We are seeking a commercially minded Senior Accountant to join the Finance team at Lingard Private Hospital. This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role that plays a critical part in supporting leaders across the hospital and contributing to strong financial outcomes.
This role will suit someone who enjoys being visible in the business, building trust with stakeholders, and adapting to changing priorities in a fast-paced healthcare environment.

Preparing monthly financial reports, scorecards and analysis
Supporting budgets, forecasts and weekly reporting cycles
Managing balance sheet reconciliations and internal controls
Monitoring capital expenditure and asset reporting
Providing ad-hoc analysis and insights to the Executive team
Working collaboratively with the central finance function
What we’re looking for
Tertiary qualifications in Accounting (CPA/CA desirable)
Minimum 5 years’ experience in an accounting or finance role
Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems
A hands-on, adaptable mindset with strong attention to detail
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust across diverse teams
Experience in healthcare or large, complex environments will be highly regarded
Why join Lingard

Exposure to a complex and meaningful healthcare environment
Opportunity to grow your skills and influence within a respected hospital
