Hi, I’m Natalie Dusome, Founder and CEO of Poppy & Peonies, a fun and energetic brand that believes styles and function should co-exist. We’re passionate about creating practical pieces that help make life a little easier and lighten the load, literally.
Building Poppy & Peonies has been a wild adventure. The journey began when my daughter Poppy was born and my accessories no longer worked with my new life as a mom, I needed bags with pockets and organization that looked cool and had functionality. I couldn’t find it, so I decided to create it, and in 2015 Poppy & Peonies was born.
We’ve come a long way in five years – from filling orders in my basement to appearing on Dragons’ Den, and now, expanding into new product categories and collaborating with some exciting influencers and brands. I’d be lying if I said it’s been nothing but smooth sailing, but thanks to our incredible community, we’ve never felt more loved and supported!
We believe in our responsibility to care for our environment and we are passionate about preserving the health and welfare of our planet, and the animals that live on it. All of our bags are made from high-quality vegan leather, and our entire product line is vegan, cruelty-free, and PETA-approved. We ship our products plastic-free and we use a combination of recycled, compostable, and biodegradable materials to mitigate shipping waste, and we are constantly looking for new ways to make our products and supply chain more sustainable to reduce our carbon footprint.
About the Role
As our FP&A Manager, you turn numbers into insight—and insight into action.
Reporting directly to the VP of Finance, you’ll own financial planning, forecasting, and performance analysis across the business. You’ll partner closely with leaders across Marketing, Operations, and Leadership to help them understand results, plan ahead, and make confident, data-driven decisions as we scale.
Your role is central to keeping Poppy & Peonies growth-ready through clear forecasting, thoughtful scenario modeling, rigorous variance analysis, and storytelling that connects financial outcomes to business strategy. You are a strategic thought partner, not just a numbers expert.
Does this sound like you?
Do you love building models, stress-testing assumptions, and asking “what happens if…?”
Are you energized by turning complex data into clear, compelling insights for leaders?
Do you enjoy partnering cross-functionally to influence decisions—not just report results?
Do you thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities evolve and impact is visible?
Do you want to help shape the financial future of a growing, fashion-forward brand?
If you answered yes to all the above—we’d love to hear from you!
The Opportunity
- Financial Planning, Forecasting & Analysis:
- Own the annual budgeting process and rolling forecasts, partnering with department leaders to align financial plans with strategic goals.
- Build, maintain, and enhance financial models, including scenario analysis, sensitivity modeling, and long-range planning.
- Prepare and deliver monthly performance reporting, including KPIs, variance analysis, and insights on revenue, margin, and spend.
- Translate financial results into clear narratives and recommendations for leadership.
- Support cash flow forecasting and working capital planning in partnership with the VP, Finance.
- Business Partnership & Decision Support:
- Act as a trusted finance partner to Marketing, Operations, and Leadership, helping teams understand financial performance and trade-offs.
- Provide ad hoc analysis to support key initiatives, product launches, pricing decisions, and growth investments.
- Identify trends, risks, and opportunities, proactively flagging insights that impact business performance.
- Reporting & Close Support:
- Partner with the accounting function to ensure accurate, timely data feeds into forecasts and reporting.
- Review month-end results to understand drivers and ensure alignment between actuals and forecasts.
- Process Improvement & Scaling:
- Continuously improve FP&A processes, tools, and reporting cadence as the business grows.
- Help standardize KPIs, dashboards, and forecasting methodologies across teams.
- Contribute to special projects, system enhancements, and strategic initiatives as needed.
What You Bring to the Table
- 4–6+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or strategic finance, ideally within a high-growth, consumer, or e-commerce environment.
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, with advanced Excel/Google Sheets expertise (you love a good model).
- Proven experience owning budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis for multiple departments.
- Ability to synthesize complex financial information into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders.
- A collaborative, business-partner mindset—you’re comfortable influencing without authority.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- Bonus Points: CPA, CFA, or MBA (completed or in progress), experience supporting e-commerce, inventory-based, or multi-channel businesses and/or familiarity with BI tools, dashboards, or planning systems beyond Excel
Don’t sweat it if you don’t have everything listed above. We believe in growth and curiosity. If you have some of these qualities and are excited about this opportunity, then we want to hear from you!
