• Build and maintain our core financial model, with scenario and sensitivity analysis for volume shifts, price movement, cost inflation, and market disruption
• Own monthly P&L analysis and variance against budget and forecast, explaining the drivers — price, volume, mix, material, labor efficiency, equipment utilization, quality, freight, and overhead — rather than restating them
