Finance & Accounts Team Leader
About Us
At HomeFront Australia, we are committed to providing high-quality household support services to those who need them most, including DVA, NDIS, and aged care clients. Backed by a trusted network of over 1,500 vetted service providers, we focus on building meaningful stakeholder relationships to consistently deliver excellent care.
About the Role
We are looking for a hands‑on Finance & Accounts Operations Team Lead to run the day‑to‑day finance operations and lead the Accounts Team.
This is a genuinely operational role that sits at the intersection of finance, compliance, and systems - ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, enjoys improving processes, and takes ownership of outcomes.
You will actively manage invoicing, payroll, BAS lodgement, accounts receivable/payable, reconciliations, and month‑end reporting, while supporting your team, improving systems, and ensuring accuracy and compliance.
We're in the middle of strengthening our financial systems and processes as we scale. You will help design a cleaner, smarter, more accurate finance function.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the team across invoicing, payroll, BAS lodgements, debt management, and reconciliations while completing key parts of these processes yourself.
Carry out and supervise accounts receivable/payable, copayment processes, issue resolution, reconciliations, and administrative workflows.
Prepare financial reporting, support month‑end close, and provide insights for operational decision‑making.
Ensure payroll, superannuation, GST/BAS, and other regulatory requirements are accurate and timely.
Enter, reconcile, and track data across multiple financial systems to maintain accuracy and effective reporting.
Collaborate with senior leadership to support financial reporting, compliance, and systems development, ensuring finance processes align with broader business operations.
Support and guide the accounts team, fostering accountability and professional growth.
Proactively identify and implement opportunities to refine workflows, internal controls, and business procedures.
What We’re Looking For:
3+ years’ experience in accounting, bookkeeping, or financial operations, including leadership or supervisory responsibility.
Experience with BAS preparation and lodgement, payroll compliance, and month‑end reporting.
Proficiency in accounting software and financial systems, ideally Microsoft 365; experience with MYOB, Xero, or similar is a plus.
Demonstrated high level computer, systems, and administrative skills.
High attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast paced environment.
Strong problem‑solving and investigative skills, particularly in compliance and system integration.
Collaborative leadership style with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Nice-to-Have Skills: Advanced Excel, credit/aged debt management, workflow automation experience, stakeholder management, or project coordination.
This role is well suited to candidates from finance operations, bookkeeping, payroll, or accounts administration backgrounds seeking leadership scope, or accounting‑qualified candidates who prefer hands‑on operations over purely advisory work.
Accounting qualification is highly regarded but not essential. Real‑world experience counts.
What We Offer
Mission‑Driven Impact: Contribute to an organisation dedicated to supporting veterans and their families.
Values‑Led Culture: Integrity, resilience, and teamwork guide everything we do.
Professional Growth: Career development opportunities in a collaborative environment.
Work‑Life Balance: Flexible hybrid model (Tues, Wed, Thurs in‑office).
Innovation: Be part of a forward‑thinking team improving financial operations and service delivery.
Veteran‑friendly employer
Assessment Process
Shortlisted applicants will complete a 45‑minute practical assessment covering finance operations, prioritisation, administrative skills, and problem‑solving. We care about how you think and how you work - not just what’s written on a CV.
How to Apply
Please apply with your CV and a brief cover letter outlining relevant experience.
