FP&A Manager

Robert Half Management Resources is seeking a part-time FP& A Manager to support a growth-focused education client based in Los Angeles, California. In this role, you will partner closely with project leadership to build a clear financial picture of a potential school expansion and help inform critical investment decisions. This opportunity calls for a hands-on finance professional who can translate evolving operational concepts into practical forecasts, evaluate multiple business scenarios, and deliver meaningful insights to key stakeholders.

The consultant will build upon an existing pro forma model to develop detailed multi-year financial projections, scenario analyses, and operating assumptions tied to the proposed partnership structure. The ideal consultant will be analytical, curious, and comfortable working with incomplete information, while helping leadership identify the data required to create a rigorous and decision-ready financial model.

Responsibilities:

• Build and enhance multi-year financial forecasts and pro forma models to assess the viability of a proposed early education expansion.

• Examine core business drivers such as enrollment levels, tuition strategy, staffing plans, compensation structure, and day-to-day operating costs.

• Run sensitivity testing and scenario modeling to compare the financial impact of different pricing, staffing, enrollment, and expense assumptions.

• Estimate funding needs by evaluating startup investments, recurring costs, insurance obligations, facilities-related expenses, and shared operational support.

• Partner with the Project Manager and senior leaders to gather inputs, clarify assumptions, and identify missing information needed for accurate analysis.

• Convert qualitative program plans and partnership concepts into structured financial models that support planning and decision-making.

• Compare alternative partnership approaches and outline the short- and long-term financial considerations associated with each option.

• Deliver clear recommendations on financial feasibility, sustainability, and risk based on modeling outputs and strategic analysis.

• Present findings, assumptions, and decision-ready insights to leadership throughout the evaluation process.

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in FP& A, financial analysis, strategic finance, consulting, or a related discipline.

• Proven ability to create sophisticated financial models, long-range forecasts, and pro forma analyses for complex business initiatives.

• Strong background in scenario planning, sensitivity analysis, and business case development.

• Experience identifying operational drivers and translating incomplete or evolving information into reliable financial assumptions.

• Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas and model-building techniques.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional stakeholders and executive leadership.

• Experience supporting nonprofit, education, service-oriented, or membership-based organizations is preferred.

• Demonstrated analytical judgment, curiosity, and a practical approach to solving ambiguous business problems.
