Chief Financial Officer

Kheir Clinic is entering a planned leadership transition as our Chief Financial Officer prepares for retirement. Over the past decade, the organization has grown into a multi-site Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) with six clinic sites, two Adult Day Health Care centers, an in-house 340B pharmacy, and a developing Family Medicine Residency Program. As we continue to scale from a small to mid-sized healthcare organization, we are strengthening our financial governance framework and transitioning toward a more disciplined, data-driven financial culture. We seek a CFO who will guide this next phase of growth by refining the structured partnership among Finance, Revenue Cycle, and Operations, and by leading executive leadership through fact-based decision-making.

The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for financial stewardship, regulatory compliance, strategic forecasting, grant oversight, enterprise reporting, and finance team development.

The CFO will strengthen structured partnership among Finance, Billing, and Operations while maintaining clear lines of accountability. The CFO will maximize Sage Intacct to support fact-based executive decisions, generate department-level dashboards, and elevate financial literacy across leadership.

This role requires strategic oversight combined with operational engagement. The CFO must be willing to roll up their sleeves to address internal gaps when necessary and avoid default reliance on outsourcing where responsible internal capacity can be developed.

• Minimum of eight years of senior financial leadership experience in positions such as Chief Financial Officer, Deputy Finance Officer, Vice President of Finance, Controller in a hospital or healthcare organization, or Director of Finance in a multi-site healthcare setting.
• Candidates whose highest level of experience is Accounting Manager will not meet the scope of this executive role.
• Strong communication skills and presence.

Preferred experience includes:

• FQHC or safety-net healthcare experience preferred.
• Hospital or healthcare finance leadership experience welcomed.
• Experience with Medi-Cal and Medicare reimbursement structures.
• Experience presenting to Boards and Finance Committees.

Leadership profile includes:

• In-person executive engagement and active collaboration across departments.
