What You'll Do
- Own the Care Partners general ledger, close calendar, and period-end reporting — delivering financial statements, flux analysis, and balance-sheet substantiation to the CFO and CAO each period.
- Drive close acceleration and standardization across all segment entities, reducing cycle time and eliminating recurring out-of-period adjustments.
- Design, document, and operate SOX 404 controls for the segment — revenue, capitation, claims, IBNR, risk-pool settlements, and related IT-dependent controls — and lead remediation where deficiencies exist.
- Own the accounting for complex revenue arrangements, including professional and institutional capitation, shared-risk settlements, and quality-based payments.
- Partner with Actuarial and Medical Economics on claims liability and incurred-but-not-reported (IBNR) estimates — understanding the model, challenging inputs, and owning the accounting conclusion.
- Lead integration of acquired physician groups and IPAs onto the company's policies, chart of accounts, close calendar, and control framework.
- Identify and reduce manual effort across the segment — reconciliations, journal entries, spreadsheets — and act as the accounting owner for automation and ERP initiatives.
- Coordinate with the external auditor, internal audit, and regulatory examiners as the segment's primary accounting contact.
- Lead and develop the segment accounting team across multiple offices, building bench strength and eliminating single points of failure.

- Healthcare experience in a risk-bearing or capitated environment (managed care, IPA, medical group, health plan, or comparable value-based care organization) with direct exposure to capitation revenue, claims expense, and IBNR estimates
- Proven track record of close acceleration, multi-entity standardization, and accounting automation
- Ability to lead teams across multiple locations and communicate directly with executives and auditors
Preferred Qualifications
