Position Summary

The Senior FP&A Manager is a high-potential finance leader who partners directly with the CFO to own the company’s financial planning, reporting, and analysis function, while building the breadth of experience required to step into a Controller or CFO role. This position carries elevated scope and visibility compared to a traditional FP&A manager: the successful candidate will operate as a strategic advisor to executive leadership, represent the company in board and lender interactions, lead and develop a finance team, and maintain end-to-end command of the budget, forecast, reconciliation, and reporting processes that underpin the business.

National Underground Group is investing in this role as a deliberate succession pathway, and expects the incumbent to grow into progressively greater financial leadership responsibility.
