Hybrid Role:
Manager, Strategic Finance - Atlanta, GA
3 days a week in office
One of my favorite clients, a well-capitalized, PE-backed multi-location services platform is looking for a Strategic Finance Manager to take ownership of the financial story behind a significant, high-visibility segment of the business. This isn't a back-office reporting role. It's a seat at the table where finance meets operations, with direct line of sight to senior leadership and real influence over how a business unit performs.
You'll be the financial translator between the field and the executive suite: someone who can get into the weeds of unit-level P&Ls, spot what's really driving performance (or holding it back), and turn that into insight that shapes decisions at the top. Leadership is investing real resources into this function right now - this role exists because they want sharper visibility and faster answers than they've had before
What you'll do:- Serve as the embedded finance partner to Operations and Marketing leadership across a multi-unit portfolio
- Build deep fluency in the underlying P&Ls - revenue drivers, margin, labor, and cost dynamics
- Own the KPI narrative: track performance, diagnose root causes, and flag risks and opportunities before they become problems
- Partner closely with FP&A on forecasting and budgeting, feeding the intelligence that shapes the numbers
- Help administer incentive and bonus programs across the portfolio
- Help standardization and process improvement across a fast-moving, multi-brand operating environment
- Build reporting and dashboards that senior leadership and the board actually rely on
- 4-6+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally with real exposure to a multi-unit or multi-location operating environment
- Track record of owning or supporting a P&L at the unit or regional level
- Strong financial modeling and analytical chops — Excel fluency is a must
- Strong ability to translate complex financial concepts into plain language for non-finance operators
- Have a bias toward action: someone who can take a vague signal ("costs are up, figure out why") and run with it
- High intellectual horsepower and hustle matter more here than a specific pedigree — we're prioritizing sharp, driven people over a checklist resume
