Controller (Interim or Perm)

Interim / Permanent Controller
Your Next Adventure in Rural Healthcare Finance

Are you a seasoned financial leader looking for a meaningful opportunity? We're seeking a Controller, either interim or permanent, to oversee financial operations for a community-based hospital in a charming, welcoming mountain town. You'll be part of a passionate, mission-driven team delivering high-quality care and making a real impact.

Located in a picturesque valley with around 4,000 residents, this small town is rich with history, outdoor adventure, and small-college energy. With access to incredible fishing, hiking, hot springs, festivals, and community events, it's the perfect place to slow down and breathe deep while still doing impactful work. The hospital is a nonprofit critical access center known for its strong team culture, commitment to care, and recognition for excellence in rural healthcare. From primary and specialty services to behavioral health and wellness programs, this hospital is the heartbeat of its region.

Position Overview
As Controller, you'll report to the CFO or CEO and manage all financial operations, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and performance. This role is ideal for a diligent strategist ready to lead finance in a close-knit rural healthcare environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead financial reporting, including monthly, quarterly, and annual statements

• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis

• Ensure regulatory and grant compliance (Medicare, Medicaid, nonprofit audits)

• Supervise accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and general ledger functions

• Strengthen internal controls and financial systems

• Coordinate audits and reporting with outside agencies and auditors

• Mentor finance staff and train non-financial leaders

• Collaborate on strategic planning, financial modeling, and cost control

Candidate Profile

• CPA or CMA preferred

• Minimum 5 years in accounting or finance leadership, ideally in healthcare or nonprofit

• Knowledge of Medicare, Medicaid, and nonprofit compliance

• Strong communication and analytical skills

• Comfortable working independently and collaboratively in a rural setting

• Familiarity with hospital ERP systems and reporting tools

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Join a mission-driven hospital that plays a vital role in its community. You'll have the chance to make a lasting impact while enjoying a lifestyle full of natural beauty, small-town charm, and genuine connections. This is more than a job, it's a place to belong and make a difference.
