Senior Financial Analyst (Financial Analyst III)

Oak Brook, IL area (hybrid, in office Tue to Thu) · $95,000 to $115,000 base

A family-owned manufacturer in the western suburbs, about $250M in revenue with 1,000+ employees, is adding a senior analyst to its FP&A team. The company makes engineered products for automotive, off-road and industrial customers, and runs machining, assembly and testing in-house.

The company just went live on a new ERP, and the finance team is building its forecasting and reporting from the ground up.

You will report to the FP&A Manager, who came up through cost accounting, and work every day with plant and operations leaders.

• Partner with plant and operations owners on cost, volume and process questions
• Automate manual reporting and recurring month-end work
• Build Power BI dashboards and reports with IT
• Write reports in the new ERP and work with large data sets

What you bring

• Bachelor’s in accounting, finance, analytics, engineering or related field
• 4+ years in financial analysis, FP&A or cost accounting
• A cost foundation: you understand units, volume and per-unit cost
• Advanced Excel and strong modeling
• Power BI or similar BI tools
• Self-directed: hand you a problem and you dig in

Nice to have
