Financial Management and Reporting

• Maintain and regularly update the fiscal procedures manual to ensure operational integrity.
• Ensure timely, GAAP-compliant reporting, including board reports, monthly financial statements, and annual audits.
• Lead the budgeting process in collaboration with program leadership, including cash flow forecasting and budget performance monitoring.

Medicaid and Billing Compliance

• Ensure ongoing compliance with Medicaid and state billing requirements tied to authorized services.
• Lead program-based billing activities and oversee reconciliation efforts with support from billing and program staff.

Labor Relations and Union Involvement

• Conduct financial modeling and scenario planning to evaluate wage proposals and benefits adjustments.
• Support a productive relationship between leadership and the union by collaborating with HR on labor-related financial strategy.

Benefit and Insurance Oversight

• Both a strategic thinker and hands-on operator who can roll up their sleeves to support daily financial operations.
• A collaborative leader who brings emotional intelligence, calm decision-making, and mentorship to the role.
