Job Details

We are seeking a Senior AP & Financial Analyst to join our Finance Department. AP is the foundation of this role today. You’ll own the full accounts payable function, bring a currently manual process under control, and help lead its transition to automation. You’ll also contribute to the month-end close. As automation creates capacity, the role intentionally expands into accounts receivable, general ledger analysis, expense controls, budgeting, and trend analysis. This role is ideal for a strong AP or accounting professional who is ready to grow into analysis.

Accounts Payable (Core Focus):

• Own full-cycle accounts payable, processing and analyzing invoices accurately and on time.
• Review invoices for appropriate documentation and approval before payment.
• Prioritize invoices by discount potential and agreed-upon payment terms.
• Code invoices correctly, following standard procedures, for accurate entry into the financial system.
• Break down complex invoices and allocate costs accurately based on monthly census and volume data.
• Handle vendor correspondence by phone and email, and investigate and resolve invoice issues.
• Voucher approved invoices into the payables system and schedule payments.
• Reconcile vendor statements, then research and correct discrepancies.
• Maintain the vendor master file and prepare annual 1099 filings.
• Validate documentation and create journal entries for the corporate credit card program.
• Handle incoming mail and general AP administration.
• Partner with leadership to identify, design, and implement AP automation and process improvements.

Accounts Receivable (Growth Area, preferred):

• Calculate and communicate private pay and patient-responsibility amounts.
• Invoice and apply cash receipts for private pay, patient pay, and miscellaneous transactions.

Financial Analysis (Growth Area):

• Help develop the annual operating budget by department, location, and service line.
• Analyze actual results against budget and prior-year performance.
• Identify unfavorable variances, emerging trends, and corrective actions.
• Support scenario modeling for staffing, volume, reimbursement, and operating expenses.
• Perform general ledger analysis, expense controls, and spend trend analysis.
• Communicate findings clearly and proactively with staff and leaders.

Qualifications:

• Associate degree in Accounting, Business, or Economics required; bachelor’s degree preferred.
• 5+ years of AP or general accounting experience with strong foundational accounting skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel; experience with Sage or Paycor is a plus.
• Healthcare industry experience preferred.
• Interest in growing from transactional accounting into financial analysis.
• Excited about automation and process improvement; open to change, with a high capacity to learn.
• Big-picture thinking with the discipline to execute the details.
• Comfort with ambiguity and gray-area decisions; able to work independently when the situation calls for it.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

Additional Requirements:
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation for occasional local travel between locations.
Must meet organizational health requirements, including required immunizations, subject to approved medical or religious accommodations and applicable law.
Background check and drug screen required.
