Developer & Data Analyst
Job Description

About the role

We're looking for a technically strong Developer & Data Analyst who can turn our business data into clear, useful insight, automate the repetitive work that slows us down — and also own our day-to-day bookkeeping. This is a hands-on, build-things role: you'll write the automations, wrangle the data, maintain the reporting, and keep our financial records accurate and current. You'll work closely with [the owner / leadership / the operations team] and have visibility across the whole business.

It suits someone who likes building and problem-solving as much as working with numbers — automating a tedious process, cleaning a messy dataset, and explaining what the results mean to people who aren't technical.

What you'll do

Data & analysis

  • Pull, clean, and organise data from across the business (finance, sales, operations, marketing)
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reports that track our key metrics
  • Answer business questions with data — e.g. what's driving cost, revenue, or churn
  • Identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities, and present them clearly
  • Support decisions with well-reasoned analysis, not just charts

Automation & development

  • Automate repetitive finance and reporting tasks — recurring reports, data pulls, reconciliation prep, invoice reminders
  • Build and maintain scripts, spreadsheet automations, and templates that cut manual data entry
  • Connect the tools we already use so data flows between them with less hand-holding (built-in integrations, APIs, or no-code tools like Zapier/Make)
  • Document what you automate and monitor it so failures get caught early
  • Spot manual processes that are eating time and propose sensible ways to streamline them

Bookkeeping & accounting

  • Record and categorise daily transactions, keeping the books accurate and current
  • Perform monthly bank and account reconciliations
  • Manage accounts payable and receivable, including invoicing and chasing payments
  • Maintain the chart of accounts and keep records audit-ready
  • Prepare monthly financial summaries (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet basics)
  • Coordinate with our external accountant/CPA at tax time and hand over clean records
  • Track expenses, flag anomalies, and help with budgeting

What we're looking for

Required

  • Strong technical skills in software engineering / IT — comfortable scripting and building automations
  • Comfort working with data: cleaning messy datasets, choosing sensible comparisons, explaining findings
  • Advanced spreadsheet skills (Excel/Google Sheets — pivot tables, lookups, clean modelling)
  • A degree in Computer Science, Data Analytics, Information Systems, or a related field — or equivalent proven experience
  • Solid working knowledge of accounting software, plus the bookkeeping fundamentals to keep our books accurate (hands-on experience or a Finance/Accounting background)
  • High attention to detail and a habit of double-checking your own work
  • Ability to communicate technical and financial insights to non-technical people

Nice to have

  • SQL or a data tool (Python, Power BI, Tableau, Looker, etc.)
  • Experience automating workflows with no-code tools (Zapier, Make) or light scripting
  • A relevant credential in Data Analytics, Information Systems, or Accounting/Finance
  • Experience working in a small-business or startup environment

What success looks like

  • Manual, repetitive tasks shrink over time as you automate them
  • Recurring questions get answered with reliable data instead of guesswork
  • Leadership can trust the numbers and the reporting
  • The books are always accurate and reconciled on time
  • You proactively surface things we should know about — risks, savings, and opportunities
