Recurring activities
Daily activities are providing insight on bookings, shipments, rebates, margins, and outlook for the month. The standard tasks are mostly automated, but the dynamic nature of Fluke always poses changes and room for continuous improvement. Being part of our FP&A team, you will support our stakeholders with accurate analysis that helps in decision-making.
On a monthly basis, the team is focused on forecasting bookings, shipments, and margins, but also explaining the variances of the previous month and how they will impact the (near) future. Once everyone is aligned on the forecast, a very important task will be to load the data into our financial system.
Yearly, we work on some extensive projects, like the Plan for the upcoming year, rebate payouts, thorough margin analysis, and price adjustments.
There will also be opportunities to work on interesting and challenging projects e.g. creating new standard work (new processes) or producing interactive dashboards for current standard tasks.
Based on the above-mentioned recurring and ad hoc activities, we support to the business (therewith solving problems and answering queries), challenge ‘facts’, and seek opportunities to increase our sales and margin. A strong business understanding is key to grow in your role and to grow within the company.
