About the Role (your why)

The Financial Reporting and Billing Analyst is a hands-on financial analyst responsible for day-to-day cost management, invoice generation and commercial reviews and analysis. You will achieve this by being proactive in identifying opportunities to perform value-added tasks to support the business in achieving its objectives.

Working with our dedicated customer teams, you will be the first point of contact for all financial queries. You will liaise with the finance team and the broader business to ensure a high standard of service is provided for all queries.

Our offices are based in Canberra or Melbourne, we like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/ life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to figure out what works best!

What you’ll bring  

The nature of this role will suit a critical thinker with a high level of initiative, judgment, and integrity. You have an eye for detail, and you enjoy proofreading, analysing, and verifying the accuracy of the information provided to you. While you enjoy working on complex tasks, you also enjoy switching to routine tasks as required.

We are looking for someone who has excellent communication and presentation skills. You will enjoy establishing effective working relationships with both internal and external staff.
