• Partner with the CEO and clinic leaders to align financial reporting with business strategy and practice operations
• Own and manage cash flow forecasts, banking relationships, and financial planning efforts
• Supervise and develop accounting staff and evaluate team structure for long-term scalability
• Prepare reports and presentations for board meetings, executive reviews, and the private equity partner
• Collaborate with the PE sponsor on financial oversight, investor reporting, and growth initiatives
• Contribute financial leadership to integration efforts, M&A activity, and operational performance improvement

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (CPA preferred)
• 5+ years of experience in accounting or finance leadership roles
• Prior experience in a multi-site dental group or similar healthcare services organization is required
• Experience working with or reporting to private equity sponsors is strongly preferred
• Hands-on, detail-oriented leader with the ability to implement structure and build scalable processes
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence across clinical and corporate teams
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment with shifting priorities
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly to Indianapolis during onboarding and as needed

Why This Role?

• Remote flexibility with structured travel expectations
• High-impact position with a direct line to the CEO and visibility to the PE sponsor
• Opportunity to shape and scale finance infrastructure for a growing healthcare platform
• Confidential search with expedited interview process

This is a confidential opportunity. Company name will be shared during the interview process. Interested candidates should apply directly or contact us to express interest and learn more.
