FP&A Manager at Chaos Theory in Australia, New South Wales, AU

We are looking for an FP&A Manager

We are looking for a driven and commercially minded FP&A Manager to help turn financial and operational data into clear insights that support better business decisions. Reporting to the Head of Financial Performance, this newly created role will take ownership of the reporting, forecasting and analysis that help our teams understand performance and deliver against ambitious goals.

You are a self-starter, have a collaborative approach and are comfortable working with colleagues across Finance, Data & Analytics, Product and Marketing in a fast-paced environment. You understand that strong financial planning depends on accurate data, thoughtful analysis and clear communication and presentation.

You bring a solid grounding in financial analysis, spanning management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling and marketing ROI analysis. You enjoy working with data, attention to the details, investigating variances and translating complex information into practical takeaways for stakeholders. You need to be proficient in excel, but you are already embedding AI to develop and enhance your analysis and day-to-day working.

The FP&A function at Chaos Theory is emerging - so under the guidance of the Head of Financial Performance, you will have the opportunity to make it your own, establish best practices and implement reporting procedures and genuinely influence key senior stakeholders in the business. This is an opportunity for you to play an important part of not only the finance team, but the broader company.

To succeed in this role, you'll need:

• At least 7-8 years of experience in financial planning and analysis, commercial finance, investment banking or private equity, management accounting or a closely related analytical role.
• A strong understanding of financial statements, budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis.
• Confidence working with large datasets and building clear, reliable financial models.
• Strong spreadsheet skills and the ability to organise, validate and interpret detailed information accurately.
• Strong AI skills and the ability to use AI to query databases, run theoretical customer pricing scenarios, generate tables and generate presentations.
• A commercial mindset and an interest in understanding the operational drivers behind financial results.
• The ability to turn analysis into concise insights and communicate them clearly to finance and non-finance stakeholders.
• Excellent attention to detail, with the curiosity to investigate unexpected results rather than simply report them.
• Comfort managing recurring reporting tasks and ad hoc analysis in a high-autonomy, fast-moving environment.
• A genuine desire to learn, develop and take on greater responsibility as the Financial Performance function grows.

You will be responsible for:

• Supporting the Head of Financial Performance in building the company's FP&A capability, reporting processes and supporting infrastructure.
• Preparing accurate monthly financial performance reports, dashboards and analysis for leadership and other stakeholders.
• Maintaining reporting schedules and helping ensure that recurring deliverables are completed accurately and on time.
• Comparing actual performance against budgets, forecasts and targets, investigating variances and preparing clear commentary.
• Supporting the annual budgeting process and quarterly re-forecasting through data collection, model updates and stakeholder follow-up.
• Maintaining and improving financial models used for forecasting, scenario planning and decision-making.
• Supporting cross-functional teams on high volume customer incentive and rewards scenarios.
• Partnering with Accounting and Data & Analytics to validate source data, resolve inconsistencies and improve reporting quality.
• Tracking functional KPIs and helping teams understand the financial and operational drivers behind their performance.
• Identifying opportunities to streamline recurring reports and automate manual financial processes.

In exchange, we offer:

• A dynamic, collaborative, fun, yet challenging work environment.
• Attractive salary and benefits.
• Flexible working hours.
• An office located in the heart of Central, Hong Kong.
• A state-of-the-art entertainment floor, including a fully stocked bar and pantry, gaming consoles and a growing library.
• A team of 100+ people globally, representing over 20 countries, we're multicultural and proud of it!
• An onsite company gym and yoga studio with showers, changing rooms and free daily classes.
• Expensed weekly team lunches and regular social events.
• Company events, including Christmas and Summer parties and our much-loved beach BBQs.
