Finance Manager - FP&A

Milestone Funeral Partners is seeking a proactive and analytically minded Finance Manager – FP&A to lead financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial integration activities across our growing portfolio. This is an opportunity to work directly with our Chief Financial Officer, take ownership of critical financial processes, and help strengthen the systems and reporting capabilities that support our continued growth through acquisition and partnership.

About the Role

The Finance Manager – FP&A will lead financial planning and analysis while coordinating the financial integration of newly acquired funeral homes. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, you'll take ownership of monthly reporting, variance analysis, key performance indicators (KPIs), budgeting, and forecasting while supporting acquisitions from pre-close planning through post-close integration.

Working closely with Finance, Accounting, M&A, Integration, and Operations, you'll help standardize reporting across locations, strengthen financial systems and processes, and provide actionable insights to support business decisions. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role offering meaningful ownership, executive visibility, and the opportunity to help build scalable financial capabilities as Milestone grows.

This is a primarily remote position, with a preference for candidates in the Greater Portland, Maine area. Remote candidates throughout New England will be considered, with periodic onsite presence in Lewiston/Auburn and limited acquisition-related travel required.

What You'll Do

Financial Planning & Analysis

The Finance Manager will own reporting, analysis and special projects across a growing, acquisitive business.

• Own monthly reporting and variance analysis, including budget-to-actual results and the drivers behind them
• Shape how leadership sees performance across 110+ locations through KPI and NSPB budget and forecast reporting
• Lead ad hoc analysis and special projects for the CFO, including board materials, lender requests and acquisition decisions
• Coordinate the annual budget and rolling forecasts with operating leadership
• Build and maintain financial models supporting forecasting and management decisions
• Review recurring financial reporting and take ownership of selected reports over time
• Build strong finance-side proficiency in NetSuite and NSPB
• Support our in flight reporting transition to a scalable, system-based process
• Standardize reporting across acquired locations, partnering with accounting and outside consultants

Acquisition Financial Integration

The Finance Manager will be the finance lead for each acquisition, from pre-close through the first full budget cycle, coordinating with our full time integration team. Maintain and execute a standard finance integration checklist with defined owners, deadlines, deliverables and escalation procedures. The finance manager will not be responsible for technical accounting or general ledger activity.

• Run the finance integration checklist, coordinating the M&A team, Integration Director, accounting team and acquired businesses
• Onboard historical financials and set up reporting structures, GL mappings, banking and payroll
• Bring acquired entities into NetSuite and the monthly reporting and budgeting cadence
• Hold acquisitions accountable to their investment thesis by tracking revenue, EBITDA, synergies and add-backs against underwriting, and translate underwriting into post-close budgets

What You'll Bring

Required

• 5–10 years of finance and accounting experience, including meaningful FP&A responsibility
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, with strong budgeting, forecasting and management reporting experience
• Working knowledge of general ledger structures, financial statements and the month-end close
• Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional projects to completion with minimal supervision
• Clear, professional communication with finance leadership, operating leaders and business owners

Preferred

• Experience with NetSuite and/or planning software (NSPB, Adaptive, Anaplan or similar)
• Experience with acquisition integration, multi-entity reporting or high-growth businesses
• Background in a private equity-backed, acquisitive or multi-location company

This is a manager-level individual contributor position; prior people-management experience is not required, and a strong Senior Financial Analyst prepared for broader ownership will be considered.
