FP&A Senior Manager

FP&A Senior Manager Fully Remote – Prefer East Coast Based 

We are seeking a highly capable FP&A Senior Manager to support rapid growth. The company is a $135M private equity–owned business expected to scale to $250M within the next two years through both organic expansion and M&A activity.

The ideal candidate is a strong relationship builder with excellent communication skills, a deep analytical mindset, and the ability to partner effectively across the organization. Success requires quickly learning the business, understanding operational drivers, and delivering accurate, timely financial insights.

This is a high-visibility role that works closely with the CFO (direct manager), Controller, General Managers, Operations leadership, Service Director, and other executives.
