Controller

Controller - Executive Leadership Track (Future Associate CFO Opportunity)

Are you a high-performing healthcare finance leader who has already mastered the Controller role and is ready for the next step in your career?

Our organization is seeking an experienced Controller to join a highly successful finance team with a unique opportunity: the right candidate will be positioned for promotion to Associate CFO.

This is not a traditional Controller position. We are looking for a proven leader who can immediately contribute at a strategic level while helping shape the future of our financial operations and organizational growth.

- Clearly defined path to Associate CFO for the right candidate - High-performing accounting and finance team already in place - Strong organizational culture focused on collaboration and excellence - Stable healthcare organization with a commitment to growth and innovation - Opportunity to work directly with executive leadership on strategic initiatives - Last financial statement audit completed with no audit adjustments, reflecting the strength of our accounting processes and team

Reporting directly to the Associate CFO, the Controller serves as a key financial leader responsible for General Accounting, Accounts Payable, Payroll, Cash Management, and Capital Asset Management. The position plays a critical role in financial reporting, strategic planning, operational improvement, staff development, and organizational decision-making.

This role extends well beyond technical accounting. We are seeking a leader who can develop people, drive projects, improve processes, build relationships across the organization, and communicate effectively with executives, physicians, board members, auditors, bankers, and other external stakeholders.

- Significant hospital finance and accounting leadership experience - Proven success leading high-performing teams - Strong project management and organizational leadership skills - Deep understanding of healthcare accounting, financial reporting, reimbursement, budgeting, and audit processes - Experience presenting financial information to executive leadership and governing boards - Ability to identify opportunities, solve problems, and drive results - Desire and capability to grow into a senior executive finance leadership role

- CPA - MBA, MHA, or other advanced degree - Experience serving as a Controller, Assistant CFO, Associate CFO, or equivalent senior financial leadership role within a healthcare organization
