Reporting to the Manager, Commercial FP&A;, the Financial Analyst will support forecasting, budgeting, performance management, and standardized reporting for the Commercial FP&A; pillar. This role is central to FP&A;'s evolution from a reporting-focused function to one that shapes decisions and provides clarity to the business — with a particular focus on standardizing and automating the financial reports, models, and routines that form the backbone of the planning cycle. The Analyst will spend a meaningful portion of their time rebuilding manual, recurring deliverables into efficient, repeatable processes: streamlining variance analysis, month-end reporting, forecast rollups, and management reporting packages.

This is a high-learning seat for someone early in their career who wants to understand the fundamentals of how a P&L; is planned, measured, and explained — while materially reducing the low-value manual work that holds the team back from insight. Build, maintain, and continuously improve standardized financial reporting — variance analysis, month-end close packages, forecast rollups, and management reporting — with a bias toward automation and repeatability over manual rework Apply advanced Excel skills (complex formulas, Power Query, pivot models, structured references, and lookup/array functions) to replace manual processes with scalable, auditable tools Partner with the Commercial FP&A; team to deliver budgets, forecasts, month-end reporting, product line profitability, SG&A;, and inventory analysis — ensuring a single, trusted version of the truth across deliverables Bring a continuous improvement mindset — identify inefficient processes, challenge how things have always been done, and focus on standardization before automation Develop a deep understanding of the business drivers behind the numbers — how Commercial decisions flow through to revenue, margin, and working capital — and translate that understanding into clearer reporting and analysis Support the broader FP&A; team on ad-hoc analysis, special projects,



and cross-pillar initiatives as required Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline; recent graduate to 1–2 years of relevant experience Actively pursuing (or intending to pursue) a CPA, CFA, or equivalent finance/accounting designation Advanced Excel skills are essential — including complex formulas, Power Query, pivot tables, and a working knowledge of how to design reporting tools that scale; exposure to Power BI, VBA, SQL, or similar is a plus Enterprise thinking — curiosity about how decisions in Commercial, Operations, Pricing, and Procurement connect, even early in your career Ability to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines in a monthly close and planning cadence Working knowledge of accounting fundamentals and financial statement mechanics Join High Liner Foods for a career where you shape your path, backed by great benefits, flexible work, and a culture of diversity, innovation, and sustainability.
