A little bit about us

Hello, we’re Mustard and we make colourful furniture designed to bring joy to everyday spaces. We’re a growing, design-led brand selling direct to customers around the world, alongside an expanding B2B channel.

We’re still growing, and with that growth comes more complexity. Our Finance team plays an important role in helping us understand how the business is performing, make confident decisions and build the systems and processes we need for what comes next.

We’re looking for a Management Accountant to join our Newcastle team and help us do exactly that.

The Role

This is a hands-on Management Accountant role sitting at the heart of Mustard’s Finance team.

You’ll oversee our monthly management accounting cycle, bringing together financial information across two legal entities,



multiple regions and multiple currencies to give the business a clear and reliable view of performance.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Finance and Finance + Operations Analyst, taking responsibility for the quality of our month-end reporting while helping improve forecasting, financial analysis, controls and the way our Finance function works.

This role will suit someone who enjoys the technical side of accounting but also wants to understand the business behind the numbers. You’ll be joining at a point where there is plenty already in place, but lots of opportunity to make things simpler, clearer and better.

What’s in it for you?

? The chance to be part of a team in a company that’s scaling fast
? Work on exciting projects that directly impact customers around the world
? Collaborate with passionate teams who love what they do
? Be part of a growing business where your ideas can shape how we do things

What you’ll be doing

- Consolidated reporting:



Bring together financial results across our Australian and UK entities, ensuring multiple currencies are accurately reflected and giving the business a clear consolidated view of performance.

- Management reporting: Prepare transparent and meaningful monthly management accounts and reporting that help the Leadership Team understand what is happening in the business and why.

- Variance analysis: Analyse performance against budget, forecast and prior periods, identifying meaningful movements and providing useful financial commentary.

Financial analysis + planning

- Financial analysis: Analyse performance across regions, channels, products and other relevant areas to identify trends, risks and opportunities.

- Budgeting + forecasting: Support the budgeting and forecasting process, reviewing assumptions, preparing financial information and helping improve forecasting accuracy over time.

- Profitability: Improve visibility of profitability across the business, helping us better understand where we make money and what is driving changes in performance.

- Commercial support: Provide financial analysis for business cases, investments and other commercial decisions, helping teams make informed choices.
