Director of Finance - FP&A

Southwest Accounting Resources•Chandler, AZ

2d•$150,000 - $200,000

About The Position

We're looking for a high-impact Director of Strategic Finance to serve as a trusted analytical partner to the C-Suite and senior leadership team. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations — with direct executive exposure and a meaningful seat at the table on decisions that shape the direction of the business. Reporting to the VP of FP&A, you'll drive financial modeling, M&A analysis, performance diagnostics, and board-level reporting across a large, multi-location network. You'll have direct C-Suite access and genuine influence over strategic decisions — not a back-office support function. If you thrive on complexity, move fast, and want your work to matter at the highest levels of an organization, this role is built for you.

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field is required; an MBA or master's degree is strongly preferred.
5+ years of experience in FP&A, investment banking, strategy consulting, or corporate development.
You're comfortable owning complex financial models end-to-end and presenting findings directly to senior executives.
Experience in multi-location retail environments.
Expert in Excel financial modeling, highly proficient in PowerPoint, and experienced with BI/data visualization tools like Power BI.

Responsibilities

Mergers & Acquisitions: Build financial models to evaluate acquisition targets, support due diligence, run valuation and scenario analyses, and track integration performance post-close.
Operational Performance: Analyze location-level financials using metrics like gross profit per unit, revenue per unit, inventory turns, service labor utilization, and expense ratios. Help leadership diagnose underperforming areas and identify improvement opportunities.
Strategic Initiatives: Provide financial and analytical support for high-priority projects led by the C-Suite, including cross-functional work spanning operations, finance, HR, and business development.
Executive & Board Reporting: Develop polished, insight-driven materials for leadership meetings and board presentations — translating complex data into clear, decision-ready narratives.
