Finance Manager

Finance Manager | Clear Pathway to Financial Controller | Gold Coast

Aged Care Decisions is looking for a CA/CPA-qualified Finance Manager to take ownership of financial control, FP&A and business intelligence as we continue to grow. This is not a back-office or transactional accounting role — we need someone with strong operational finance capability who can lead people, fix process, and drive improvement, particularly within our credit and collections function, which is a genuine priority area for us right now.

You'll lead a small team, drive the reporting and analysis that shapes executive decision-making, and get involved in the technology, automation and process-improvement work that's reshaping how our Finance function operates — including a growing focus on how AI can be applied to finance and business processes.

About the role

Based onsite at our Southport office, you'll report to the General Manager, Finance and take ownership of:

• Financial control, compliance and management reporting

• Leading our AR Collections Manager and their Quality Assurance team, with a strong focus on lifting credit and collections performance

• Business intelligence and FP&A — budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and executive/Board reporting

• Driving operational improvement and innovative solutioning across finance processes — this is a genuine priority, not a side responsibility

• Driving technology and automation initiatives across our platforms (Xero, HubSpot, Paidnice, Tanda, Microsoft 365 and our provider portal)

• Leading cross-functional projects and continuous improvement initiatives across the business

• Contributing to how we adopt and apply AI across finance and operations

About you

• CA or CPA qualified — this is essential, not preferred

• Strong operational finance capability — someone who leads, fixes and improves, not just reports

• Strong FP&A background — budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and business partnering

• Experience leading a team, ideally with exposure to credit, collections or receivables

• A track record of leading projects to completion, working with stakeholders outside your own team

• A strong analytical mindset and genuine comfort working with data — we care more about how quickly you can learn a new tool than what you've already used

• Naturally curious about technology and AI, and how they can improve the way a finance function operates

• Comfortable operating across commercial and governance matters, not just traditional accounting

What's on offer

• A clearly defined pathway to Financial Controller as the business grows

• Genuine breadth — financial control, FP&A, BI, technology and people leadership in one role

• Direct exposure to executive decision-making and Board-level reporting

• An in-office role based in Southport, Gold Coast, with affordable parking nearby
