Controller Recruiters

A Controller turns daily billing, payroll, purchasing, and patient revenue activity into financial statements your leaders can use. The work includes reviewing reconciliations, questioning unusual balances, directing the close calendar, and explaining what changed in net patient revenue, cash, expenses, and reserves.

General corporate accounting alone may not prepare someone for healthcare reporting. Your Controller must connect clinical revenue cycle software, billing feeds, contractual allowances, denials, and patient balances to the general ledger. Ask how they investigate a mismatch between accounts receivable detail and a balance sheet account, including who they call, what data they compare, and when they post a correction.

The strongest interview answers show judgment under a close deadline. A candidate should explain how they review payer mix movement, bad debt estimates, payroll accruals, capital purchases, and late department entries without obscuring the reason for a variance. They should also describe how they document decisions for leadership, auditors, and the accounting team.

We recruit Controllers from healthcare employer types such as health systems, multi-site provider groups, academic medical organizations, and physician enterprise settings. We also speak with Assistant Controllers and Directors of Accounting who already own material portions of close, audit preparation, or revenue reporting.

People may consider a move when they want broader ownership, a clearer reporting line, or the chance to repair an aging reporting process.
