This is an excellent opportunity for an accounting professional who wants to bring strong financial expertise to an organization where the work has a meaningful impact. The Controller will work closely with the Chief Financial Officer and play an important role in financial reporting, accounting operations, audit preparation, grant financial oversight, cash management, and the day-to-day financial operations of AAPHC.

As Controller, you will:

• Prepare and review monthly financial statements and related financial reports.
• Manage general ledger preparation, posting, balancing, and month-end closing activities.
• Prepare month-end entries, including payroll accruals, prepaid expenses, and other income-related entries.
• Maintain financial lead schedules and reconcile them to financial statements.
• Provide oversight and support to accounting staff, including purchasing and accounts payable.
• Oversee accounts payable processes and ensure timely processing.
• Review payroll submissions and related financial transactions for accuracy.
• Monitor expenditures associated with organizational grants and collaborate with the Grants Manager.
• Serve as a lead resource for the annual financial audit and cost report.
• Assist the CFO with Form 990 and annual UDS preparation.
• Monitor daily cash activity and assist with transfers among operating accounts.
• Analyze general ledger balances and clinic profit-and-loss activity.
• Prepare revenue and cash updates for the Executive Team.
• Participate in management and Finance/Board meetings with the CFO.
• Present and interpret monthly financial statements in the CFO's absence.

The successful candidate should bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or a related field.
• Accounting and purchasing experience, preferably within a health care environment.
• Strong knowledge of budgeting and cost accounting principles.
• Ability to prepare and interpret statistical, narrative, and financial reports.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Excellent computer skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with leadership and operational teams.

We’re looking for more than someone who can close the books.

The ideal Controller is a hands-on financial leader who understands the story behind the numbers, can identify issues before they become problems, and can translate financial information into useful insights for leadership. You should be comfortable moving between detailed accounting work and higher-level financial analysis while maintaining accuracy, accountability, and strong internal controls.

Health care accounting experience is especially valuable, and experience with community health centers, grants, cost reporting, or other complex health care financial environments would be a strong fit for this role.

This position offers the opportunity to work directly with executive leadership and contribute to the financial strength of a mission-focused health care organization serving communities across Southwest Georgia.

If you're an experienced accounting professional looking for a role where your financial expertise can make a meaningful difference, we'd like to hear from you.
