Interim FP&A Manager
E78 Talent, Gonzales, TX, United States
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.
