Chief Financial Officer (Confidential)
Enterprise Multi-Facility Healthcare Platform
Corona, CA (Hybrid) | Relocation Available
About the Opportunity
A privately held, founder-led healthcare organization is seeking a strategic and operationally focused Chief Financial Officer to lead finance across a 19-facility behavioral health platform generating $700M+ in annual revenue.
This is a rare enterprise CFO seat overseeing a multi-state hospital system where finance is respected, operational rigor matters, and executive collaboration drives decision-making.
The organization has long-standing stability, a highly tenured leadership team, and a mandate to elevate financial consistency, revenue cycle performance, and governance across facilities.
This is not a capital markets or IPO role. It is an operator’s seat.
Scope & Leadership
The CFO will report directly to the CEO and oversee:
- 18 facility CFOs (some covering multiple facilities)
- Central Billing Office (approx. 40 employees)
- Chief Accounting Officer / Revenue Cycle leadership
- Director of Contracting
- Corporate accounting support function
The executive team is small, collaborative, and highly communicative. The CEO remains actively involved on a weekly basis.
First 12–18 Month Priorities
- Review and validate financial systems, reporting integrity, and governance processes
- Ensure consistent financial policies across all facilities
- Strengthen revenue cycle rigor and margin discipline
- Lead and unify the bench of facility CFOs
- Evaluate reporting structure and potential middle-management layering
- Partner with operations to drive EBITDA and productivity improvements
- Oversee annual audit and banking relationships
Ideal Background
We are seeking a seasoned healthcare finance executive who:
- Has served as a Divisional, Regional, or Enterprise CFO within a multi-hospital system
- Brings behavioral health or complex payer-mix experience (strongly preferred)
- Has deep revenue cycle understanding
- Is fluent in GAAP and audit leadership (Big Four exposure strongly valued)
- Has managed large, distributed finance teams
- Thrives in a privately held, founder-led environment
Public company experience is not required.
Operational hospital finance leadership is essential.
Travel & Work Structure

Why This Role
- $700M+ healthcare platform
- 19 facilities

Enterprise behavioral health CFO seats of this scale and stability rarely come to market.
