Senior Accountant

Randstad Senior Finance is partnering with a leading Aged Care organisation situated in Melbourne’s inner suburbs. This provider is currently navigating a significant period of business transformation, and we require a high-energy, technically proficient Senior Accountant to support the finance function during this pivotal six-month window.

This is far from a standard "business as usual" role. We are looking for a proactive self-starter—someone who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and take on a wide variety of tasks that go beyond traditional ledger management. If you are a go-getter who thrives on making an impact during times of change, this is the opportunity for you.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you will be a key driver in ensuring financial integrity and process evolution. Your work will directly support the organisation's ability to adapt to new sector standards and internal structural changes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide hands-on assistance with the implementation of new financial frameworks and reporting tools to align with recent sector reforms.

• Manage the month-end close, statutory reporting, and intricate reconciliations for a diverse portfolio of facilities.

• Ensure all financial activities are specialised to meet Aged Care regulatory requirements, including AN-ACC funding models and prudential compliance.

• Take ownership of ad-hoc projects, ranging from audit preparation and "clean-up" tasks to process mapping and workflow automation.

• Act as a commercial point of contact for Facility Managers, helping them to analyse and understand their budgets during this transitional phase.

• Identify inefficiencies in current financial processes and take the initiative to implement more robust, scalable solutions.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

We are seeking a candidate with a strong work ethic who does not require constant supervision to deliver high-quality results.

• Previous experience within the Aged Care or Healthcare sector is essential. You must have a solid grasp of the unique funding and compliance landscape.

• You are CA or CPA qualified with a pedigree in technical accounting.

• You are a recognised "self-starter" with a resilient, "can-do" attitude. You enjoy variety and are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift rapidly.

• Advanced Excel skills (modelling and data manipulation) are required. Experience with industry-specific software or large-scale ERPs is highly regarded.

• Strong interpersonal skills are vital for engaging with stakeholders across the organisation during a period of change.

How to Apply

If you are a motivated finance professional with the required Aged Care experience and a drive to excel in a transformative environment, we want to hear from you. Please apply directly or email Charli Crouch at: charlotte.crouch@randstad.com.au with your updated CV (must be immediately available).

At Randstad, we are passionate about providing equal employment opportunities and embracing diversity to the benefit of all. We actively encourage applications from any background.
