The CFO will play a critical role in optimizing this model, strengthening revenue cycle performance, evaluating service-line economics, and ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the organization.

The CFO directly supervises the Accounting Manager, Revenue Cycle Manager, Finance Manager, and Director of Property and Facilities, and is accountable for the performance, development, and coordination of their respective teams. The broader finance/accounting team comprises a total of 10 staff. The Property and Facility Management team has six additional staff.
