Overview: The Company is providing post-acute care for patients while reducing the total cost of care. They are doing this through a creative means of finding care that solo physician practices typically cannot do on their own. They were founded 8 years ago and have grown into a high-margin, asset-light healthcare services business. The Company presently has 50+ providers providing services at 200+ facilities in 6 states. The Company intends to pursue additional organic growth (including market expansion) as well as pursuing tuck-in acquisitions over the next 12–24 months. The Company desires to establish institutional-level finance-function capabilities while maintaining appropriate investment relative to its scale. The CFO will help the company grow from founder-led finance to institutional-grade finance.

Location: The role is based at the Company’s office in Elgin, IL (Chicagoland area). This is an in-office position.

Pay: 200k Base, 30% bonus, 1.5% equity

Role Objective: Seeking a hands-on Chief Financial Officer to build and own the financial infrastructure of a growing, multi-market healthcare services platform. The CFO will be responsible for financial control, reporting, banking relationships, and acquisition support, while partnering closely with the Founder and external advisors on capital structure, governance, long-term value creation and external stakeholder confidence. This is a builder role, not a maintenance role.

Expectations of Role: This role is anticipated to require hands-on and detail-oriented effort, as there is no CFO or established finance team at present. The CFO will be one of the key leaders of the business, highly visible internally and externally, and will be central to risk management and decision support. The CFO is expected to possess strong judgment, low ego, high accountability, and a self-starting orientation.
