commercially minded finance analyst to join a growing team.This isn't your traditional finance role.

Byron Bay / Northern Rivers | Hybrid + Remote Flexibility

Great with numbers. Commercially switched on. Keen to do finance a little differently?

We’re a fast-growing wellness brand based in the Byron Bay region, and we’re looking for a sharp, commercially minded Finance Analyst to join our team.

This isn’t your traditional finance role.

You’ll be part of a creative, energetic and fast-moving business where finance sits at the heart of the decisions we make - from what we buy and how we trade, to where we invest and how we grow.

And because we believe great work doesn’t need to happen behind the same desk five days a week, this is a hybrid role with the flexibility to work remotely, balanced with time alongside the team in the Byron Bay / Ballina area.

The Role:

You’ll help turn numbers into decisions.

Working across finance, eCommerce, retail, operations and leadership, you’ll give the business a clear picture of what’s happening, why it’s happening and where the opportunities are.

One day you might be analysing product margins and sell-through. The next, building a forecast, digging into inventory performance or helping leadership understand where we should focus next.

You’ll be responsible for:

- Weekly and monthly sales, margin and performance reporting
- Budgeting, forecasting and cash-flow analysis
- Analysing revenue, gross margin, operating costs and profitability
- Tracking actual performance against budgets and forecasts
- Product, category and channel profitability analysis
- Inventory, stock turn, markdown and sell-through analysis
- Creating clear dashboards and commercial reporting
- Identifying trends, risks and growth opportunities




- Supporting month-end and management reporting
- Partnering with teams across the business to improve commercial decision-making
- Continuously finding smarter ways to improve our financial reporting and processes

Who You Are

You love the detail, but you can also zoom out and see the bigger picture.

You’re naturally curious. If something changes in the numbers, you want to understand why.

You can take a spreadsheet full of information and turn it into something the wider team can actually understand and act on.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

- Experience in financial analysis, commercial finance, management accounting or a similar role
- Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills
- Solid knowledge of P&L;, budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting
- Strong commercial and analytical thinking
- Excellent attention to detail
- Confidence communicating financial information to non-finance teams
- The ability to move quickly and juggle priorities without losing your cool
- Experience in fashion, retail, eCommerce or consumer brands would be a big advantage
- Experience with BI, ERP or inventory platforms is highly regarded

CA/CPA qualifications are welcomed, but we’re equally interested in your experience, commercial instincts and how you think.

The Valuable Stuff You’ll be joining an ambitious fashion brand in one of Australia’s most creative and beautiful regions.

We work hard, move quickly and care deeply about what we’re building - but we also believe work should fit into a great life.

Expect hybrid working, remote flexibility, a creative team, plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to have a genuine impact on a growing brand.

No grey suits required.

Just great thinking, good energy and a serious love of numbers.
