Ready to take your financial skills to the next level? As the Cash Posting Lead, you'll be the wizard behind the scenes ensuring payments flow smoothly and accurately for two hospitals.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love working with numbers, and have an eye for detail, this role is calling your name!

• Be the Compliance Champion: You'll make sure payments and contractual allowances meet the high standards set by University Health, all while ensuring compliance with regulations.

• Lead and Inspire: Take the reins by supervising and mentoring a team of Cash Posters. You'll be their go-to resource for guidance and troubleshooting, stepping in to take on supervisory duties when needed.

• Improve the Process: You'll keep a close eye on daily and monthly reports, always looking for ways to streamline the process and make things even more efficient.

What We're Looking For

• A Degree and Experience: An Associate's degree (or equivalent) in Accounting or a related field is ideal, and experience with cash posting and account reconciliation is a must.

• Clear Communicator: You'll be explaining complex procedures to your team and working closely with other departments, so you'll need strong verbal and written communication skills.

• Tech-Savvy: You should be proficient in patient accounting systems and spreadsheets (Excel is your friend!), plus you've got solid keyboard skills and can navigate a 10-key keypad with ease.

• Detail-Oriented: You'll juggle multiple financial tasks with accuracy, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

• Leadership Potential: Have you led teams before? Awesome! If not, no worries-this is your chance to grow into a leadership role and guide your team to success.

Bonus Points (Preferred)

• Team Leadership Experience: While leadership experience is a plus, we're excited to help you grow into the role!

• Healthcare Accounting Knowledge: If you're familiar with healthcare finance, that's a huge plus, but we're happy to help you learn along the way.
