About The Position

L2 Brands is seeking a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst to join their team. This role involves transforming data into actionable insights for leadership, bridging Finance, Operations, Sales, and Supply Chain. The analyst will be responsible for forecasting demand, analyzing product margins, and monitoring key business metrics. This is a strategic role focused on guiding future business decisions, requiring a strong understanding of financial concepts and the ability to communicate them effectively.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Finance or Accounting
• 3+ years of progressive FP&A experience, ideally in a manufacturing environment
• Real comfort with cost accounting and inventory management concepts
• Advanced Excel skills
• The ability to translate “financial speak” into plain English for non-finance folks
• A collaborative streak — you'll be working across production, sales, and supply chain
• Solid organizational chops and the ability to juggle competing deadlines without dropping the ball

Nice To Haves

• MBA, CFA, or CPA
• Power BI experience
• Bonus points if you've used AI tools (like Claude) to work smarter, not just harder

Responsibilities

• Build annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and long-range financial models (revenue, COGS, opex, capex)
• Partner with production and supply chain on demand planning vs. manufacturing capacity
• Own monthly/quarterly performance reporting, including variance vs. budget and prior year
• Dig into product-level profitability — raw materials, labor efficiency, decoration method costs
• Track the KPIs that matter: gross margin %, inventory turns, order fill rate, labor utilization
• Present findings to leadership in a way that actually lands (no jargon walls)
• Help evaluate capital investments — new decorating equipment, warehouse automation, etc.
• Jump into ad hoc analysis whenever a “hey, can you pull some numbers on this?” comes in
• Partner with IT/Finance to make systems and data more accurate and less painful to use
