Our client is a dynamic global business with operations across the US, Europe, and Australia. With a local headquarters in Byron Bay, they are scaling rapidly and evolving their financial and data systems to support continued growth.

They are seeking a Business & Financial Analyst to join their lean but high-impact finance team. This role will suit someone who thrives in the messy middle of transformation: where fragmented systems, global reporting requirements, and rapid change demand both resilience and creativity.

Why This Role is Unique

• Analytics first: You’ll wrangle complex data sets (sales, manufacturing, procurement, margins) and translate them into insights that drive decision-making across finance, operations, and global stakeholders.
• Global exposure: Reporting locally into the Finance Controller but working across a multi-billion-dollar parent group, you’ll deliver insights that matter to teams in the US, Europe, and Australia.
• Greenfield environment: With ERP implementation on the horizon, you’ll help build scalable reporting and analytics foundations from the ground up.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Data Analytics & Insights: Cleanse, interpret, and connect fragmented data sources (Salesforce, Shopify, Unleashed, Xero, Phocas) to provide meaningful, actionable insights.
• Sales & Margin Analysis: Identify where the business makes (or loses) money — drilling into product mix, partner discounts, regional sales performance, and cost drivers.
• Business Partnering: Support MDs across regions with customised analytics, forecasts, and dashboards that answer the “what, why, and what next.”
• Financial Reporting & Compliance: Contribute to month-end reporting, group compliance, and parent pack submissions — balancing the “fun stuff” of forecasting and analytics with core financial timelines.
• Process Improvement: Champion smarter use of systems, automate manual processes, and help bridge today’s fragmented data environment with tomorrow’s ERP-ready future.

What We’re Looking For

• Data-savvy finance professional — likely with a background in accounting, but a stronger passion for analytics, modelling, and turning raw data into stories.
• Advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills (building models, formulations, automation).
• Exposure to manufacturing, e-commerce, or wholesale environments and an understanding of cost of goods, production, and procurement drivers.
• A self-starter with entrepreneurial energy — someone who thrives in change, solves problems proactively, and doesn’t wait for perfect systems.

What You’ll Get

• A seat at the table in a fast-scaling global business.
• The chance to design and influence data analytics foundations that will scale into ERP.
• A Byron Bay–based role, working closely with a small but highly capable team.
