About the Role

Gelmart Industries is seeking a hands-on FP&A professional to support leadership in making informed decisions. You will build forecasts, explain performance changes, and translate financial and operating data into actionable recommendations. This role requires an independent thinker who can connect financial data to business activities, challenge assumptions, and propose solutions. The expectation is proactive identification and communication of risks, variances, and outlook changes to enable timely leadership action. You will assess financial impacts, update forecasts, and recommend responses to issues rather than waiting for month-end reporting. Your analysis will connect sales data with inventory, sourcing costs, freight, duties, tariffs, and retailer deductions to project revenue and margin trends.

Responsibilities

Own the annual budget and recurring forecasts for sales, margin, and expenses, partnering with business leaders to update assumptions.
Build and maintain financial models connecting sales volume, pricing, product mix, inventory, and landed costs to expected results, documenting assumptions and using models for scenario analysis.
Monitor sales, margin, costs, and business activity by customer and program between reporting cycles, flagging material changes early, assessing financial impact, and recommending actions.
Analyze pricing, customer and program profitability, cost changes, and proposed investments to support commercial and operating decisions.
Review and publish the monthly financial package for the VP of Finance, including financial statements, period review, and actual-to-budget comparison.
Provide a forward-looking assessment explaining results' implications for the forecast, emerging risks and opportunities, and recommended actions.
Own weekly EOS scorecard updates for assigned financial measures, validating data, comparing results with targets, and presenting exceptions, emerging risks, and recommended actions.
Identify opportunities to automate recurring data preparation and improve reporting, utilizing AI where applicable, while validating outputs, protecting confidential information, and maintaining financial controls.

Requirements

8+ years of progressive finance experience, including budgeting, forecasting, or FP&A responsibility for a business unit.
Experience in wholesale apparel or another business selling to major national retailers is preferred.
Strong financial modeling skills, including the ability to define assumptions, test calculations, and maintain reliable models.
Ability to interpret a P&L and balance sheet and connect operating activity to financial results.
Experience with inventory, landed costs, duties, tariffs, retailer deductions, or factoring is a plus.
Experience analyzing budget and forecast variances and communicating clear recommendations to business leaders.
Multi-entity or multi-currency reporting is helpful.
Sound commercial judgment and the confidence to challenge assumptions, work independently, and raise concerns early.
Advanced Excel and data analysis skills, with an interest in improving manual processes and using reporting, automation, and AI tools effectively.
Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, NetSuite, or a similar system is preferred.
