Senior Financial Analyst

Who Is Bare

Bare is Australia's most highly rated end of life business - supporting Australian families through the hardest time in their life.

We are a company dedicated to providing accessible, affordable end-of-life care to change the way that Australians deal with death. Our aim is to change the game in the funeral industry which has long provided expensive, traditional, cookie cutter services that don't always meet the needs of the modern Australian.

By combining empathy with technology, we're creating end-of-life experiences that are simple, personalised and affordable. In only five years, we've served more than 50,000 families, have become Australia's most awarded end-of-life provider (with awards in customer service, innovation and digital disruption), and have built a team of more than 200 people committed to changing the way Australians deal with end-of-life. And we're just getting started.

As part of our continued growth, we’re looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join our finance team.

So, what’s the role?

This is not your typical Senior Financial Analyst role. You’ll work closely with our VP Finance and senior leadership team, helping to drive financial insight and discipline across one of Australia’s fastest growing companies.

You’ll play a key role in financial analysis, reporting, forecasting and business partnering, turning financial data into meaningful insights that support smart commercial decisions.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, ideal for someone who enjoys digging into the numbers, improving processes, and influencing business decisions.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Preparing monthly financial reports, dashboards and P&L analysis, including clear variance commentary
• Owning the budgeting and forecasting processes across multiple entities
• Building and maintaining financial models to support planning and decision-making
• Providing financial insights and analysis to support senior leadership and operational teams
• Partnering with State Leads and department heads to monitor performance and improve margins
• Assisting with reconciliations and financial data accuracy across systems
• Supporting compliance with BAS, PAYGW, FBT and other regulatory requirements
• Assisting with audit preparation and working with external auditors
• Identifying opportunities to improve financial processes and reporting efficiency
• Leading the implementation of automation, AI tools and improved reporting frameworks
• Report to Finance Manager and working closely with senior stakeholders
  
  

What will set you apart from other candidates:

• You’re analytical and commercially minded, able to turn data into meaningful insights
• You enjoy solving problems and improving processes
• You’re comfortable working in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• You’re highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities
• You take ownership and initiative, proactively identifying opportunities for improvement
• You’re curious and interested in leveraging technology and automation in finance
  
  

What you’ll bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or a related field
• CPA, CA or CMA qualification (or working towards) highly regarded
• 5+ years’ experience in financial analysis, reporting
• Strong experience with financial reporting, forecasting and variance analysis
• Advanced Excel / financial modelling skills
• Experience with Xero or similar accounting systems
• Strong communication skills and the ability to present financial insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders
  
  

This isn’t your ordinary finance role, in your ordinary company. You’ll join an entrepreneurial, inclusive culture where we succeed together. We offer autonomy, flexibility and real ownership. No two days are the same — and that’s exactly how we like it.

What's in it for me?

Someone in our end-of-life team recently described their role this way: "This is the most impactful work I've ever done. I feel lucky to be able to help people that truly need support." So, there's that. We've also been named one of the 2026 Top 10 Inspiring Workplaces across Australasia — proof that our people-first culture is more than just talk. #PeopleFirst

In addition, we offer:

• Great opportunities for personal growth, promotion, and career development
• Work-from-home flexibility — with plenty of autonomy and trust
• A friendly, fun, and supportive environment — people genuinely love what they do at Bare
• Competitive remuneration package
• The chance to make an impact at one of the most critical moments in someone's life
  
  

The main reason you'll join, though, is because you believe in what we do and are excited to truly transform an industry.
