Position Summary

The Strategic Finance Analyst will support the Strategic Finance team’s de novo, acquisition, pricing, and growth-investment analysis.

Key Responsibilities

De Novo & Market Expansion Support

• Support and help maintain the de novo economic model, updating ramp, breakeven, payback, and IRR assumptions each cycle.
• Assist with white-space analyses to quantify addressable demand and identify high-return markets.
• Maintain the market prioritization framework and update scoring inputs — demographics, payer mix, labor supply, wage pressure, competitive density, and referral depth.
• Track actual de novo performance against underwriting and help recalibrate ramp assumptions by cohort.

Acquisition Support

• Assist with financial diligence — revenue and payer-mix quality, caregiver wage and turnover economics, billable-hour trends, client concentration, add-backs, and working capital.
• Support valuation work, including DCF and comparable-transaction models.
• Maintain the acquisition pipeline model, tracking targets, multiples, capital requirements, and expected contribution to the office-count and EBITDA plan.
• Support post-close synergy tracking and look-back analysis against original underwriting.

Pricing, Margin & Unit Economics Support

• Help monitor bill-rate-to-pay-rate spread across the footprint and flag offices below target.
• Support quantification of margin expansion initiatives — scheduling efficiency, overtime reduction, caregiver utilization, and overhead leverage.
• Maintain and update the office-level unit economics model and benchmarking output.

Growth Investment & Referral-Source Analysis

• Analyze referral-source performance and ROI by source type, market, and Business Development representative.
• Track client acquisition cost, conversion, and lifetime value by channel.
• Support business case development for strategic initiatives, including assumptions, sensitivities, and downside cases.

Growth & Sponsor Reporting Support

• Help prepare growth, de novo, and M&A content — findings, recommendations, and financial impact — for inclusion in FP&A & Planning’s executive presentations and sponsor analyses.
• Support ad hoc sponsor and lender requests on short timelines in coordination with FP&A & Planning.
• Maintain standardized templates so growth, de novo, and M&A reporting scales with the footprint rather than being rebuilt each cycle.

Business Partnering & Process Improvement

• Support the Manager of Strategic Finance in partnering with Operations, Business Development, and Accounting to improve data integrity and granularity.
• Help maintain modeling, documentation, and review standards.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual reporting and analysis processes.
• Coordinate with the FP&A Analyst so growth and de novo assumptions flow cleanly into the budget and forecast without duplicated work.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related quantitative field
• 0–3 years of experience in corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, transaction services, FP&A, or corporate development
• Strong financial modeling skills, including comfort building and auditing return and valuation models (IRR, payback, DCF)
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills with high attention to detail
• Ability to synthesize large, multi-location datasets into clear, decision-ready analysis
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including preparing materials for executive and sponsor audiences
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects (de novo, M&A, pricing) under deadline pressure
• Ability to handle confidential and highly sensitive financial and deal information responsibly

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior exposure to mergers & acquisitions, due diligence, or transaction analysis (internship or full-time)
• Experience with SQL, Power BI, or other data/BI tools
• Experience in healthcare, home care, multi-location, or franchise business environments
• Coursework or experience in corporate valuation (DCF, comparable transactions)
