About The Position

Daniels Health is seeking a Finance Lead focused on continuous improvement within its Australian finance team. This role is ideal for a finance or accounting professional who enjoys problem-solving and process simplification, aiming to make finance operations more efficient rather than focusing on repetitive month-end cycles. The position involves mapping current processes, identifying areas for improvement, designing and implementing changes, standardizing practices, supporting system enhancements, documenting processes, and coaching the finance team through transitions. The goal is to help the team work smarter and more efficiently over time, supporting the company's growth and service commitments.

Requirements

CA/CPA (or equivalent) and 5+ years' experience in financial or management accounting.
Experience in continuous improvement, “change on top of BAU” or finance process enhancement work.
A practical, hands‑on approach to mapping, analysing and improving processes.
Confidence working with finance systems and data (comfortable testing and validating changes, without needing to be a systems expert).
Strong communication and stakeholder skills, with the ability to listen, clarify needs and bring people on the journey with incremental change.
