Interim FP&A Manager

We’re seeking an interim FP&A consultant to support a PE-backed food & beverage manufacturer with a focus on KPI reporting, statistical analysis, and product profitability. This is a non-traditional FP&A role: success is driven by building scalable analytics, improving decision-ready dashboards, and turning data into clear actions for operators and leadership. Key Responsibilities • Build and maintain KPI reporting (daily/weekly/monthly) tied to operational and commercial drivers. • Analyze product and customer profitability, including margin bridge and mix/volume/price impacts. • Develop and enhance Excel models that support pricing, promotions, capacity, and SKU rationalization decisions. • Create and maintain Power BI dashboards; improve data quality, definitions, and metric governance. • Partner with operations, supply chain, and sales to translate performance signals into actionable recommendations. • Prepare concise insights for leadership (including PE sponsor-facing materials as needed). Required Qualifications • 5+ years in FP&A, commercial finance, business analytics, or a closely related role (consulting experience welcome). • Advanced Excel skills (financial modeling, Power Query/Power Pivot a plus). • Strong Power BI capability (data modeling, DAX, visualization best practices). • Demonstrated experience with KPI design, metric definitions, and performance reporting. • Hands-on product profitability analysis (standard cost, contribution margin, or similar). • Ability to work independently, manage ambiguity, and communicate insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders. Preferred Qualifications • Experience in food & beverage, manufacturing, CPG, or other high-SKU environments. • Prior work in a PE-backed business and comfort with investor-style reporting. • Understanding of cost accounting and standard costing concepts. • Experience connecting BI reporting to ERP/manufacturing systems and improving source data.
