The company is seeking an experienced FP&A Manager to support the Services business unit, which handles operations and maintenance (O&M) of the hardware/equipment fleet in the field.
In this role, you will own the annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range planning for the Services business line, including revenue, cost of service, and margin analysis. You will partner closely with Operations, Field Service, and Supply Chain leadership to build and maintain comprehensive cost models covering field labor, spare parts/inventory, truck rolls, warranty, and third-party service contracts.
Key responsibilities include tracking and reporting on O&M/hardware operating metrics (fleet uptime, mean time to repair, cost per unit serviced, service margin by contract/customer) and connecting them to financial performance. You will prepare monthly management reporting packages with variance analysis and clear narrative on drivers. You'll support pricing and contract profitability analysis for service agreements, maintenance contracts, and warranty programs, and build financial models to evaluate capital investments and business cases for new service programs or geographic expansion.
Additional responsibilities include partnering with Accounting on month-end close to ensure accurate cost allocation and revenue recognition for service/maintenance contracts, identifying cost-saving and margin-improvement opportunities, developing dashboards and self-service reporting tools for operational leaders, and supporting ad hoc analyses for senior leadership, including board and investor reporting materials.
The ideal candidate has 5–7 years of FP&A experience, ideally within a hardware, equipment, industrials, or asset-heavy services environment, and is comfortable translating operational metrics into financial outcomes.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
- 7–10 years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience
- Experience supporting a hardware, equipment, industrials, field services, or asset-intensive business (O&M, install base, or service organizations strongly preferred)
- Strong financial modeling skills (advanced Excel required; experience building models from scratch)
- Experience with budgeting/forecasting tools and ERP systems
- Ability to translate operational/technical metrics into financial insights for non-finance stakeholders
- Strong communication skills; comfortable presenting to senior operational and finance leadership
**Preferred:**
- MBA or CFA
- Hardware/manufacturing background
- Familiarity with cost accounting and revenue recognition as it applies to maintenance/warranty agreements
- Experience with BI/reporting tools
