We are seeking a Manager to deliver outsourced financial management, accounting and advisory services to Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). In this role, you will partner with senior finance leaders-such as CFOs, Controllers, Directors of Finance, and Financial Planning & Analysis leaders-to strengthen day to day financial operations, improve overall fiscal outcomes, and ensure compliance with applicable FQHC standards and regulations.

Responsibilities:

Responsibilities: 

* Deliver highly varied outsourced financial management services, often learning and growing through on-the-job consulting and paid client contracts ("learning while billing").
* Serve in a range of financial management roles for FQHCs, from clerk to CFO, with a primary focus on director-level responsibilities (Controller, Director of Finance, FP&A).
* Manage both ongoing interim contract roles (minimum six months, not intended to sunset) and project-based assignments (typically three to five months).
* Lead project work in areas such as revenue optimization, contract negotiation, and financial analysis and optimization. Licensing and PPS expertise are not required, as these are covered by other team members.
* Oversee multiple client relationships concurrently, typically managing four to ten clients at any given time.
* Assess the performance of FQHC finance departments using data, outcomes, and industry benchmarks.
* Develop and deploy targeted strategies to improve financial operations and outcomes.
* Identify operational gaps and recommend practical, timely solutions.
* Stay current on payment models, reimbursement systems, and regulatory changes impacting FQHCs.
* Build trust-based relationships with client executives by understanding their goals and challenges.
* Guide clients through change initiatives with clear communication and actionable plans.
* Analyze revenue cycle, cash flow, and profitability to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
* Prepare and present assessments, including key performance indicators, to client leadership.
* Assist with developing operational budgets and forecasts as needed.
* Configure and optimize financial accounting systems and EHRs to ensure accurate reporting.
* Collaborate with internal and external teams on cost reporting, GL account setup, and compliance tracking.

Qualifications:

Qualifications:

* 5+ years of experience in healthcare finance; FQHC experience is a plus.
* Strong understanding of financial operations, budgeting, and reimbursement systems.
* Experience with enterprise-level financial accounting systems (e.g., Sage, Intacct, Abila MIP, Microsoft Great Plains)
* Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, Teams, Outlook, and related applications.
* Ability to manage multiple priorities, think critically, and solve problems in a fast-paced environment.
* Experience building strong remote team relationships based on trust and accountability.
* Exposure to revenue cycle management and clinic licensing a plus.
* Skilled in managing client expectations and delivering work within defined scope and timelines.
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with a client-focused mindset.
* Commitment to continuous learning and professional growth.
* Motivated by a values-driven mission to expand healthcare access and improve outcomes for underserved communities.
