- Partnering with FP&A and the CFO to provide a reliable foundation for forecasts, board reporting, and investor communications.
What you'll get to do:
- Financial Leadership & Controllership: Lead monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes; ensure GAAP-compliant, accurate financial reporting; manage external audits and tax compliance.

- Treasury & Cash Management: Manage banking relationships, cash flow, AR/AP, collections, and provider payments; optimize working capital and treasury operations.
- Finance Operations & Automation: Drive process improvements and automation in ERP, payment processing, reconciliations, and insurance billing.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with FP&A, Legal, HR, and Operations for compliance, reporting, and aligning actuals with forecasts; support CFO with board, investor, and lender reporting.
- Marketplace Finance Partnership: Collaborate with Product and Tech teams to strengthen financial processes tied to marketplace operations, provider payments, and compliance.
- Team Development & Culture: Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance and accounting team; champion a culture of accuracy, accountability, continuous improvement, and adoption of new technologies.

- Proven success leading teams through fast growth and system/process change
- Hands-on operator mindset — able to shift between strategy and detail execution
