The Opportunity

Joining Aveo as a Management Accountant, you'll partner with Community Managers and Operations leaders across your portfolio of communities, turning financial data into clear, forward-looking insight that supports budgeting, forecasting and day-to-day decision-making.

You'll be a trusted advisor to non-finance stakeholders, helping them understand their communities' financial performance and key drivers, and you'll build positive relationships with residents and committees along the way.

  • Your Impact
  • Lead the preparation of annual budgets in partnership with Community Managers, Operations and Resident Committees, ensuring budgets are well supported and clearly presented.
  • Prepare and maintain rolling forecasts for your portfolio, highlighting emerging risks, opportunities and key financial trends.
  • Prepare management reports and dashboards, using Power BI to highlight variances, trends and areas requiring attention.
  • Conduct variance analysis and investigate significant movements, working with Operations to understand root causes and identify actions.
  • Own the maintenance and accuracy of budgets within the ERP system for your portfolio of communities.
  • Identify and lead improvements to management reporting, budgeting and forecasting processes, including standardising templates and championing Power BI to reduce manual reporting.
  • Act as the primary finance point of contact for your Community Managers, providing trusted financial advice and support while building strong relationships with Resident Committees and visiting communities as required.
  • Provide guidance and coaching to junior members of the Community Finance Team, including Assistant Accountants.
  • What You'll Bring
  • 3+ years’ experience in management accounting, FP&A, finance business partnering or a similar role.
  • Demonstrated experience preparing budgets, forecasts and variance analysis.
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, with experience using Power BI or similar reporting and dashboard tools.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate financial detail into clear, accessible insights for non-finance stakeholders, including Resident Committees and residents.
  • Ability to manage a portfolio of stakeholders and prioritise competing demands independently.
  • Degree qualification in Accounting, Finance or a related discipline, with CA/CPA (or equivalent) qualifications completed or in progress.
  • Exposure to Retirement Living, Aged Care, Property Management or Body Corporate legislation is desirable but not essential.

A valid Driver’s Licence and vehicle is also required for travel to communities as required.

Why Aveo?

  • A role with genuine purpose, where your work directly supports residents and frontline operations while building expertise in a complex, multi-site environment.
  • Be part of a purpose-led organisation that is reshaping how Australians live.
  • Annual salary reviews and incentive scheme.
  • Enjoy a range of health and wellbeing benefits, including paid leave days, health insurance, retail and leisure discounts, annual vaccinations, skin checks, employee referral programs and employee assistance programs.
