FP&A Manager (Public Accounting or M&A Exp. Pref.) - Hybrid Description

Our client, a private equity-backed global manufacturer, is seeking a Manager of Financial Planning & Analysis to join their team. This high-impact individual contributor role offers a great opportunity to step into a Manager title with direct access to the CFO and executive team. Ideal for a rising M&A senior consultant from public accounting or advisory, this role blends deal exposure with operational finance. You will work on budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting while supporting M&A due diligence and post-close integration. This role offers an outstanding opportunity to gain hands-on corporate FP&A experience and directly influence strategic decision-making within a high-margin, acquisition-focused business. With hybrid flexibility (3–4 days in-office), significant ownership of high-visibility workstreams, and the ability to help build out FP&A infrastructure, this is a career-defining move for someone looking to transition from consulting into a strategic in-house finance role.
