• Prepare and analyze financial statements, cash flow reports, and executive reporting packages.

• Utilize business intelligence and data analytics tools to automate financial reporting, revenue recognition, and forecasting.
• Develop rolling cash flow forecasts and manage daily cash operations.
• Partner closely with executive leadership on budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and strategic initiatives.
• Lead annual audits and coordinate with external auditors and tax advisors.
• Manage multi-site accounting operations, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll controls, and compliance.
• Oversee financial reporting related to new location openings and organizational expansion.
• Serve as the accounting lead for ERP optimization and continuous process improvements.
• Support acquisitions, integrations, and other strategic growth initiatives.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• CPA or CMA strongly preferred.
• 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, including leadership within a Controller or equivalent role.
• Healthcare services or other multi-site operating environment experience required.
• Experience supporting organizations undergoing rapid growth, acquisitions, or operational expansion.
• Strong knowledge of GAAP, revenue recognition, lease accounting, and financial reporting.
• Experience with sophisticated ERP systems; Sage Intacct experience is a plus.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with financial reporting and business intelligence platforms such as Power BI, Alteryx, or Tableau.
• Experience preparing board-level financial reporting and executive dashboards.
• Background in private equity-backed or highly leveraged organizations is strongly preferred.
• Excellent analytical, communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

Why Join?

• Opportunity to build and shape the accounting function within a rapidly growing organization.
• Highly visible role with direct interaction with executive leadership.
• Significant opportunity to improve systems, processes, and financial operations.
• Dynamic, collaborative culture where your contributions have a measurable impact.
• Long-term career growth as the organization continues to expand.
