Senior Financial Analyst

Irvine, CA 92614

Posted: 10/15/2025 Job Titles: FIN - Financial Analyst Job Number: 5607 Pay Rate: 120,000

Job Description

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.
The Opportunity
We’re hiring two Senior Financial Analysts to support:

  1. Commercial FP&A (sales reporting, pricing, promo/mix, SKU-level forecasting), and

  2. 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.

What You’ll Do

  • 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.

What You’ll Bring

  • 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 (NetSuite a plus); familiarity with planning/BI tools (e.g., NetSuite 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.

First 90 Days – What Success Looks Like

  • 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.

Work Setup & Travel

  • On-site in Newport Beach, CA (standard business hours; some variability around close/forecast cycles).

  • Light travel to regional plant sites as needed.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $90,000–$120,000 (DOE)

  • Bonus: 10% target

  • Medical, 401(k) eligibility, and standard benefits package
