Schedule: Full Time
Shift: Days
The role you’ll contribute:
financial services for the Florida Hospital West Florida Region facilities are centralized for the region within the Central Accounting Office (CAO); thus, the Senior Accountant performs separate functions for as many as six (6) different hospitals as well as a large employed physician group (Florida Hospital Physician Group). Service Level Agreements between the CAO and the Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) of each hospital define the scope of services performed and the performance expectations. A monthly CAO Finance Scorecard is distributed to communicate performance on key metrics.
The Senior Accountant must possess the ability to thrive in a fast paced environment that requires strong organization, communication and interpersonal skills. The ability to work interactively with other team members while meeting multiple deadlines and communicating effectively with multiple bosses is also necessary for success. Expectations of accuracy, completeness and timeliness in this environment are typically at a 95% or higher threshold on Senior Finance approved scorecard measures. The Senior Accountant should also possess an enhanced project management skillset for dealing with specific functions of the CAO that include Fixed Assets, Foundation, Reimbursement, Cash, Tax, and Government Reporting.
The Senior Accountant routinely analyzes, compiles and summarizes data using deductive reasoning skills in response to the needs of the AVP/Controller, Chief Financial Officers and finance leaders (from each campus), AHS Corporate leaders, consultants, and external auditors (financial/governmental).
The Senior Accountant prepares accurate general ledger accounting entries and reconciliations for both Net Revenue and Expense accounts and assists with the valuation of net revenue for multiple hospital A/R systems (including Star, Siemens, and Lawson), physician A/R (NextGen), and home health A/R (Horizon). The Senior Accountant also prepares balance sheet account entries with similar expectations for accuracy, timeliness and completion.
The Senior Accountant follows AHS corporate standard methodologies to record and support net revenue and expense entries such that the CAO receives favorable scorecard results when reviewed periodically by AHS Corporate including internal audit, cash management, and reimbursement reviews. This position also supports an effective and efficient annual external audit for each of the facilities we serve.
The Senior Accountant works collaboratively with Adventist Health System Corporate departments, the patient financial services staff, and other departments in the multihospital accounting office to meet governmental filing requirements including (but not limited to) filing the Medicare cost reports, Medicaid cost reports, the AHCA annual reports, and the IRS 990 annual reports for each facility. This position also supports financial audits and governmental audits/desk reviews associated with the filed cost reports.
As a senior staff person in a centralized, multihospital finance department, the position is responsible for fostering a professional, pleasant work environment and moving through assignments with velocity and precision. The Senior Accountant proactively partners with the management to continuously improve processes in a fast paced environment with many important projects running concurrently.
