- at C.A. Fortune
- Serve as the embedded FP&A lead for our core Brokerage business, Build (emerging business), and In-Store - owning forecasting, budgeting, reporting, and variance analysis for each.
- Follow the standard finance calendar cadence: support month-end close in week one, then move into forecast development, business leader readouts, and ownership of recurring business reporting for the remainder of the cycle.
- Partner directly with SVP- and executive-level business leaders to understand upcoming spend, business strategy, and organizational plans, translating that context into forecasts that reflect where the business is actually headed.
- Proactively keep the VP Finance appraised of risks, opportunities, and in-flight updates - surfacing issues early rather than waiting to be asked.
- Compare actual results to budget and forecast, identify root causes of variances, and bring forward actionable recommendations rather than just the numbers.
- Conduct financial analysis of strategic initiatives to identify trends that should influence business decisions.
- Prepare content for ongoing leadership and board-level reviews as needed.
