Senior Financial Planning Analyst

We’re hipages, Australia’s #1 digital platform connecting homeowners with trusted tradies. As an ASX-listed tech company, we're on a mission to transform the trade industry and improve lives.

With teams across Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Vietnam, we work as one team with a shared purpose.

We’re proud to be a certified Great Place to Work and WORK180’s #1 Employer for Women. At hipages, you’ll find real impact, career growth and a workplace where everyone belongs.

About the role:

This role owns the day-to-day running of hipages' FP&A function, taking accountability for how the Group monitors, models and reports its commercial performance. The Senior FP&A Analyst is the custodian of hipages Group's financial model, driving accurate budgeting and forecasting grounded in well-supported commercial assumptions and prioritised strategic initiatives, and delivering the regular, insightful reporting the Senior Leadership Team and Board rely on.

Beyond the core FP&A remit, the role carries two additional dimensions: providing analytical and modelling support to the VP Commercial & Strategy on M&A engagements as they arise, and leading the dashboarding and automation of FP&A deliverables to lift the speed, consistency and quality of the function's output.

This is a hands-on yet ownership-oriented role in a fast-paced, publicly listed Australian tech company. It would best suit a commercially minded finance professional ready to step up from a support capacity into a role with real autonomy, breadth and impact.

Why join our finance team?

• Hybrid working model 


• Competitive salary, benefits and perks, plus equity via our Employee Share Program


• In-house Talent Development team to support your personal and career growth


• Achieve results in an agile team, flat organisational structure


• 1️⃣ One team culture with our teams in Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

How you will add value:

FP&A ownership

M&A support

• Support the VP Commercial & Strategy on M&A and corporate development engagements as they arise — including financial modelling, valuation support, due diligence analysis and inputs into Board papers.


• Help structure and pressure-test deal assumptions, synergies and scenarios with the same rigour applied to the core financial model.

Dashboarding & Automation

• Design, build and maintain dashboards that make FP&A insights more accessible, timely and self-serve for the Senior Leadership Team and functional leaders.


• Drive the automation of recurring FP&A deliverables and analysis, reducing manual effort and improving reliability, in close collaboration with the Finance and Data teams.

We’re proud to be endorsed by WORK180 for supporting women’s careers and we value diversity across culture, age, gender identity and sexual orientation.

Research shows that men often apply when they meet just 60% of the criteria, while women and minority groups wait until they tick every box. If you think you’d be a great fit - even if you don’t meet every requirement- we’d love to hear from you.
