Position Description

This leader will provide strategic financial direction for the hospital, ensuring fiscal responsibility, operational efficiency, and alignment with the health system’s mission and objectives. Reporting directly to the Hospital CEO and indirectly to the System CFO, the CFO collaborates closely with the senior management team, serving as a key advisor on strategic initiatives, cost management, and resource allocation to optimize performance within the broader system framework.

Responsibilities include oversight of all aspects of hospital financial operations—general and cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, revenue integrity, capital planning, and long‑range financial planning. The CFO will lead the development, analysis, and interpretation of accounting and statistical data to evaluate operating results, measure profitability, monitor performance against budget, and assess overall fiscal soundness and operational effectiveness.

The role partners with system‑level shared services—including accounting, payroll, revenue cycle, supply chain, and information systems—to ensure consistent policy application, accurate financial data, and compliance with all regulatory requirements.

Amid a backdrop of significant financial challenges, ERP implementation impacts, and outsourced revenue cycle operations, this CFO must be both a transformational strategist and hands‑on operator—capable of stabilizing day‑to‑day functions while shaping a sustainable financial future.
