Senior Financial Analyst
ASC Engineered Solutions is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst, a highimpact, operationsfocused role supporting financial excellence across our Columbia, PA, manufacturing operations.
If you're a driven finance professional with a passion for operational performance, cost analytics, and datadriven decisionmaking, this is your opportunity to influence the future of a dynamic, evolving business. As a key financial partner to plant leadership, you’ll go beyond reporting, you’ll shape decisions, improve performance, and unlock value across the plant. Your insights will directly support profitability, operational agility, and longterm growth.
Join a company that values innovation, accountability, and operational excellence. At ASC Engineered Solutions, your impact will be felt on the shop floor, in leadership discussions, and across the enterprise.
How You Will Help:
Drive Plant-Level Financial & Operational Performance
- Own forecasting, budgeting, and monthly close support for the Columbia manufacturing site, with a strong focus on cost, productivity, and throughput.
- Build and maintain Power BI dashboards that connect financial results with operational drivers (labor hours, scrap, downtime, yields, inventory turns).
- Partner directly with operations leaders to turn real-time and automated insights into specific actions that improve margin, efficiency, and working capital.
- Analyze labor efficiency, overhead absorption, material usage, and conversion cost using data-driven and, where applicable, predictive techniques.
- Support capital investments, make-vs-buy decisions, and continuous improvement initiatives through practical scenario modeling and AI-assisted analysis.
Strengthen Cost Accounting & Financial Integrity
- Support standard cost development, cost rollups, and annual updates with a clear understanding of routing, BOMs, labor standards, and overhead drivers.
- Investigate and explain purchase price, usage, labor, and overhead variances — clearly separating operating issues from accounting noise.
- Improve inventory accuracy and visibility through cycle count analysis, reserves, and data-enabled variance tracking.
- Ensure compliance with corporate policies while continuously improving the speed, accuracy, and automation of plant financial reporting.
Be a True Operating Partner
- Act as the finance partner to plant leadership — not just reporting results, but challenging assumptions and shaping decisions.
- Deliver clear, operator-level insights through dashboards and visuals that resonate on the shop floor as well as in leadership reviews.
- Support lean, productivity, and continuous improvement initiatives with financial rigor grounded in real operational drivers.
What You Will Bring:
- 5+ years of manufacturing finance experience with strong exposure to standard costing and plant operations.
- Working knowledge of labor efficiency, scrap, downtime, absorption, and inventory mechanics.
- Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; ERP experience (SAP, Oracle, M3 preferred).
- Hands-on experience with Power BI (or similar tools) — building dashboards that link operational KPIs to financial outcomes.
- Comfort using emerging AI tools to accelerate analysis, forecasting, variance detection, or scenario modeling.
- Ability to explain complex financial results to non-financial, operations-focused audiences.
