Job Title: Finance Analyst

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (hybrid)

Type: Full-time, permanent

About the role:

We're looking for a Finance Analyst to join our dynamic and collaborative team in Kuala Lumpur. This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive, analytical, and communicative finance professional who thrives in a commercial environment and enjoys being part of a close-knit, down-to-earth team.

You'll play a key role in supporting commercial decision-making across our business — partnering with commercial leadership, sales teams, and product management to deliver financial insights, variance analysis, and process improvements that drive performance.

Responsibilities:

• Business Partnering: Work closely with KS commercial leadership, sales teams, and product managers to provide clear financial insights and support commercial decision-making. Confidently present your findings to stakeholders at multiple levels, explaining variances and trends with clarity and impact.
• Financial Analysis & Reporting: Prepare and present monthly reports, highlighting key variances and opportunities. Perform detailed cost centre reviews, investigate anomalies, and ensure timely, accurate financial data.
• Budgeting & Forecasting: Support the annual budgeting and periodic forecasting cycles, helping to create robust plans aligned with business goals.
• Month-End Responsibilities: Manage key month-end tasks including journal postings and balance sheet reconciliations to ensure accurate reporting.
• Process Improvement & Projects: Take initiative in improving tools and processes — for example, streamlining clunky Excel templates or leading mini-projects that enhance efficiency.

To be successful in the role, you will have:

• Experience: 1–2 years in a similar finance role, ideally commercially focussed.
• Skills: Advanced Excel; confident with financial modelling; SAP experience a plus.
• Mindset: Analytical, curious, and self-driven — someone who spots what needs doing and gets it done.
• Communication: Strong presentation and stakeholder management skills, comfortable engaging with multiple seniority levels.
• Qualifications: Part-qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA, or ACA) preferred.
