We are seeking an experienced Financial Analyst to join our team, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), to organize, track, and report on the practice's various revenue streams.

The ideal candidate is highly analytical, comfortable working with large datasets, and skilled at translating numbers into clear, actionable insights.
