About The Position

We’re looking for a Financial Planning & Analysis Manager to help ESS understand its financial performance and plan for its next stage of growth. This is a hands-on, highly analytical role: you’ll own budgeting and forecasting, build financial models, explain variances, and partner directly with operational leaders and senior management. It’s a role for someone who asks “Why?” when a number moves, can turn complex data into a clear story, and wants their analysis to change decisions, not just fill a report.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience in FP&A.
A track record of leading budgets and forecasts and building financial models from the ground up.
Advanced Excel skills and comfort working with large datasets.
Experience presenting financial results and recommendations to non-finance leaders.
Strong experience with Workday Adaptive.

Nice To Haves

Experience managing or mentoring financial analysts.
Workday ERP, Power BI, Tableau, or other BI tools.
Experience with M&A, pricing, or profitability analysis.
Experience in a multi-location, labor-driven business such as staffing or services.

Responsibilities

Lead the annual budget and long-range planning processes.
Own monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasts, partnering with business leaders to keep them realistic.
Build scenario analyses and driver-based models to evaluate opportunities and risks.
Analyze revenue, labor costs, margins, and expenses against budget, forecast, and prior year.
Investigate significant variances and explain the business drivers behind them.
Prepare reporting packages and presentations for senior management, with clear recommendations.
Provide ad hoc analysis to support operational and strategic decisions.
Use Workday Adaptive Planning for budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and modeling.
Build and maintain reporting models and dashboards using ERP, BI, and other data sources.
Automate manual reporting and improve the accuracy and consistency of financial data.
Support financial analysis of acquisitions, pricing, investments, and other strategic initiatives.
Identify opportunities to improve profitability, efficiency, and operating performance.
