Financial Planning and Analysis Analyst

This Financial Planning and Analysis Analyst role at ABB, also based in Bengaluru, is framed somewhat differently from ABB's other FP&A opening despite the similar title, with a specific emphasis on the manufacturing industry context and financial modeling depth. You will collect, analyze, and interpret financial data to support decision-making, updating budgets and forecasting models as business conditions evolve throughout the year. Benchmarking KPIs against industry or internal standards is a core responsibility, giving leadership comparative context rather than only absolute performance numbers. Building financial models directly is emphasized here more than in ABB's other posting, suggesting this role may lean more analytical and less purely reporting-focused.

Candidates need 2-3 years of specific FP&A experience within a manufacturing industry context, ideally holding a CA or CMA qualification, alongside broader 1-6 years of total professional experience. Practical, hands-on SAP FICO and COPA module experience is required, matching ABB's other FP&A posting's baseline expectation. Strong financial modeling skills are emphasized more heavily in this particular opening, so candidates should be prepared to discuss specific models they've built rather than only variance reports they've reviewed. Comfort benchmarking KPIs against industry standards is expected, requiring some external market awareness beyond internal company data alone.
