• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 3+ years leading a multi-entity accounting or controllership function

• Own the accounting for complex revenue arrangements, including professional and institutional capitation, shared-risk settlements, and quality-based payments.

Description

Astrana Health is a physician-centric, technology-powered healthcare company enabling providers to deliver high-quality, value-based care. We partner with thousands of physicians across the country through our risk-bearing Care Partners segment, the largest and most complex part of our accounting organization, where capitation revenue, claims liability, and risk-pool settlements come together.

• Put Patients First

• Design, document, and operate SOX 404 controls for the segment — revenue, capitation, claims, IBNR, risk-pool settlements, and related IT-dependent controls — and lead remediation where deficiencies exist.
• Own the accounting for complex revenue arrangements, including professional and institutional capitation, shared-risk settlements, and quality-based payments.
• Partner with Actuarial and Medical Economics on claims liability and incurred-but-not-reported (IBNR) estimates — understanding the model, challenging inputs, and owning the accounting conclusion.
• Lead integration of acquired physician groups and IPAs onto the company's policies, chart of accounts, close calendar, and control framework.
• Identify and reduce manual effort across the segment — reconciliations, journal entries, spreadsheets — and act as the accounting owner for automation and ERP initiatives.
• Coordinate with the external auditor, internal audit, and regulatory examiners as the segment's primary accounting contact.
• Lead and develop the segment accounting team across multiple offices, building bench strength and eliminating single points of failure.

• Demonstrated hands-on ownership of SOX 404 — designing and documenting controls, remediating deficiencies, and supporting external audit testing — in a public company setting
• Healthcare experience in a risk-bearing or capitated environment (managed care, IPA, medical group, health plan, or comparable value-based care organization) with direct exposure to capitation revenue, claims expense, and IBNR estimates
• Proven track record of close acceleration, multi-entity standardization, and accounting automation
• Ability to lead teams across multiple locations and communicate directly with executives and auditors

Preferred Qualifications

• Big Four or national firm audit experience with public-company clients
• Experience remediating a material weakness or executing a first-time or expanded SOX scope
• Integration experience — bringing acquired entities onto a common ledger, calendar, and control framework
• Familiarity with California managed-care regulation and restricted-license entity reporting
• ERP implementation or replacement experience; Master's degree a plus
