  • Maintain accurate and timely forecast inputs in Adaptive Planning and reconcile results to source data, including NetSuite, Excel models, and business inputs.
  • Prepare recurring financial reports, variance commentary, management summaries, and KPI dashboards.

Business Partnership.

  • Partner with Accounting and Commercial teams to support month-end close, inventory analysis, and accurate reporting of revenue, cost, and gross margin.
  • Monitor key performance indicators, including inventory turns, sell-through, and aging, and highlight relevant risks and opportunities.
  • Support ad hoc financial analysis, modeling, and reporting as business priorities evolve.

What You Bring To The Team

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. An MBA, CFA, or other relevant advanced credential is a plus.
  • 3 or more years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, commercial finance, or a related role, preferably within the automotive, manufacturing, consumer products, or retail industries.
  • Experience analyzing revenue, gross margin, costs, inventory, or commercial performance.
  • Strong financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and variance-analysis skills.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and financial analysis tools. Experience with Adaptive Planning, NetSuite, or similar financial systems is preferred.
  • Strong analytical capabilities, attention to detail, and commitment to data accuracy.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders.
