Support inventory forecasting, coordination of physical inventories, and overhead cost allocation processes.
Analyze product costs to support management decision-making on pricing, margin improvement, and scrap disposition.
Aid in the development and maintenance of annual budgets, quarterly forecasts, and long-range financial plans, including revenue, expense, and cash flow projections.
Build and maintain financial models to support scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and strategic decision-making.
Identify opportunities to streamline FP&A processes and improve data consistency across systems.
Develop standardized reporting templates and ensure consistent use of key financial metrics.
Support continuous improvement initiatives related to data governance and financial system automation.
Possess strong technical and analytical skills with a solid cost accounting background.
