Stand up and mature the FP&A function at portfolio companies—aligning monthly/quarterly cadences to production and S&OP cycles; connect plant KPIs to board-level value drivers.
Build multi-year operating and cash flow models incorporating SKU/margin waterfalls, standard costing, labor/overhead absorption, capex and maintenance capital plans, and footprint scenarios (greenfield/brownfield, consolidation, make-vs-buy). Convert strategy into annual and monthly budgets and rolling forecasts (12–18 months).
Design executive dashboards and plant scorecards that tie OEE, yield, scrap, throughput, changeover time, schedule adherence, and on-time delivery to revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, and cash. Compare actuals and YTD vs. plan, forecast, and prior year; drive variance narratives and corrective actions.
Stand up or refine standard costing, BOM/routings integrity, PPV/MPV tracking, labor efficiency, overhead rates, cost-to-serve, and SKU/customer/channel profitability.
Lead 13-week cash flow forecasting that reflects supply-chain timing, inventory turns, WIP aging, and capex drawdowns; support covenant modeling, borrowing-base dynamics, and liquidity scenarios under volume/mix and commodity volatility.
Integrate demand plans, constrained supply, and capacity plans into financial forecasts; size working-capital opportunities in inventory (safety stock, MOQ, slow-moving/obsolete) and receivables/payables levers.
Build business cases for automation, debottlenecking, and energy efficiency; implement gated capex governance and post-implementation reviews.
Assess current state and evolve analytical tools (Excel, Power BI/Tableau/Looker; SQL/Alteryx a plus). Partner across ERP (e.g., SAP/Oracle/Infor), MES, and data pipelines to ensure plant-to-P&L traceability.
Develop relationships with portfolio leadership, plant GMs/operations, and PE sponsors; scope and deliver engagements; contribute to proposals and practice growth. Mentor and develop junior team members.
9+ years in FP&A and/or restructuring/turnaround, preferably in PE-backed industrial/manufacturing environments (discrete, process, or contract manufacturing). Proven track record partnering with CFOs, COOs, and plant leaders.
Deep command of income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow; expert at bridging shop-floor metrics to P&L/cash.
Modeling & analytics: Advanced Excel (including complex models, scenario/sensitivity analysis, and automation with macros); strong dashboarding and data-wrangling skills (Power BI/Tableau; SQL/Alteryx) and EPM tools (Adaptive, Anaplan, OneStream) a plus.
