Job Details

We are seeking a Senior AP & Financial Analyst to join our Finance Department. AP is the foundation of this role today. You’ll own the full accounts payable function, bring a currently manual process under control, and help lead its transition to automation. You’ll also contribute to the month-end close. As automation creates capacity, the role intentionally expands into accounts receivable, general ledger analysis, expense controls, budgeting, and trend analysis. This role is ideal for a strong AP or accounting professional who is ready to grow into analysis.

Accounts Payable (Core Focus):

• Own full-cycle accounts payable, processing and analyzing invoices accurately and on time.
• Review invoices for appropriate documentation and approval before payment.

• Break down complex invoices and allocate costs accurately based on monthly census and volume data.
• Handle vendor correspondence by phone and email, and investigate and resolve invoice issues.
• Voucher approved invoices into the payables system and schedule payments.
• Reconcile vendor statements, then research and correct discrepancies.
• Maintain the vendor master file and prepare annual 1099 filings.
• Validate documentation and create journal entries for the corporate credit card program.
• Handle incoming mail and general AP administration.
• Partner with leadership to identify, design, and implement AP automation and process improvements.

Accounts Receivable (Growth Area, preferred):

• Calculate and communicate private pay and patient-responsibility amounts.
• Invoice and apply cash receipts for private pay, patient pay, and miscellaneous transactions.

Financial Analysis (Growth Area):

• Help develop the annual operating budget by department, location, and service line.
• Analyze actual results against budget and prior-year performance.
• Identify unfavorable variances, emerging trends, and corrective actions.
• Support scenario modeling for staffing, volume, reimbursement, and operating expenses.
• Perform general ledger analysis, expense controls, and spend trend analysis.
• Communicate findings clearly and proactively with staff and leaders.

Qualifications

• Associate degree in Accounting, Business, or Economics required; bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 5+ years of AP or general accounting experience with strong foundational accounting skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel; experience with Sage or Paycor is a plus.
• Healthcare industry experience preferred.
• Interest in growing from transactional accounting into financial analysis.
• Excited about automation and process improvement; open to change, with a high capacity to learn.
• Big-picture thinking with the discipline to execute the details.
• Comfort with ambiguity and gray-area decisions; able to work independently when the situation calls for it.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Additional Requirements

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for occasional local travel between locations.
• Must meet organizational health requirements, including required immunizations, subject to approved medical or religious accommodations and applicable law.
• Background check and drug screen required.
