Hours : Monday‑Friday, 8am‑5pm Hybrid Position Details The Financial Consultant – Operational Finance & Workforce Strategy serves as a strategic advisor to executive leadership, translating complex operational and workforce data into actionable financial insights that drive performance across Pediatric Home Service (PHS). This role operates at the intersection of Finance, Operations, Workforce Management, and Revenue Cycle, providing consultative guidance on staffing strategy, operational efficiency, and revenue optimization. The Financial Consultant partners closely with senior leaders to evaluate business performance, identify risks and opportunities, and influence decisions that improve service delivery, scalability, and financial outcomes. Job Duties Workflow & Throughput Analytics Own and evolve the enterprise Operational Process & Staffing Report across the full workflow: Referral Admission Documentation/Audit Sales Order Invoice (with denials as context). Analyze where work accumulates, how long it sits in each stage, and how throughput and service levels change over time. Identify bottlenecks, rework loops, handoffs, waiting states, and peak‑volume stress points that degrade service or create hidden capacity loss. Develop and maintain short‑, mid‑, and long‑term workload and call‑volume forecasts across multiple contact centers. Provide clear explanations for service‑level misses or revenue shortfalls driven by operational delays rather than demand. Ensure cycle time, aging, and service‑level performance are treated as core, trending metrics (weekly, MTD, YTD). Activity Based Staffing & Productivity Metrics Design and maintain productivity metrics normalized by FTE, agent, cost, and time , including: • Calls handled per FTE • Admissions completed per FTE • Sales orders confirmed per FTE • Invoices submitted per FTE Monitor real‑time WFM performance (service levels, AHT, occupancy, utilization, adherence) and recommend staffing or scheduling adjustments. Separate true staffing gaps from process, scheduling, or tooling inefficiencies. Partner with operations leaders to align staffing models with observed productivity and cycle‑time behavior. Staffing Alignment & Capacity Analysis Assess over‑ or understaffing by market, region, and service line. Support cross‑center and cross‑market comparisons using standardized metrics. Collaborate with customer service leadership on rollover and failover strategies for peak volumes or disruptions. Answer critical capacity questions such as: Do we need more staff—or better flow and scheduling? Where do we break first if volume spikes? Provide data‑backed recommendations on staffing adjustments, scheduling changes, or vendor utilization. Leading Indicators of Revenue Risk Develop and monitor early operational signals tied to downstream revenue risk, including: • Missed service levels or rising abandoned rates • Uncompleted admissions • Unconfirmed sales orders • Invoice backlog growth and aging Translate operational signals into clear financial risk narratives for FP&A and executive leadership. Partner with Operations and Revenue Cycle to prioritize upstream fixes that protect service quality and cash flow. Vendor vs. Internal Capacity Economics Analyze internal versus vendor productivity using cost‑per‑unit and time‑to‑completion metrics. Ensure vendors are evaluated on economic efficiency, not headcount. Support in‑sourcing and outsourcing decisions with clear cost, throughput, and cycle‑time comparisons. Support FP&A with productivity‑based staffing models for budgets, forecasts, and scenario planning. Model operational and financial impacts of volume changes, staffing shifts, or process improvements. Quantify how cycle‑time reductions can unlock capacity without incremental headcount. Support investment cases for automation, tooling, or process redesign. Reporting Governance & Standardization Own metric definitions and ensure consistent interpretation across Finance and Operations. Ensure all metrics align cleanly to defined process stages—no orphan dashboards. Partner with BI teams to formalize reporting in Power BI and continuously improve clarity and storytelling. Requirements Required Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. 5‑7+ years of experience in FP&A, operational finance, or workforce analytics. Strong understanding of activity‑based costing, productivity metrics, and capacity analysis. Advanced analytical skills working with large, process‑oriented datasets. Advanced Excel skills; experience with Power BI or similar BI tools. Ability to clearly communicate complex operational insights to non‑financial audiences. Willingness to travel 20–30% to PHS customer service centers and operational sites. Preferred Healthcare services experience (home health, DME, pharmacy/IV, revenue cycle, or operations‑heavy environments). Experience analyzing end‑to‑end operational workflows and funnels. Exposure to staffing models, Lean, or process improvement methodologies. Experience partnering with Operations, HR, and Revenue Cycle teams.
