Make your mark in a growing national organisation
Lifeful is a fast-growing, values-driven organisation delivering disability and allied health services across NSW, VIC, QLD and WA.
We are entering an exciting phase of growth involving systems transformation, automation, acquisitions and commercial development — and we’re looking for a senior accountant who wants more than routine reporting.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-autonomy finance leadership role with genuine exposure to strategic decision-making and business growth.
About the role
This is a senior standalone accounting role, reporting directly to the CEO.
While the role offers significant autonomy and strategic exposure, it is also a hands-on “doer” role, suited to someone who enjoys ownership, accountability and variety.
The location is flexible and requires regular in-office presence to work closely with the CEO and operational teams.
For the right applicant — particularly someone bringing strong capability and long-term commitment — there is potential to establish or shape a dedicated local office environment over time.
You will be responsible for:
- End-to-end financial management across multiple entities.
- Tax and statutory compliance including BAS, PAYG, payroll tax and superannuation.
- Liaison with external accountants, tax advisors and auditors.
- Monthly management reporting (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow).
- Cash flow forecasting and active cash management.
- Financial analysis and insights to support business performance.
- Development and enhancement of financial systems, processes and internal controls.
- Oversight of outsourced and offshore payroll, accounts payable and billing teams.
- Leadership of the NDIS Plan Management function.
- Management of outsourced IT providers and contribution to cyber and systems risk management.
- Support for growth initiatives including acquisitions, due diligence, business cases and financing.
About you
You are a commercially minded accountant who enjoys responsibility and influence.
You’re confident working independently, enjoy being embedded in the business, and value face-to-face collaboration with operational teams.
You don’t need to have done everything before — but you are capable of researching new areas, developing understanding quickly and delivering outcomes to a high standard.
You’ll bring:
- Degree qualification in Accounting or Finance.
- CPA or CA qualification (or near completion).
- Strong technical accounting and compliance knowledge.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong systems literacy and interest in technology.
- Ability to work autonomously with accountability.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative working style.
Highly regarded:
- Experience in multi-entity or growing organisations.
- Exposure to NDIS, healthcare or human services (or strong capacity to learn quickly).
- Experience working with outsourced or offshore teams.
- Interest in automation, AI and process improvement.
- Experience supporting business cases, due diligence or commercial projects.
Working arrangements & location
This role is intended to be primarily office-based, with flexibility available once strong working relationships and systems knowledge are established.
Applicants should be based within reasonable commuting distance of either:
Swansea, NSW, Melton, VIC, Frankston Vic, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast
Why join Lifeful?
- Senior role with genuine ownership and influence.
- Direct access to the CEO and strategic discussions.
- Broad commercial exposure rarely available in similar roles.
- Opportunity to shape systems, processes and financial capability.
- Potential to help establish or grow a local office environment.
- Competitive regional salary package.
