  • Build and maintain integrated three-statement forecasting models, including EPS, cash flow, and the five-year strategic plan
  • Lead the enhancement and refinement of dealership-level budget and forecasting models that roll up into consolidated company-level outputs, partnering with operational teams to improve accuracy and usability
  • Own the analytical work supporting capital allocation decisions across M&A, dealership investment, share repurchases, dividends, and debt management
  • Develop peer benchmarking and competitive analysis that translates industry trends into strategic insights for senior leadership
  • Produce executive-quality modeling and board-facing deliverables across recurring quarterly cycles and ad hoc strategic projects
  • Drive continuous improvement in modeling accuracy, scenario planning, forecasting processes, and presentation quality
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; CFA, CPA, or MBA a plus
  • 2+ years of investment banking, transaction advisory, corporate development, strategic finance, or highly analytical FP&A experience with demonstrated modeling depth; investment banking, transaction advisory, or corporate development backgrounds strongly preferred
  • Strong technical modeling skills, including integrated three-statement modeling, DCF, accretion/dilution, capital structure analysis, pro forma modeling, and sensitivity analysis
  • Strong command of financial statements, valuation methodologies, business drivers, and capital structure
  • Clear communicator able to translate complex modeling work into actionable insights for executive audiences
  • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint required; Oracle HFM, Essbase, ERP, or EPM Planning a plus
