Finance Manager

About Us

LME Care Services is a registered NDIS provider specialising in Supported Independent Living (SIL). Based in Woolloongabba, we support participants across South East Queensland to live their best lives in the community. We're a growing, purpose-driven organisation and we're looking for a talented Finance Manager to grow with us.

The Role

This is a hands-on, strategic finance role reporting directly to the CEO and Director. You'll own the numbers — from Xero and payroll through to financial modelling and director-level reporting — while playing a genuine advisory role in the growth of the business. You'll also supervise an Accounts Payable Officer.

What You'll Do

• Manage all financial accounting in Xero — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, BAS/GST, payroll (STP Phase 2)
• Produce monthly management reports and financial commentary for the CEO and Director
• Build and maintain rolling cash flow forecasts and business growth models
• Monitor NDIS plan budgets and ensure compliance with NDIS pricing arrangements (PAPL)
• Support NDIS registration audits and Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements
• Model staffing costs against SCHADS Award and NDIS price limits
• Supervise and develop the Accounts Payable Officer
• Drive the annual budgeting process and monthly budget vs actual analysis
• Identify cost savings and financial risks — and bring solutions, not just problems

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or Business (CPA/CA preferred or in progress)
• 5+ years in a finance management or senior accounting role — ideally in NDIS, disability, aged care or NFP
• Strong Xero skills — you know it well and you make it work harder
• Proven financial modelling and analysis capability — not just reporting, but interpreting and advising
• Experience with SCHADS Award payroll is a big advantage
• A self-starter who can operate with autonomy in a busy SME environment
• Excellent communicator — you can explain financials to a non-finance CEO and Director clearly and confidently

What We Offer

• Competitive salary $100,000 – $120,000 + super, negotiable based on experience
• Direct access to the CEO — your work has real impact from day one
• A genuine growth trajectory as the organisation scales
• Meaningful work in a sector that makes a real difference
• Woolloongabba location — excellent transport links, walkable from Gabba/Buranda
