Contract: 6 months, with potential for a permanent opportunity

Role Highlights:
An excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior FP&A Analyst to join a growing and evolving finance function on an initial 6-month contract, with the potential to move into a permanent role.

Working closely with the Group FP&A Manager and Commercial Finance team, you will get broad exposure across Board reporting, forecasting, budgeting, financial modelling and executive-level performance reporting.

There is plenty happening across the business, including continued investment in its FP&A capability and the implementation of a new EPM planning and forecasting platform.

Role Overview

Reporting into the Group FP&A Manager, this role sits within a lean Group FP&A team and works closely with the wider Commercial Finance and Finance Business Partnering functions.

The business needs someone who can come in, get across the numbers quickly and add value from the outset. This is a genuine FP&A role rather than a traditional financial accounting position, with a strong focus on forecasting, budgeting, modelling, analysis and Group reporting.

Initially, you will focus on understanding the reporting cycle, systems and business drivers, including monthly flash results, revenue reporting, Board packs and financial performance packs.

From there, you will work closely with the business partnering team across forecasting and budgeting, alongside getting involved in broader FP&A projects and the development of the Group's planning and reporting capability.

• Work closely with Finance Business Partners to understand underlying business performance
• Prepare monthly flash results and financial performance reporting
• Support scenario and sensitivity modelling
• Assist with the implementation and UAT of a new EPM forecasting and budgeting platform
• Identify opportunities to improve and automate existing FP&A processes and reporting

Candidate Profile

• Strong FP&A or commercial finance experience
• Proven experience across budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling and analysis
• Genuine FP&A capability rather than experience predominantly focused on month-end and financial accounting
• Strong Excel and financial modelling skills
• Experience working with planning and reporting systems
• Exposure to Infor, Hyperion or TM1 would translate well into the environment
• Comfortable getting across a new business and its reporting processes quickly
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to understand the commercial story behind the numbers
• Collaborative approach and comfortable working alongside Finance Business Partners
• Can-do attitude and willingness to pick up different priorities as they arise

Culture & Benefits

• Initial 6-month contract with potential to become permanent
• $160k - $170k + Super equivalent
• Western Sydney location
• Broad Group-level FP&A exposure
• Exposure to senior leadership and Board-level reporting
• Hands-on involvement across budgeting, forecasting and modelling
