If you're energized by creating structure, improving financial operations, partnering with executive leadership, and building high‑performing teams, we'd love to hear from you.

Position requires medical industry experience including multiple location experience. There's no flexibility on that requirement.

• Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close process, ensuring timely, accurate, GAAP-compliant financial reporting.
• Prepare and analyze financial statements, cash flow reports, and executive reporting packages.
• Build scalable accounting processes, internal controls, policies, and procedures to support continued organizational growth.
• Utilize business intelligence and data analytics tools to automate financial reporting, revenue recognition, and forecasting.
• Develop rolling cash flow forecasts and manage daily cash operations.
• Partner closely with executive leadership on budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and strategic initiatives.
• Lead annual audits and coordinate with external auditors and tax advisors.
• Manage multi-site accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll controls, and compliance.
• Oversee financial reporting related to new location openings and organizational expansion.
• Serve as the accounting lead for ERP optimization and continuous process improvements.
• Support acquisitions, integrations, and other strategic growth initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• CPA or CMA strongly preferred.
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership within a Controller or equivalent role.
• Healthcare services or other multi-site operating environment experience required.
• Experience supporting organizations undergoing rapid growth, acquisitions, or operational expansion.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP, revenue recognition, lease accounting, and financial reporting.
• Experience with sophisticated ERP systems; Sage Intacct experience is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with financial reporting and business intelligence platforms such as Power BI, Alteryx, or Tableau.
• Experience preparing board-level financial reporting and executive dashboards.
• Background in private equity-backed or highly leveraged organizations is strongly preferred.
• Excellent analytical, communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on execution.

Why Join?

• Opportunity to build and shape the accounting function within a rapidly growing organization.
• Highly visible role with direct interaction with executive leadership.
• Significant opportunity to improve systems, processes, and financial operations.
• Dynamic, collaborative culture where your contributions have a measurable impact.
• Long‑term career growth as the organization continues to expand.
• Competitive compensation and performance‑based bonus.

If you're a collaborative accounting leader who enjoys building scalable finance organizations and making a lasting impact within a growing business, we'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
