Trusted Aged Care Accountant in Australia: PremierOne

Are you looking for an experienced aged care accountant in Australia? I’m Maru Natarajan, a Chartered Accountant and the Managing Director of PremierOne, and I specialise in the complex and often overwhelming world of aged care accounting and compliance.

Over the years, my team and I have helped aged care providers navigate their financial challenges with clarity and structure. One of our aged care clients saved over $310,000 through our outsourced CFO, accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services. We also helped recover $160,000 in bad debts that had previously gone unchecked. These outcomes reflect not just cost savings but improved financial health and compliance for aged care businesses.

Aged care facilities require highly specialised financial management. I work closely with each client to ensure full compliance with government regulations and accurate financial reporting across areas such as:

  • Tax accounting and forecasting

  • Payroll management (including awards and entitlements)

  • Billing and bookkeeping

  • Virtual CFO oversight

  • Payment statement reconciliation

At PremierOne, we understand the unique cash flow dynamics and operational challenges aged care providers face. We don’t offer generic solutions—everything we do is tailored to the aged care sector.

When you partner with me and my team, you gain not just technical expertise but a hands-on approach that ensures proper reconciliation, compliance, and strategic oversight. We know how vital it is in this industry to track every dollar associated with resident care, government funding, and operational costs.

If you’re an aged care provider looking for reliable, experienced financial leadership, I’d love to speak with you.
