About The Position

Strategic Healthcare Programs (SHP) is a leader in analytics and performance management solutions for the post-acute healthcare market. Since 1996, we have helped more than 10,000 organizations nationwide, including home health agencies, hospices, and skilled nursing facilities, and turn clinical and operational data into real-time intelligence that improves patient outcomes. We are a SaaS company headquartered in Santa Barbara, CA, and a subsidiary of Roper Technologies (NYSE: ROP). We are not just building software. We are building tools that help caregivers deliver better care to patients when it matters most. If that mission resonates with you, keep reading. We are looking for a Controller who wants to build something, not just maintain it.

You will report to the VP of Finance and work alongside a team that values intellectual curiosity, continuous improvement, and getting things right. If you are the type of person who asks, "why do we do it this way?" and then builds a better answer, you will thrive here.

Responsibilities

Lead the monthly and quarterly close process from start to finish, ensuring SHP meets its reporting obligations on time and with precision. This includes managing the full close cycle, account reconciliations, and financial reporting packages, all executed with the rigor expected of a publicly traded parent company.
Streamline and improve the close process, including evaluating and implementing the tools and workflows needed to drive efficiency and scalability as SHP grows.
Be the go-to authority on how SHP recognizes revenue under ASC 606, evaluating performance obligations, standalone selling price allocations, contract modifications, and variable consideration.
Scale revenue recognition processes, building repeatable frameworks that ensure consistent GAAP reporting as the business grows in complexity and volume.
Serve as the directly responsible individual for SHP's enterprise resource planning (ERP) migration. This means owning the chart of accounts design, data mapping, user acceptance testing, and go-live execution.
Work cross-functionally with IT, operations, and finance to make sure the new system is designed to support where SHP is headed, not just where we are today.
Serve as a trusted partner to leaders across the organization, helping translate financial data into actionable insight.
Work with the product team on pricing decisions, collaborate with sales on deal structure, and partner with IT on systems design, bringing a financial perspective that helps the business make better decisions.
Mentor the team through complex accounting judgments, help them grow professionally, and build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Set the standard for what great looks like and create an environment for others to do their best work.
Identify bottlenecks, eliminate manual work, strengthen internal controls, and build scalable processes that support SHP's growth.
Fix processes that do not make sense.
