Barry Plant appoints operations and finance manager to Mildura office

In the position, Leng will oversee the financial performance and operational efficiency of the office to ensure strong governance, transparency, and streamlined processes.

The network said Leng had a high level of financial expertise and strategic insight, delivering accurate financial management, strengthening internal systems, and supporting sustainable growth.

“Danica is passionate about building structure and clarity behind the scenes, enabling the sales and property management teams to focus on delivering exceptional results and trusted service,” it said.

Leng said she will use her knowledge of financial management, compliance & systems processes to interpret data and the business's operational needs.

Having previously worked with a diverse client base, she said she had gained a thorough understanding of business structures, cash flow management, taxation, and regulatory compliance.

“The culture and team environment were also very welcoming, which made the decision even easier.”

Ultimately, Leng said she looked forward to contributing to the businesses’ performance and growth with a hands-on approach.
