THE ROLE We're after a Financial Operations Analyst to be the engine room of our day-to-day finance operations, covering customer accounts, supplier payments, and employee expenses. You'll be the go-to person the wider business turns to when they need something sorted, fast and right. This is a cross-functional role by design. You'll work closely with Sales, Customer, People and teams right across Halter, not just Finance. If you like variety, own outcomes, and want your work to actually move the needle, this is for you. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Customers: Support accounts receivable process: invoicing, collections, and resolving billing queries quickly and professionally, protecting the customer relationship every step of the way. - Suppliers: Support our Financial Accountant on accounts payable: processing invoices, supplier onboarding, reconciling accounts, and being a reliable point of contact for our suppliers. - Employees: Manage the employee expense process: reviewing claims, reconciling corporate cards, employee reimbursements and keeping a high standard on details required without slowing the business down. - Cross-functional support: Be the first port of call for finance questions from teams across Halter: clear, fast, and helpful, every time. - Process improvement: Spot the gaps, fix the clunky stuff, and build better ways of working. We want someone who improves the system, not just runs it. - Month-end: Support close activities related to AR, AP and expenses, keeping our financial records accurate and audit-ready. WHAT YOU'LL BRING - Experience in an accounts, finance operations, or accounts administration role, ideally across AP, AR or expenses. Sharp, numbers-hungry graduates who are keen to learn fast are welcome too. - Sharp attention to detail. You notice the things others miss, and you chase them down until they're resolved. - A genuine bias for action. You see a problem, you fix it. You don't wait to be told. - Comfortable operating at pace, with ambiguity, and without a playbook for everything. - Strong communication skills: confident chasing payments, questioning a number, or pushing back, whoever you're talking to. - A customer-first mindset, and pride in doing things properly, not just quickly. - Most of all: you're keen. You want to roll your sleeves up and build something exceptional, not just show up for the job title. WHY JOIN US Real ownership from day one, with visibility across the whole business, not just Finance. A seat on a team that's here to win, moves at max velocity, and backs each other to get there. The chance to shape how finance operations work as Halter scales fast, across NZ, Australia and the US.
