Senior Financial Analyst

Alliance Resource Group is partnered with a fast‑growing, PE‑backed consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturer to find two financial analysts. The organization is scaling nationally and modernizing its finance tech stack. The team is high‑energy, collaborative, and focused on data‑driven decisions across commercial and plant operations.

We are hiring two Senior Financial Analysts to support:

• Commercial FP&A – sales reporting, pricing, promo/mix, SKU‑level forecasting
• Cost/Operations FP&A – COGS analysis, plant/operations support, capital projects

Both roles report into FP&A leadership and are based on‑site in Newport Beach.

• Own portions of the annual plan, quarterly forecasts, and monthly outlooks.
• Build and maintain dynamic financial models (SKU, revenue, margin, and/or COGS).
• Deliver variance analysis (actuals vs. budget/forecast/prior year) with clear drivers and insights that influence decisions.
• Produce recurring dashboards and ad‑hoc analyses for leadership; tell the financial “story” concisely.
• Partner cross‑functionally with Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, Plant Ops, and Accounting to align plans with business priorities.
• Support monthly close (actuals tie‑out) and KPI reporting; help improve processes and controls.
• Contribute to pricing analytics, product/channel mix, and/or cost optimization initiatives.
• Assist with capital planning (business cases, ROI modeling) and special projects.

• 2–6+ years in FP&A/Finance or Business/Data Analytics (CPG/food & bev/manufacturing/retail strongly preferred).
• Strong Excel modeling (lookups, pivots, scenarios; comfort with large data sets).
• Experience with an ERP (Net Suite a plus); familiarity with planning/BI tools (e.g., Net Suite Planning, Hyperion, Power BI, Tableau) is helpful.
• Sharp business acumen: unit economics, margin drivers, pricing/promo, and/or manufacturing cost drivers.
• Clear communicator who can translate complex analyses for non‑finance partners.
• High urgency, resilience, and comfort operating in a fast‑moving, change‑heavy environment.
• Bonus: exposure to PE‑backed settings and systems/process transformation.

• Ramp on data sources (ERP, data mart) and begin running reports with minimal oversight.
• Establish credibility with Sales/Commercial and/or Plant Ops partners by delivering timely, accurate analyses.
• Identify early process efficiencies; contribute to standardizing reporting and dashboards.

• On‑site in Newport Beach, CA (standard business hours; some variability around close/forecast cycles).
• Light travel to regional plant sites as needed.

• Base Salary: $90,000–$120,000 (DOE)
• Bonus: 10% target
• Medical, 401(k) eligibility, and standard benefits package
