• Building and maintaining driver-based financial models that connect membership growth, staffing decisions, and vendor spend to the P&L and cash.
• Supporting or owning aspects of the monthly close related to cost, including accruals, allocations, variance analysis against budget and forecast, and management reporting packages that lead with drivers rather than restated numbers.
• Building business cases and ROI analyses, vendor and build-versus-buy decisions, market expansion and headcount investment, and then holding those investments accountable to what was modeled.
• Being an integral part of a cross-functional team focused on continuous improvement and standardization of policy, process and control, with a heavy emphasis on technology development and shifting our reporting out of spreadsheets and into scalable, self-service tooling.
• Supporting our market, network, and clinical teams with the education, tools, analysis, and supplemental reporting they need to manage their own cost performance.
• Ownership and responsibility for satisfying applicable audit, examination and other regulatory or compliance related inquiries and requests.

Required skills and experience:

• A minimum of 5–10 years of finance and/or accounting experience.
• Demonstrated hands‑on cost accounting experience including allocation methodology, cost center design, unit cost or product-level costing, and the discipline to defend how a number was built.

• Advanced financial modeling skills, including comfort working with large and imperfect data sets, AI, and/or a BI platform
• Deep understanding of ERP or planning systems, or in standing up a cost allocation model from scratch.
• The ability to explain financial results clearly to people who do not work in finance, and to challenge assumptions respectfully when the numbers do not support the story.
• The ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, startup environment where priorities shift and process is something you help build.

Desired skills and experience:

• An undergraduate and/or graduate degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field.
