Make an Impact Behind the Scenes at MCHC Health Centers

At MCHC Health Centers, we're committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care across our communities. Behind that care is a strong financial foundation and a team dedicated to ensuring accuracy, compliance, and sustainability.

We're seeking a Senior Accountant who brings both technical expertise and analytical insight to support complex financial operations across multiple health centers. If you have a background in healthcare accounting and enjoy working with data, systems, and process improvement, this is a meaningful opportunity to make an impact.

About the Role

As a Senior Accountant, you'll partner closely with the CFO and Controller to support budgeting, regulatory reporting, and financial analysis.

Process Improvement & Team Support

  • Help standardize and document financial processes across multiple entities
  • Support cross-training efforts and development of training materials and staff
  • Serve as backup for monthly close and reconciliation processes

What Will Make You Successful

  • Work independently while proactively seeking clarification to keep projects moving forward
  • Build strong working relationships across departments and effectively support and guide junior staff
  • Demonstrate exceptional attention to detail, catching even minor discrepancies in financial data and reports
  • Bring advanced Excel expertise, including lookups, pivot tables, and index/match, with the ability to troubleshoot and optimize complex workbooks
  • Feel comfortable working with large, complex datasets and breaking them down for meaningful analysis
  • Create clean, user-friendly, and presentation-ready workbooks that support leadership decision-making
