What Ability
Posted 6 days ago
Are you a finance professional looking for a role where your work makes a real impact? Join What Ability, a rapidly growing NDIS-registered disability service provider operating across four states in Australia. We don’t just provide support - we create engaging, fun experiences for our participants. With a national team of over 700 support workers, including professional and semi-professional athletes, we empower people with disabilities to live their best lives by putting happiness first.
This is a full-time, permanent role based at our Macquarie Park office in Sydney.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Finance Manager to join our National team. Reporting to the COO, you’ll play a key role in managing and growing the financial operations of the business, identifying opportunities, and ensuring our systems scale with our ambitions.
This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a real impact, develop their career, and grow towards a future CFO role. Experience in the disability or education sectors is desired, but not essential.
Key Responsibilities
Manage daily/weekly invoicing, reconciliation, and accurate coding of revenue transactions
Liaise with plan managers, families, and stakeholders to resolve invoice discrepancies and adjustments
Ensure compliance with NDIS Price Guide, Service Agreements, and internal financial policies
Oversee outstanding accounts, initiate collection processes, and liaise with NDIA regarding overdue debt
Process and reconcile company expenses and staff reimbursements efficiently
Manage fortnightly payroll and respond to payroll-related enquiries
Reconcile bank and balance sheet accounts and maintain financial data integrity
Manage the month end process, including preparation of monthly financial packages for the Executive Leadership Team (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow reports, and variance analysis)
Manage lodgement of payroll tax and BAS on a monthly basis.
Maintain the fixed asset register, including processing monthly depreciation and amortisation.
Support annual budget planning, forecasting, and performance monitoring
Who You Are
Reliable, honest, and authentic in everything you do
Comfortable with financial reporting, analysis, and compliance
Curious and proactive - you look for ways to improve processes and outcomes
Ideally, some understanding of the disability sector, but passion and attitude matter more than experience
Essential Skills & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
CA/CPA qualified or working towards certification
Minimum 3+ years in financial accounting, preferably within disability services, healthcare, or NFP sectors
Proficient in accounting software (e.g., Xero, MYOB) and Microsoft Excel/Google Suite
Knowledge of NDIS pricing, funding models, and compliance requirements (desirable)
Strong analytical, time management, and attention to detail skills
Ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders
Why You’ll Love Working Here
Join a fast-growing, purpose-driven organisation that’s changing the disability sector
Work with a diverse, vibrant team who value fun and impact as much as results
Career development opportunities to grow your skills, leadership, and path to CFO
Be part of a workplace that celebrates wins, supports growth, and values authenticity
If you’re ready to make a real difference, lead our finance function, and grow alongside a passionate team, we’d love to hear from you!
