Able Australia has recently undergone a transformative merger with Mosaic Support Services, creating Tasmania’s largest disability support provider and expanding our national organisation significantly. With a combined revenue now exceeding $100 million, we’re entering a bold new era of growth, transformation, and sector-wide leadership.

We’re seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to help shape this pivotal moment: a time of consolidation, optimisation, and future-focused strategy. This is more than a financial leadership role; it’s a rare opportunity to shape the strategic direction of our merged entity, helping define what Able looks like as one united organisation, and leave a lasting legacy.

• Be a key strategic partner to the CEO, Executive Team, and Board,
• Lead a high-performing corporate services team across Finance, Payroll, Information Communications Technology (ICT), Data Analytics, Facilities, Assets and Property.
• Play a central role in embedding a sustainable business model, optimising post-merger operations, and delivering long-term financial stewardship.
• Lead strategic financial planning, forecasting, and risk management.

This is a role for a seasoned leader who thrives on complexity, is energised by change, and is driven by purpose. You’ll navigate shifting markets, emerging technologies, and the evolving NDIS landscape, whilst helping us seize new opportunities along the way.

Above all, this role is about people: our teams, our clients, and our communities. At Able you’ll find a culture that’s collaborative, agile, kind, and focused on delivering exceptional outcomes, together.

Direct Reports: 

• National Manager, Finance 
• National Manager, ICT & Data Analytics
• National Manager, Property and Assets 

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a CFO or senior finance executive in a large, complex organisation (NFP/Disability/NDIS experience is desirable although not essential).

• Demonstrated ability to design and implement effective business models or projects and drive organisational change and capability improvements across the organisation.
• Thrive when navigating complex negotiations, influencing diverse stakeholders, and leading in a multi-disciplinary environment.
• Visionary leadership, backed by exceptional people skills: able to lead, inspire and align diverse teams with competing priorities.
• Tertiary and/or post graduate qualifications in commerce, Finance, Accounting or a related discipline. 
• Certified Accountant, Membership of Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) Australia, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) or Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
