Join Sundale as a Finance Business Partner
Sunshine Coast | Full-Time | Make a Real Impact Every Day
Looking for a role where your commercial insight can shape real outcomes? At Sundale, you’ll have the opportunity to influence strategic and operational decision-making across services that genuinely matter to people’s lives.
With more than 60 years of service across aged care, community care, retirement communities and affordable housing, Sundale is committed to empowering Queenslanders to live their best lives — and that commitment extends to our people too.
We’re seeking an experienced Finance Business Partner to support our Residential Aged Care and Retirement Village Operations across the Sunshine Coast. This is a key role for a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys partnering with leaders, improving performance and turning data into meaningful business insight.
Why Sundale?
At Sundale, our values guide everything we do:
Care – creating quality, meaningful experiences
Connection – listening and responding to the needs of others
Creativity – finding different and better ways to support our community.
We offer a values-led, people-first workplace where your expertise will be recognised, your contribution will matter, and your work will directly support the sustainability of essential community services.
About the Role
Reporting to the Financial Controller, this role is a true business partnering opportunity — not just a reporting role. You will work closely with operational and executive leaders to drive financial performance, provide commercial insights and support strategic decision-making across Residential Aged Care and Retirement Village operations.
You’ll lead budgeting, forecasting and analysis, while helping stakeholders interpret financial information, identify opportunities and improve operational performance. The role also contributes to continuous improvement initiatives, strategic projects and the evolution of a contemporary business partnering model across the organisation.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Leading budgeting, forecasting and financial planning for RACF and RV operations.
- Delivering timely reporting, variance analysis and commercial insights to support better decision-making.
- Partnering with operational leaders to improve business performance, manage costs and maximise value.
- Work collaboratively with residents and their families to support positive experiences and a resident-centred approach.
- Supporting investment evaluation, capital expenditure oversight and business case development.
- Enhancing reporting tools, systems and processes to drive continuous improvement and better financial control.
- Coaching stakeholders in the use and interpretation of financial reports to build financial capability across the business.
- Providing ad hoc analysis and support on strategic and operational projects as they arise.
What You’ll Bring
- Tertiary qualifications in Accounting, Finance or Commerce.
- CPA, CA or equivalent professional qualification.
- Demonstrated experience in a Finance Business Partnering or FP&A environment.
- Strong analytical capability, financial modelling skills and commercial acumen.
- The ability to influence and build trusted relationships with senior leaders and key stakeholders.
- Strong reporting and systems capability, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word and BI/reporting tools.
- Experience in aged care, health, community services or similarly complex service environments will be highly regarded.

Why This Role Stands Out
This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can do more than analyse numbers — you can influence decisions, support leaders and contribute to services that make a meaningful difference in the community every day.
If you are a commercially astute finance professional who thrives on partnering with leaders, improving performance and adding strategic value, we’d love to hear from you.
