Director of FP&A

At Far Niente Wine Estates, we believe exceptional brands are built through thoughtful strategy, operational excellence, and a relentless pursuit of quality.
We are seeking a highly analytical, business-minded, and proactive Director of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) to lead our financial planning function and help shape the future of our growing portfolio of luxury wine brands.

This is more than a traditional finance role. We are looking for a strategic business partner who can connect financial insight to operational action—someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and can influence decisions across sales, operations, supply chain, production, and executive leadership.

The Director of FP&A will play a critical role in driving company performance through rigorous forecasting, strategic analysis, and actionable recommendations that improve
profitability, efficiency, and long-term growth.

What You’ll Do

Lead Enterprise Financial Planning

•  Own the company’s Annual Operating Plan (AOP) process from start to finish, including budgeting timelines, cross-functional coordination, three-statement modeling, and executive/board presentations.
•  Develop and maintain rolling forecasts for revenue, EBITDA, cash flow, and balance sheet performance, ensuring leadership has timely visibility into risks and opportunities.
•  Prepare monthly operating reports with clear analysis of actual vs. budget and prior year performance, highlighting key business drivers and trends.

Drive Strategic Business Insights

•  Partner directly with channel leaders across Wholesale, DTC, International, Wine Club, E-Commerce, and Hospitality to improve forecasting accuracy and drive profitable growth.
•  Identify opportunities for margin expansion, pricing optimization, mix improvement, operational efficiency, and cost savings—and help lead initiatives through execution.
•  Serve as a proactive analytical partner to cross-functional teams by surfacing trends, challenging assumptions, and recommending data-driven solutions.

Support Operational & Supply Chain Planning

•  Collaborate closely with Supply Chain, Production, and Vineyard Operations to support S&OP and demand planning processes.
•  Align financial forecasts with production realities, inventory management, grape procurement, and margin objectives.
•  Provide detailed analysis and reporting related to COGS, vintage dynamics, production costs, SG&A, and overhead spending.

Lead Strategic & Capital Initiatives

•  Evaluate capital investments and strategic initiatives through robust business cases, ROI analysis, sensitivity modeling, and payback assessments.
•  Support quarterly board materials, lender reporting, M&A evaluations, and ad hoc strategic projects.
•  Partner closely with the Director of Strategic Initiatives to evaluate and execute growth opportunities.

Build Scalable Financial Infrastructure

•  Continuously improve financial systems, reporting tools, and data visibility across the organization.
•  Help advance automation and self-service reporting capabilities using platforms such as Power BI, Adaptive Planning, ERP systems, and other business intelligence tools.
•  Mentor and develop a high-performing FP&A team with strong analytical and business partnership capabilities.
