• Focus on all daily and month-end accounting procedures for the account results, including P&L activity, balance sheet activity; accounts receivable /cash application in compliance with best practice.
• Support the broader team in the development of ongoing performance tracking and measurement, as well as providing comparatives to budget, and recommendations for corrective actions where necessary.
• Provide insight on spending trends and cost-savings initiatives and margin opportunities.
• Establish the systems and processes necessary to enable the business to continue scaling, whilst remaining financially judicious. 
• Develop standards in systems and tools for distribution and monitoring of budgets and expenditure where necessary.
• Establish a standard across the business for forecasting, budgeting and reporting.

Work and Culture:

Having a great culture is something that we value highly at Midnight Health and as a result, have developed a number of great initiatives for our team. We enjoy an autonomous and accountable culture through our Work Your Way initiative and provide the flexibility to determine how to best deliver the outcomes that drive our business growth and profitability. 

Other initiatives include our Midnight Muster, a quarterly event for the whole team to escape the office and enjoy an activity together, and Wellness Week, an extra week of leave in September each year where you can take some time away from your desk to look after your physical and mental health.
