuring accuracy and adherence to reporting deadlines.
• Manage ad hoc financial analyses, projects, and reporting requests from senior management.

Business Partnership & Stakeholder Management

• Act as a key liaison between regional FP&A teams and corporate leadership, ensuring expectations, deadlines, and reporting requirements are clearly communicated.
• Build strong working relationships across multiple teams, geographies, and levels of the organization.
• Follow up with stakeholders to ensure required financial information is delivered accurately and on time.
• Lead logical, constructive discussions when assumptions, results, or reporting inputs require challenge or clarification.
• Translate complex financial information into clear, actionable insights for senior decision-makers.

Process Improvement & Systems

• Partner with internal subject matter experts and external consultants to enhance consolidation and reporting tools.
• Develop new reports and improve existing reporting frameworks to strengthen the FP&A function.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to streamline, standardize, and automate financial processes.
• Support system implementation and enhancement initiatives involving platforms such as OneStream, TM1, Mercatus, HFM, or comparable enterprise financial systems.
• Identify opportunities to improve reporting quality, efficiency, consistency, and transparency.

Leadership & Team Development

• Provide guidance, mentorship, and oversight to team members.
• Support the development of a collaborative, accountable, and high-performing FP&A culture.

They have a strong foundation in budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, consolidation, and management reporting and are highly proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.

The successful candidate will ideally bring experience from a large, global, or multi-entity organization with complex reporting structures.
