What Does a FP&A Manager Do?

Managing the annual budget and quarterly forecast processes, overseeing financial modelling and variance analysis, developing management reporting infrastructure, partnering with business unit leaders on financial planning, managing and developing FP&A analysts, and presenting financial results to executive leadership.

What We Screen For

5–9 years of FP&A experience with demonstrated progression, people management experience, advanced financial modelling skills, and strong executive communication ability. MBA or CFA is valued but not required. Experience with FP&A platforms and BI tools is increasingly expected.

💡 Hiring Insight

The best FP&A managers are equally comfortable with a spreadsheet and a boardroom — they can build the model and explain what it means to a non-financial audience. Reference checks should specifically cover communication with executive stakeholders.

Typical Compensation
$100,000 – $150,000
PE-backed, pre-IPO, and public company FP&A managers command the top of this range.
