Employment Type

Core Talent Services is recruiting on behalf of a well-regarded company in Birmingham, Alabama for an experienced FP&A Analyst or Manager who is ready to serve as a key strategic financial partner to company leadership. This is a direct hire opportunity with an established organization that values financial rigor, analytical depth, and a genuine business-partnership approach to finance.

The title and scope of this role will flex based on the candidate’s experience level — a candidate with 7 to 10 years of focused FP&A experience will be considered at the Analyst level with a clear path to Manager, while a candidate with 10 or more years and demonstrated team leadership will be considered at the Manager level with broader organizational responsibility.

What does not flex is the requirement for deep, hands‑on FP&A expertise and the ability to translate financial data into meaningful business insight.

The FP&A Analyst / Manager will own the financial planning, forecasting, budgeting, and analytical functions that support the company’s strategic and operational decision‑making. This role is the connective tissue between the accounting function and executive leadership — taking historical financial data and operational metrics and turning them into forward‑looking analysis, variance explanations, and financial models that drive better business decisions.

This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role. The person in this seat will be in the room when strategic decisions are made, will present directly to the CFO and executive team, and will have meaningful influence over how the business thinks about its financial future.

• Develop and maintain rolling financial forecasts — monthly, quarterly, and annual — that accurately reflect the company’s evolving business trajectory
• Build and maintain integrated financial models that connect the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement
• Manage the long‑range financial planning process, translating strategic initiatives into multi‑year financial projections

• Prepare and present monthly financial reporting packages for the CFO and executive leadership including variance analysis, trend commentary, and performance insights
• Develop and maintain KPI dashboards and management reporting tools that provide clear, actionable visibility into business performance
• Perform detailed variance analysis comparing actual results to budget, forecast, and prior period, and provide clear written commentary explaining key drivers
• Analyze revenue trends, cost structures, and margin dynamics to identify risks, opportunities, and levers for financial improvement

• Serve as a financial partner to operational and business unit leaders, providing analytical support for key business decisions, investments, and initiatives
• Support capital allocation decisions through financial modeling, ROI analysis, and business case development
• Perform ad hoc financial analysis to support strategic initiatives including M&A evaluation, market expansion, pricing analysis, and operational efficiency…
