Job Description

At N.E.W. Community Clinic, we believe healthcare is a human right-not a privilege. Our people are the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care to the communities we serve. When you join NEWCC, you become part of a collaborative, purpose-driven team where your contributions matter-and where your work makes a meaningful difference every day.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we are mission-driven and values-led-but we are equally committed to operational excellence, long-term sustainability, and responsible growth. We believe being a strong nonprofit means thinking strategically, acting fiscally responsibly, and operating with the discipline and accountability of a high-performing business.

More than a job-you'll find purpose here.

General Responsibilities:

• Serve as a key member of the Executive Leadership Team and strategic partner to the CEO and Board of Directors.
• Lead the organization's financial strategy, ensuring long-term sustainability, operational effectiveness, and fiscal integrity.
• Direct all financial operations including accounting, budgeting, forecasting, payroll, accounts payable/receivable, financial reporting, and cash management.
• Oversee annual operating and capital budget development and provide financial modeling to support organizational growth and investment decisions.
• Provide executive oversight of Revenue Cycle, Facilities, and Information Technology to ensure alignment across infrastructure, technology, and financial strategy.
• Monitor financial performance and recommend proactive solutions to optimize outcomes and support patient access.
• Ensure compliance with GAAP, HRSA requirements, federal and state regulations, grant requirements, and audit standards.
• Lead revenue cycle strategy including billing, collections, reimbursement optimization, and payer relationships.
• Oversee financial reporting for grants, UDS requirements, and regulatory compliance activities.
• Guide risk management initiatives including internal controls, insurance programs, cybersecurity awareness, and financial stewardship.
• Support digital transformation and operational improvement initiatives that strengthen patient experience and organizational performance.
• Build and develop high-performing teams while fostering accountability, collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field required; Master's degree preferred.
• Minimum of 5 years of progressive healthcare and/or nonprofit financial leadership experience required.
• FQHC or community health center experience strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of HRSA/BPHC regulations, grant compliance, PPS reimbursement, UDS reporting, and healthcare financial operations preferred.
• Demonstrated experience leading strategic planning, budgeting, financial analysis, and organizational growth initiatives.
• Experience overseeing or partnering with Revenue Cycle, Information Technology, and/or Facilities functions preferred.
• Strong understanding of healthcare technology, cybersecurity principles, and operational infrastructure.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, especially Excel and financial reporting tools.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence, collaborate, and build trust across teams and stakeholders.

If you are a strategic financial leader who is energized by mission-driven work, values innovation and accountability, and wants to help shape the future of community healthcare-we'd love to meet you.
