• Advise on shareholder distributions and ensure accurate fixed asset capitalization and depreciation.
• Partner with external tax advisors, auditors, lenders, and internal stakeholders.
• Support due diligence, purchase price allocation, and financial planning for acquisitions and expansions.
• Negotiate vendor contracts and oversee insurance programs, including property, casualty, and workers' compensation.

The Successful Candidate Will Bring:

• Ten plus years of finance experience, including 5 years in a senior leadership role.
• Healthcare industry experience strongly preferred.
• An active CPA designation is a requirement for the position.
• Deep expertise in tax regulations, compliance, and multi-entity financial management.
• Strong analytical skills and strategic financial insight.
