More About The Financial Controller Role At Co-Hive
Financial Controller
“Lead the Numbers. Back the Mission. Change Lives.”
Salary: $90k-120k + Wellness Perks
Employment Arrangement: Full-Time
Location: Alexandria, Sydney
Reports to: CEO
About Co-Hive
Co-Hive is a purpose-driven and fast-growing organisation based in Alexandria, Sydney, dedicated to supporting young adults with disability aged 17–35 as they transition from school to adult life. In just 18 months, Co-Hive has emerged as a game-changing service — winning “Best New Disability Service” at the Australian Disability Service Awards and gaining national recognition for doing things differently.
We’re here to fill a critical gap. Too often, young people with disability leave school full of dreams, but quickly lose direction as they face a system that isn’t built for them. Co-Hive is rewriting that story — helping participants build skills, confidence, and independence through hands-on, person-led programs that lead to real outcomes in open employment, social connection, and independent living.
Our model is bold, creative, and grounded in real relationships. We co-design every program with participants and their families and work closely with employers, educators, and community partners to build pathways that truly empower. Our work is guided by the core values of self-determination, inclusion, and possibility.
With strong demand and a growing reputation, Co-Hive is now preparing to expand across NSW and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to join a team at the forefront of change — and help shape the future of an organisation already making a profound difference in people’s lives.
About The Role
This is a newly created and pivotal role within Co-Hive, designed to support our continued growth and ensure financial stability across our expanding operations. As our first dedicated Finance Controller, you’ll have the opportunity to build financial processes from the ground up, introduce efficiencies, and lead all aspects of compliance, reporting, and strategic budgeting.
You will work closely with leadership to align financial management with Co-Hive’s mission and NDIS funding structures, helping us scale responsibly while staying true to our values.
Key Responsibilities
Financial Accounting & Reporting
Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual financial closings, including variance analysis and board reporting
Prepare financial statements in accordance with AAS, SCHADS, and NDIS reporting guidelines
Manage statutory obligations: BAS, FBT, payroll, superannuation, tax lodgements, NDIS provider reporting
Budgeting & Forecasting
Collaborate on annual budgeting and rolling forecasts, highlighting cash flow and NDIS funding risks
Provide regular financial insights to leadership for strategic decision-making
Audit & Compliance
Ensure robust internal controls and preparation for external audits
Maintain compliance with NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements
Team Leadership & Mentorship
Oversee day-to-day finance/admin teams: AP, AR, payroll, reporting
Mentor and develop junior finance staff and contractors
Cash Flow & Treasury
Monitor and manage cash flow, debtors, and creditors
Administer banking, debt, and cash-related operations
Systems & Process Improvement
Maintain and optimise Finance/Accounting systems (e.g., Xero)
Lead automation initiatives to streamline finance operations
NDIS-Specific Financial Oversight
Track NDIS participant funding, plan budgets, invoicing, and reconciliations
Liaise with NDIS planners/account managers to liaise around funding status and claims
About You – Skills & Experience
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or equivalent; CA/CPA preferred
7+ years’ experience in financial accounting, preferably in a finance-controller role
Experience in not-for-profit or NDIS funded organisations and SCHADS Modern Awards are both highly desirable
Strong technical accounting knowledge: AAS, BAS, FBT, payroll, NDIS compliance
Proficiency in accounting systems and high level Spreadsheets/BI Reporting skills
Excellent communication, strategic thinking, and leadership skills
Strong interpersonal skills – able to work with external stakeholders, auditors, and cross-functional teams
Why Join Co-Hive?
Be part of an energetic, values-driven team that’s reimagining what’s possible for young adults with disability
Play a key leadership role in a fast-growing organisation committed to real, long-term impact
Work somewhere where your contribution directly transforms lives - not just delivers services
Enjoy above-Award wages, plus Wellness Perks to support your health and balance
Join a warm, close-knit culture that’s collaborative, courageous, and committed to inclusion
