• Establish scalable frameworks for GAAP accounting, dashboard reporting, and budget governance

What You Bring

• Minimum 5+ years of senior finance experience, ideally within healthcare or multi-site operations

• Deep understanding of M&A in a healthcare context, including transaction structuring and post-close integration

• Command of budgeting, forecasting, cash management, and operational finance strategy

• Ability to lead and build systems in fast-paced, scaling environments

• CPA designation strongly preferred; relevant MBA or financial leadership credentials welcomed

Compensation Structure

• Part-Time Annual Range: $200,000 – $300,000 (depending on engagement scope and hours)

• Flexible schedule with long-term path to full-time leadership
