About The Role ALDI Australia is seeking an Analyst to join its Financial Accounting team in Minchinbury. This is a full-time, permanent position suited to a detail-oriented professional who enjoys investigating data, solving problems and finding ways to improve financial processes.

Working as part of a high-performing, results-driven team, you will analyse inventory data and financial transactions, helping ensure information is accurate, complete and compliant with internal requirements. You will work with colleagues and stakeholders across the business to investigate discrepancies, resolve issues and provide clear financial insights. Your contributions will support reliable reporting and continuous improvement across the organisation.

This role offers the opportunity to develop your accounting and analytical capabilities while helping strengthen the processes that underpin a large, complex retail operation. You will also collaborate with cross-functional teams when new or updated financial processes are introduced.

Qualifications Applicants should have previous experience in business, accounting or a related field, along with a demonstrated ability to work accurately with financial or transactional data.

You should be comfortable adapting to new technologies and systems, and bring curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement. Experience with Inventory Costing (MAP) is highly desirable.

Responsibilities In this role, you will analyse transactional data and investigate variances or irregularities, working to resolve issues in line with internal policies and control requirements. You will liaise with relevant stakeholders to understand discrepancies, agree on appropriate solutions and help ensure matters are addressed in a timely manner.

You will also complete month-end accounting activities, including clearing adjustments and balance sheet reconciliations. The role involves preparing financial reports and ad hoc analyses, identifying opportunities to improve processes, and implementing enhancements that strengthen accuracy and control. In addition, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to support the rollout of new financial processes and contribute to the ongoing effectiveness of the Financial Accounting team.
