We are looking for a highly motivated Financial Planning and Analysis Manager located in Fairfax, VA that can operate in a fast‑paced and demanding environment of a micro‑cap publicly‑traded company.

The Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) Manager will lead forecasting, budgeting, and reporting activities, and will analyze financial performance to support strategic decision‑making and improve operational efficiency across the organization. The FP&A Manager will develop and maintain financial models, prepare detailed performance reports, and present insights and recommendations to leadership to inform strategic and operational initiatives.

• Develop forward‑looking financial forecasts by leveraging historical trends, market data, and internal business intelligence; support scenario planning to ensure alignment with the company's long‑term strategic goals.
• Lead the company‑wide budgeting process by coordinating with department leaders to develop, consolidate, and maintain accurate annual and rolling budgets; ensure timely updates and consistency with strategic and financial objectives.
• Design, implement, and monitor financial and operational performance metrics; build dashboards and reporting tools that enhance visibility, accountability, and alignment with organizational objectives.
• Develop and maintain comprehensive financial models, including income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets; prepare and deliver monthly consolidated financial reporting packages.
• Perform detailed variance analyses comparing actual results to budgets, forecasts, and prior periods; identify key performance drivers and communicate findings and recommendations to management.
• Act as a strategic advisor to cross‑functional teams by translating complex financial data into clear, actionable insights for non‑financial stakeholders.
• Identify, develop, and implement process improvements and automation tools to streamline finance and accounting operations, enhance efficiency, and improve accuracy across recurring workflows.
• Drive continuous improvement in financial planning and reporting processes, including the use of automation and data quality enhancements to reduce manual effort and increase scalability.
• Support special projects within the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) function and prepare ad hoc reports and analyses to address evolving business needs and leadership requests.

• Bachelor's degree or higher; a degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field is preferred.
• Five (5) to ten (10) years of progressive experience in financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance metric development.

• Experience working with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and data extraction tools.
• Familiarity with government contracting is preferred but not required.

While the FP&A Manager primarily works independently on recurring and ad hoc financial projects, this role also involves coordinating and directing input from other members of the finance team. The analyst will provide guidance, feedback, and oversight to ensure accurate, timely, and high‑quality contributions from those assisting with financial analysis and reporting activities.

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
