NOVA is a rapidly scaling Dental Support Organisation (DSO) operating multiple high-performance dental clinics across Australia. We are building a best-in-class finance function designed to mirror the standards, controls, and discipline of a public company — despite being privately owned.
This is not a traditional AP role. This is an opportunity to step into a leadership position within a fast-growing, sophisticated group that values structure, accountability, and excellence.
The Role
As Accounts Payable Manager, you will take full ownership of the AP function across multiple entities, clinics, and cost centres. You will lead and develop the AP team, implement strong controls, improve processes, and ensure accurate, timely supplier payments across the group.
You will work closely with the Financial Controller and broader finance leadership to ensure the AP function supports scale, cash-flow visibility, and audit-ready reporting.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and manage the Accounts Payable team
* Own end-to-end AP processes across multiple entities
* Ensure accurate coding, approvals, and timely payment of suppliers
* Maintain strong internal controls and segregation of duties
* Improve AP workflows, systems, and efficiency
* Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies
* Support month-end close and reporting requirements
* Partner with Finance leadership on process improvements and scale
What We're Looking For
* Proven experience as an Accounts Payable Manager or Senior AP Lead
* Strong understanding of AP controls, approvals, and best practice
* Experience working in multi-entity or high-volume environments
* Confident people leader who can train and hold standards
* High attention to detail with a systems-first mindset
* Experience with Xero (highly regarded)
Why Join NOVA
* Be part of a finance function built to public-company standards
* Work in a fast-growing group with real complexity and scale
* High ownership role with visibility and influence
* Clear structure, leadership support, and long-term growth opportunity
