Job description

FOR 50+ YEARS, CARE HAS BEEN KEPT CLOSE TO HOME. NOW FINANCE IS COMING HOME TOO.

For more than 50 years, this family-owned aged care organisation has built its reputation around something quite simple: care is personal.

Relationships matter. People know each other. And that sense of family remains at the heart of how the organisation operates.

Now, an important part of the business is coming closer to home too.

After around 30 years of outsourced accounting, the organisation is creating its inaugural Finance Manager position – bringing financial leadership in-house at an exciting point in its evolution.

It's yours to establish.

WHAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY?

You’ll take end-to-end ownership of the financial function, working with an established accounts team and closely with the CEO, owners and Board.

There’s plenty happening.

The organisation is transitioning from MYOB to Inerva and preparing for an approximately $40 million development pipeline, including a new 55-bed residential aged care service.

Part-time (4 days a week) will be considered, otherwise this is a full-time opportunity.

You’ll pick up the good groundwork already done, bed down the new system, strengthen processes and become the person people trust to explain not only what the numbers are – but what they’re telling us.

• Monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting
• Budgeting, forecasting and management reporting
• QFR, aged care funding and compliance
• Taxation, financial controls and governance
• Board reporting and presenting financial information
• Audit and external adviser relationships
• Supporting and guiding the existing accounts team
• Financial input into refurbishment and future development.

Technically strong, certainly. But that’s only part of this appointment.

We’re looking for a seasoned aged care finance professional who understands that patience, relationships and communication matter too.

You’re steady, curious and commercially minded. You listen. You dont become frustrated by another question. And you’re happy to get into the detail while also seeing the bigger picture.

You’ll bring:

• CA or CPA qualification
• Aged care financial accounting experience – essential
• 3+ years' strong financial accounting experience
• Taxation knowledge and commercial judgement
• Knowledge of aged care funding, reporting and compliance
• Confidence presenting to and working with senior leaders and Boards
• Strong communication, judgement and attention to detail.
• You may currently be a Finance Manager, Senior Financial Accountant or Financial Accountant ready for greater ownership.

WHY MAKE THE MOVE?

Because you won't be one accountant among many.

You’ll become the organisation's internal financial lead, with the opportunity to establish how the function operates and influence what comes next.

You’ll join a stable, family-owned organisation entering a significant period of growth.

And the practicalities stack up too: $160K + super, hybrid working of approximately three days onsite, flexible core hours and South-West Sydney location.

Because in an organisation where care has always been personal, good financial stewardship is another form of care.

Care for the detail. Care for the future. And care for the people depending on both.

The successful applicant will be required to complete satisfactory reference and compliance checks prior to commencement.
