Position Description: The CFO's job is complex and intermingled as an essential part of the strategic management group of the hospital. We are in a strong growth mode and need a forward thinking individual who can project the long-term financial picture of the organization and ensure that we meet our regional and corporate goals. The basic job can be broken down into four levels: administration, controllership, treasury, and economic strategy:

Administration -- Supervision of a staff of CPA and accounting professionals, administrative assistants, and mid-level accounting staff. All HR duties including performance reviews, hiring, coaching, and disciplinary action as necessary. Responsible for team and departmental budget.

Controllership - These make up the backward looking part of a CFO's job. Controllership duties hold the CFO responsible for presenting and reporting accurate and timely historical financial information of the company he or she works for. Every stakeholder in the company - including shareholders, analysts, creditors, employees and other members of management - relies on the accuracy and timeliness of this information. It is imperative that the information reported by the CFO is accurate, because many decisions are based on it.

Treasury - The CFO is also responsible for the company's present financial condition, so he or she must decide how to invest the company's money, taking into consideration risk and liquidity. In addition, the CFO oversees the capital structure of the company, determining the best mix of debt, equity and internal financing. Addressing the issues surrounding capital structure is one of the most important duties of a CFO.
