Junior FP&A Analyst

Job title : Junior FP&A Analyst
Location : Queensland
Job type : Permanent or Full Time
Job reference : 1746278
We're partnering with a global Australian manufacturer to find a motivated, enthusiastic individual who is seeking a transition into the FP&A realm.

Based in their Brisbane head office, you'll step into a large, complex manufacturing structure. With entry level FP&A roles rare, this is a chance to get FP&A experience inside a genuinely large-scale, multi-division business, not a generic corporate head office role.

If you are a management accountant, or someone looking for broader commercial exposure, have passion for reporting, analytics and AI in finance, then this is worth a look. 

About the Role

You'll join an established FP&A function supporting budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting across the business. It's a hands-on, high-exposure role for someone early in their finance career who wants to learn from experienced analysts while working on real, operationally complex numbers. 

A day in the life:
  • Supporting monthly, quarterly, and annual budgeting and forecasting cycles
  • Assisting with month-end close and consolidations 
  • Building variance analysis with commentary for business leaders
  • Maintaining recurring reports and KPI trackers
  • Helping prepare materials for leadership and management reporting
  • Partnering with stakeholders across divisions to gather inputs and respond to requests
  • Running ad hoc analysis (cost trends, headcount planning)
  • Contributing ideas to improve reporting processes as the business scales
  • Get involved in AI initiatives across the function
About you: 
  • Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
  • 0–2 years' experience in finance, management accounting, or an analytical role
  • Strong Excel skills (pivots, lookups, basic modeling)
  • Sharp attention to detail and comfort with recurring deadlines
  • Good communicator, confident working with non-finance stakeholders
  • Genuine interest in building a long term career in a global business 
Nice to Have:
  • SAP or similar ERP exposure
  • Basic SQL or BI tool experience (Power BI, Tableau)
