About The Position

At KLAS, our mission is clear: improve healthcare by amplifying truth through collaboration, insights, and transparency. As Director of Finance / Controller, you will provide the financial leadership that supports that mission by overseeing financial strategy, accounting operations, planning, reporting, and business decision support. This role is intentionally broader than a traditional Controller position, combining the accounting discipline needed for accurate reporting, controls, compliance, and close processes with the forward-looking FP&A leadership required for budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, business partnership, and strategic decision-making. Because of KLAS' size, complexity, and growth stage, the ideal candidate will also bring strong data modeling capabilities beyond the traditional P&L, connecting financial, operational, sales, customer, and other business datasets to uncover insights, explain performance drivers, and help position KLAS for continued growth and long-term success.
