What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Controller-Controller Track position at EPIC Health System LLC?
Assistant Controller – Controller Track
(12–24 Month Path to Controller)
Location: Southfield, MI - In-Person
Employment Type: Full-Time
About Us
We’re not your typical healthcare company. We are a fast-growing, innovative, multi-entity organization — spanning medical practices, labs, pharmacies, technology, and real estate — on a mission to expand access to quality healthcare across the U.S. With our national expansion underway, we’re building a finance team that can scale with us — and we want you to be part of it.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking an Assistant Controller who is ready to step beyond traditional accounting and grow into a Controller role within 12–24 months. This role offers the chance to work side by side with our Controller and Finance Director, gaining mentorship, leadership opportunities, and exposure across every part of a growing healthcare enterprise.
You’ll not only ensure accurate, GAAP-compliant financial reporting but also play a key role in shaping the processes, systems, and controls that will support our national expansion. This is a rare opportunity to gain the depth and breadth of experience most accountants don’t get until much later in their careers.
Reporting To: Controller & Finance Director
What You’ll Do
Drive monthly closes, reconciliations, and GAAP financial reporting across multiple healthcare entities.
Oversee purchasing, accounts payable, and payroll functions, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and compliance.
Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis to guide business decisions.
Lead improvements in processes, controls, and ERP/reporting systems as we scale nationally.
Support external audits, state/local compliance, and multi-state reporting.
Manage fixed assets, capital projects, and related schedules.
Mentor staff and collaborate closely with the AP Manager to strengthen team performance.
Contribute to special projects tied to growth initiatives, acquisitions, and finance transformation.
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s in Accounting or Finance required; CPA or CPA-track strongly preferred.
3–5 years of progressive accounting experience (public accounting or healthcare industry a plus).
Strong GAAP knowledge and hands-on experience with multi-entity or complex accounting.
Solid background in purchasing, accounts payable, and payroll operations.
Extremely advanced Excel skills — pivot tables, nested formulas, financial modeling, scenario analysis, dashboards, and automation techniques.
ERP proficiency (Acumatica, NetSuite, Dynamics, or similar).
Tech-savvy and process-driven — thrives on streamlining procedures, leveraging systems, and using data/analysis to drive better decisions.
Hungry to grow — you want to run your own accounting team within 1–2 years.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
High Growth: Be part of a company in expansion mode — your work will directly shape our financial infrastructure as we scale nationally.
Exposure: Multi-entity, multi-service-line healthcare operations (medical practices, labs, pharmacies, real estate) — no two days are the same.
Career Path: Mentorship and direct visibility with the Finance Director and Controller. We’re not just filling a role — we’re building a future Controller.
Culture: Collaborative, fast-paced, and entrepreneurial. Your ideas matter here.
Rewards: Competitive salary, performance-based bonus potential, comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision), 401(k), PTO, professional development opportunities, and the chance to accelerate your career faster than in a traditional corporate track.
