Position Summary

MD² International is seeking an experienced VP / Controller to lead and scale the accounting function for a growing, private equity-backed healthcare organization. This is a full-time, in-person position based at our corporate headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. This role requires both strategic leadership and day-to-day operational involvement in accounting activities as well as management of a 10+ member (and growing) accounting organization.

MD² currently operates nearly 40 locations nationwide and continues to experience double-digit annual growth (with an expectation of doubling the number of offices over the next 5 – 8 years). The Controller will play a critical role in supporting this expansion by ensuring financial integrity, scalable accounting infrastructure, and operational excellence across the organization.

The Controller will oversee all accounting operations, financial reporting, audit coordination, internal controls, and multi-entity reporting while partnering closely with executive leadership to support organizational growth and financial discipline. This individual will also play a key role in optimizing NetSuite functionality, improving accounting processes, and collaborating with FP&A on budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and management reporting.

The ideal candidate is a CPA with strong technical accounting expertise, deep knowledge of GAAP, experience managing corporate audits, and familiarity with LLC structures and related tax treatment. Experience in multi-site healthcare or retail organizations and private equity-backed environments is strongly preferred. This role is focused on operational accounting excellence and scalable financial infrastructure rather than healthcare revenue cycle management.
