Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a high-level finance leader who understands healthcare, not simply a CFO with strong general accounting experience.

The right candidate will understand the unique financial challenges of healthcare operations and will have the leadership ability to manage a team, take ownership of the numbers, and serve as a strategic financial partner to ownership.
