This opportunity will appeal to a senior finance leader who combines deep technical capability with practical leadership, and who understands the responsibility that comes with managing public trust in a highly regulated, purpose-led environment. 

Role: 
As General Manager – Financial Control, you will act as a key advisor to the CFO, executive leadership, operations teams, and the audit & risk committee.

• Providing authoritative technical accounting advice across complex matters such as M&A, leasing, and ESG / sustainability reporting
• Maintaining robust governance documentation and financial process controls across all material activities
• Overseeing treasury operations, including cash flow management, liquidity compliance, banking covenants, and prudential requirements
• Ensuring compliance with aged care prudential standards

This is a role that balances technical excellence, regulatory leadership, and commercial pragmatism.

Candidate:
You will be a credible, values-aligned finance leader with:

• CA or CPA qualification (mandatory)
• A bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
• Demonstrated senior experience in financial control, statutory reporting, and governance within aged care or a similarly regulated environment
• Background in audit and strong technical accounting capability
• Proven experience leading payroll, billing, or transactional finance teams at scale
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence executives, operations, and governance committees
• A continuous improvement mindset, with the ability to lead change in complex environments
