Summary:
Our client is seeking a Senior Manager, Finance, Accounting & Analytics to help modernize
and scale a growing finance organization.
This is a
hands-on, analytical, change-agent role that combines core accounting
experience such as US GAAP, audit compliance, etc., but also data driven
FP&A, financial analytics, process improvement, systems transformation, KPI
development, and decision support.
This is a
key role at a business unit recently acquired by Private Equity; a business
that is healthy and profitable, but also in need of transforming people,
processes and systems to get to the next stage.
The Senior
Manager will lead a team of five across Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable,
and Inventory, while partnering closely with the Corporate CFO and other
business functions.
The role
goes well beyond maintaining the accounting function. The successful candidate
will help the organization understand what is happening in the business, why it
is happening, and guide actions for leadership.
You will
work with large financial and operational datasets, extract and structure
information from multiple sources, develop meaningful KPIs, analyze trends and
business drivers, strengthen controls and processes, and create financial
visibility that supports better operational and strategic decisions.
The ideal
candidate is equally comfortable working in an ERP system, building an Excel
model, analyzing a large dataset, reviewing accounting controls, documenting a
process, developing a KPI, and sitting with the CFO to explain what the numbers
mean.
