About the Company

ParagonCare Group is a leading diversified healthcare distributor and manufacturer across the Asia–Pacific region, with a proud heritage spanning more than 100 years. Following the transformational merger of Clifford Hallam and ParagonCare in 2024, the Group has emerged as a scaled, ASX-listed healthcare leader with approximately $3.6bn in FY25 revenue.

This role offers the opportunity to step into a high-visibility leadership position within a growing, ASX-listed healthcare organisation, where finance plays a central role in strategy, integration and performance. You’ll work closely with an experienced executive team and help shape the future finance capability of the Group.

The Opportunity

This is a senior leadership role for an accomplished finance professional who thrives in complex, fast-paced and acquisitive environments.

The Group Finance Manager will take ownership of group accounting, statutory and management reporting, and balance sheet governance across ANZ operations. You will lead a capable finance team, partner closely with senior stakeholders, and play a critical role in strengthening reporting excellence, controls and scalability befitting a leading ASX-listed organisation.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead group accounting and month-end close processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting
  • Oversee half-year and full-year statutory reporting for the listed entity, including audit and Audit & Risk Committee requirements
  • Act as custodian of the Group general ledger, balance sheet governance and financial controls
  • Provide technical accounting leadership, including complex accounting matters, position papers and acquisition support
  • Partner with Corporate Finance, Tax and business leaders on budgeting, forecasting and financial insights
  • Support tax compliance through high-quality data and collaboration with internal and external advisors
  • Drive continuous improvement across finance processes, systems and controls
  • Lead, develop and mentor a high-performing team of financial and commercial accountants
About You
  • CA or CPA qualified, with a degree in Accounting, Commerce or Finance
  • Strong background in group accounting and financial reporting within complex, multi-entity environments
  • Proven experience preparing statutory accounts for an ASX-listed organisation
  • Deep technical accounting expertise combined with strong commercial judgement
  • Demonstrated people leadership experience and ability to build high-performing teams
  • Experience supporting acquisitive growth and post-merger integration
  • Exposure to ERP or large-scale finance system implementations
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders
Healthcare, distribution or similarly complex operational experience will be highly regarded, but not essential.
