Finance Business Analyst

Incredible Technology, Crafted by Humans ®

Are you a CPA-qualified Finance Business Analyst who thrives on turning data into commercial decisions? Do you enjoy partnering with senior leaders, challenging assumptions, improving processes, and helping a business make smarter decisions through financial insight?

We are looking for a commercially minded finance professional with strong analytical capability with stakeholder management skills.

This role is advertised on a part-time basis, offering flexibility for the right candidate; however, we are also open to considering full-time applicants whose skills and experience align with our needs.

 You'll work across the business to provide meaningful financial insights, drive performance improvements, challenge assumptions and support better decision-making.

Your opportunity

As a Finance Business Analyst, you'll work closely with the CFO, senior leaders, and the broader finance team to deliver reporting, analysis, forecasting and commercial support.

As part of a small, dynamic team, you will be comfortable wearing multiple hats rolling up your sleeves and assisting across a broad range of finance activities where required.

Based in Brisbane, you will:

• Lead and coordinate the outsourced transactional finance team


• Partner with senior stakeholders to provide financial insights that support commercial and operational decisions


• Lead monthly performance reviews, translating results into key drivers, risks, opportunities and actions


• Deliver variance analysis, profitability reporting and clear recommendations to improve business performance


• Perform revenue and expense reconciliations across projects, customers, suppliers and business units


• Prepare and review balance sheet reconciliations, investigate variances and ensure issues are resolved promptly


• Lead budgeting and forecasting processes and work with the CFO and senior leaders to assess assumptions, risks and outlooks


• Develop scenario models and analyse performance against budget, forecast and prior-year results


• Support monthly Board reporting, including financial results, forecasts, KPIs and variance commentary


• Assist with ASX compliance, market disclosures, governance documentation and other corporate reporting activities as required


• Improve reporting processes through automation, Power BI, SQL, AI and other analytical tools
