FP&A Analyst

Our Finance team helps drive smart, data-informed decisions across a fast-paced, multi-unit business. We're looking for an analytical, curious, and highly collaborative FP&A Analyst who loves turning numbers into action. This role goes well beyond reporting: you'll build unit-level financial models, partner closely with leaders across the business to understand performance, and support both day-to-day forecasting and strategic initiatives — including M&A evaluation and post-close integration. The ideal candidate is exceptionally strong in Excel, energized by digging into data to answer "why," and brings prior exposure to deal work (M&A and/or private equity).

• Monitor business performance and proactively identify financial risks and opportunities.

Business Partnership

• Serve as a trusted finance partner to cross-functional leaders across the business.

• Ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and help leaders make better decisions through data.
• Present analyses in a way that's clear and meaningful for both financial and non-financial audiences.

• Conduct competitive benchmark analysis and help establish financial performance targets for new and existing units.

Analysis, Reporting & Process Improvement

• Prepare monthly reporting packages, KPI dashboards, variance analyses, and executive/Board presentations.
• Analyze sales, labor, cost of goods, operating expenses, and margins by unit to identify trends and explain performance.

• Partner with Accounting during the month-end close to ensure results are accurate and aligned with the forecast.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, consulting, investment banking, public accounting, or a similarly analytical role.
• Prior M&A and/or private equity experience required — e.g., deal modeling, due diligence, or portfolio-company FP&A/value-creation work.
• Advanced, demonstrable Excel and financial modeling skills — able to build and audit complex models independently (three-statement modeling, LBO/accretion-dilution, unit-level economics, scenario/sensitivity analysis).
