We're looking for a CFO Advisory Consultant to serve as a long-term financial partner and advisor to clients operating under management services agreements between an MSO and its affiliated professional corporation(s) (PCs). As the de-facto senior finance team member for such clients, you'll own the numbers month over month, architect & manage the right systems, become a trusted voice to CEOs, physician leadership, and investors, and help clients navigate the capital requirements, entity mechanics, compliance boundaries, payment flows and unit economics that make the MSO/PC structure work.

• Oversee monthly close, budgeting, and forecasting across the management company and affiliated PC(s), month after month.

• Keep MSO/PC economics clean: intercompany billing, cost allocations, management fee settlements, and clear guardrails between the entities to ensure compliance.

• Advise the CEO and physician leadership on financial strategy, including capital planning, growth, management fee strategy and execution.

• Own the finance section of Board meetings, including MSO/PC KPI dashboards and investor updates.

• Support fundraising and M&A e.g. sizing rounds, modeling scenarios, speaking investors' and acquirers' language.

• Keep the fundamentals sharp: revenue cycle, cash flow planning, vendor spend, controls, growth potential and audit readiness.

• Flag opportunities to bring in Burkland's bookkeeping, tax, and HR services.

• Direct MSO/PC experience — management fee arrangements, intercompany settlements, practice-level unit economics. This is the top qualifier.

• Other healthcare experience, particularly related to insurance reimbursements.

• A history of managing and owning the numbers long-term, not just building fixed-fee FP&A models.

• Experience advising through growth events — fundraising, M&A, and exits. Investment banking, venture capital, or corporate development background is a strong plus.

• 7–10 years in finance/operations, ideally in healthcare growth sectors (digital health, telehealth, behavioral health/therapy services).

• Excellent Excel/Sheets skills, plus strong familiarity with financial technology platforms such as QBO, Carta, Rippling, Ramp, Rillet, etc.

• Experience with current AI tools, skills and LLMs as applied to the Office of the CFO - financial analysis, processes, accounting, reporting, etc.

• MBA or CPA preferred, not required.

• Strategic judgment and exceptional soft skills.

• Candidates based in Austin, Boston, New York, or Northern California are preferred but not required.
