Responsibilities: Budget Development: - Lead preparation of annual operating and capital budgets. - Consolidate inputs across departments and business units. - Ensure budgets align with company goals and resource constraints. Forecasting: - Maintain rolling forecasts for revenue, expenses, and cash flow. - Update models monthly or quarterly with actuals, adjusting assumptions. - Build scenario and sensitivity analyses to test potential outcomes. Variance Analysis: - Compare actual results to budgets/forecasts. - Prepare written commentary to explain variances and recommend corrective actions. Financial Modeling: - Build dynamic Excel or Google Sheets models (DCF, ROI, IRR, break-even). - Use advanced formulas, macros, or BI tool integrations to improve accuracy. Reporting: - Prepare management reporting packages with dashboards and visualizations. - Present insights to executives, highlighting risks and opportunities. Collaboration: - Partner with department heads to align forecasts with operational plans. - Work with FP&A teams to refine planning assumptions. Process Improvement: - Identify inefficiencies in forecasting workflows. - Implement new FP&A software or improve data integrations (Adaptive Insights, Anaplan, Workday, or equivalent).

What Does a Typical Day Look Like? A Budgeting/Forecasting Specialist’s day revolves around building clarity about the future of the business. You will: - Maintain financial models — updating them with actuals and revising assumptions based on market or internal trends. - Analyze variances — reviewing how actual results differ from plan and preparing written explanations with supporting data. - Support decision-making — running scenario analyses (“what happens if revenue grows 15%?” “what if headcount increases by 20?”) and presenting implications to leadership. - Collaborate across teams — meeting with department managers to validate budget assumptions and ensure spending aligns with strategy. - Deliver reporting — packaging forecasts and analyses into dashboards and executive-ready presentations. - Continuously improve — refining models, implementing forecasting software, and streamlining inputs to shorten cycles. In essence: the role is about ensuring the organization has reliable forward-looking data to guide strategy, supported by strong financial models and clear commentary. Key Metrics for Success (KPIs): - Forecast accuracy within ±5–10%. - Budget completion within agreed timelines. - Variance explanations delivered within 2–3 days of close. - Models updated regularly and free from errors. - Forecasting cycle time is reduced via automation.
