• Data & Reporting
  • Build and maintain executive-level financial reports and dashboards, including on DOMO, that provide clear, actionable insights to support data-driven decision-making by clinic and senior leadership.
  • Track and communicate key performance indicators across clinic operations, including patient volumes, revenue per visit, staffing ratios, payer mix, and operating margins.
  • Build out the data analytics and reporting function, establishing standardized metric definitions and automated recurring reports that give clinic and finance teams a single source of truth.
• Operational & Revenue Cycle Support
  • Facilitate regular financial reviews with clinic, operations, and clinical leadership, serving as a strategic thought partner to drive performance improvement.
  • Partner with accounting, revenue cycle management, and operational teams to ensure financial data accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and support payer mix reviews and reimbursement trend monitoring.
  • Continuously improve forecasting methodologies and financial processes to enhance accuracy, transparency, and usability; drive initiatives to advance process automation and financial systems integration.
• Strategic Projects
  • Lead financial diligence and scenario planning for business cases related to new clinic openings, payer contract negotiations, and market expansion opportunities.
  • Model and measure the ROI of strategic initiatives, including technology investments and operational improvement efforts.
  • Conduct ad-hoc analyses for senior leadership to evaluate opportunities, risks, and cost-saving initiatives.

Required Qualifications:

• Education & Experience 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA or CFA preferred. 
  • 5–7 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, management consulting, or healthcare financial operations; multi-site healthcare or outpatient behavioral health experience strongly preferred. 
• Skills & Competencies 
  • Deep financial modeling expertise with the ability to synthesize complex data into insights that drive executive decision-making.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling; hands-on experience building dashboards in DOMO, Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI tools; SQL or comparable data-querying skills
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally with operations, growth, clinical, and IT teams.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate financial information for both financial and non-financial stakeholders.
  • Strong leadership capabilities with a track record of managing projects and competing priorities in a dynamic, high-growth environment.
  • Working knowledge of healthcare revenue recognition under ASC 606 and the methodologies used to test it.
  • Demonstrated understanding of healthcare reimbursement, payer mix, and clinic operational drivers.
  • Proven discretion in handling sensitive and confidential information.
