Audit & Financial Compliance

• Assist with external audits by preparing schedules, documentation, and responding to information requests.
• Support required federal, state, and local financial reporting activities.
• Maintain HIPAA compliance, confidentiality, and adherence to internal controls and accounting policies.

Collaboration & Process Improvement

• Partner with Finance, Billing, Operations, and clinical teams to support organizational goals.
• Communicate financial information clearly to non-financial staff and department leaders.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls, and enhance reporting accuracy.
