About the role
Assistant Controller Healthcare Services Cleveland, OH 44128 | Full-time, on-site
About the Role:
A healthcare services company is seeking a hands on Controller/Assistant Controller. Reporting directly to the CFO, this role owns the accounting function end to end and leads a team of accountants and billers. This is a strong fit for someone who wants ownership beyond a traditional accounting seat — the company is actively migrating from Sage 50 to Sage Intacct, and this role will help drive that transition alongside broader process improvement work.
What You'll Do:
- Own the monthly close and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and healthcare reporting standards
- Lead and develop the accounting team — accountants and billers
- Oversee day-to-day accounting operations: AR, AP, payroll, treasury, lease accounting, and fixed assets
- Partner with operations and data teams on trip-level revenue recognition — reviewing billing data, invoicing, tracking collections, and reconciling revenue to payor and internal reports
- Support the Sage 50 to Sage Intacct migration, including data integrity, chart of accounts design, and process redesign
- Serve as the primary contact for external auditors and tax advisors, leading PBC preparation, walkthroughs, and inquiry responses
- Strengthen internal controls and improve finance operations, particularly following acquisitions
- Develop and report on financial KPIs; support budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, lender reporting, and cash flow planning
- What You'll Bring
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field; CPA preferred 7+ years of public and/or private accounting experience
- Healthcare services industry experience required; NEMT, provider billing, or payor-facing revenue experience strongly preferred
- Advanced Excel (complex formulas, pivot tables, INDEX-MATCH/lookups, SUMIFS, dynamic schedules and reports)
- Strong technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP, financial reporting, and consolidations
- Hands-on experience with Sage 50, Sage Intacct, or QuickBooks Online; ERP implementation or migration experience a plus
- Demonstrated success improving processes and implementing internal controls
- Experience supervising and developing accounting staff
- Self-motivated and intellectually curious, comfortable in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment with shifting priorities
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
