Posted on Sat, Aug 8, 2026
Build the Financial Engine Behind a Growing Healthcare Company
We're looking for more than an accountant.
We're looking for a business-minded leader who wants to own the financial health of a growing organization.
As our Healthcare Accountant, you'll lead the accounting function, oversee key revenue cycle operations, and provide the financial insights that help leadership make smart decisions. You'll manage everything from month-end close and payroll to financial reporting and compliance while developing a high-performing Billing and Authorization team.
If you're someone who enjoys improving processes, solving problems, and turning financial data into business decisions, you'll thrive here.
Estimated Total Compensation: Competitive compensation package based on experience, with opportunities for growth as the organization continues to expand.
What Success Looks Like
Own the Financial Operations
- Lead month-end close, account reconciliations, payroll, banking, and financial reporting.
- Maintain accurate financial records and strong internal controls.
- Deliver timely, reliable financial information that supports business decisions.
Improve Business Performance
- Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning.
- Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen financial performance.
- Develop systems and processes that allow the organization to scale.
Lead the Revenue Cycle
- Coach and develop the Billing Specialist and Authorization Specialist.
- Improve collections, reimbursement performance, and revenue cycle efficiency.
- Monitor KPIs and proactively solve issues before they impact the business.
Ensure Compliance
- Manage tax filings, payroll compliance, annual filings, and financial reporting requirements.
- Maintain compliance with GAAP and applicable federal, state, and healthcare regulations.
- Support audits and strengthen internal financial controls.
Who Thrives Here
This role is ideal for someone who thinks beyond debits and credits.
You enjoy building better systems, leading people, and solving business problems—not just recording transactions. You take ownership, communicate proactively, and use data to drive decisions.
You're someone who:
- Thinks like an owner.
- Holds yourself and others accountable.
- Looks for ways to improve every process.
- Enjoys coaching people and building strong teams.
- Wants to have a measurable impact on a growing company.
If you're looking for a position where you simply process transactions and go home, this probably isn't the right fit.
If you want to help build a stronger business while advancing your own career, we'd love to meet you.
Qualifications
We're looking for someone with:
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
- Five or more years of progressive accounting experience.
- Healthcare accounting experience required.
- Experience leading month-end close, payroll, financial reporting, and reconciliations.
- Strong knowledge of GAAP and financial controls.
- Leadership experience with the ability to coach and develop employees.
- Advanced Excel and accounting software proficiency.
- Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
Experience with healthcare billing, revenue cycle management, EMRs, and practice management software is a strong plus.
