You’ll work directly with the Sr. Director of Finance, who reviews your work and shapes your growth.
Our economics are more interesting than most: revenue comes from school district contracts and insurance reimbursement, and our largest cost is clinician pay. That makes both the accounting and the modeling a real analytical challenge. Getting accruals and revenue recognition right is the foundation, and modeling clinician capacity, utilization, payer mix, and contract economics is how we plan.
You’ll also be a finance partner to the business. Working with leaders across Clinical, Operations, Revenue Cycle, and Go-to-Market, you’ll explain what’s driving revenue and margin and contribute to strategic finance work that shapes how we grow.
