About The Position

HealthBridge Financial is seeking a hands-on Director of FP&A to lead financial planning, performance management, treasury, and lender relationship management. This is a player-coach role for an experienced finance leader who can design the company’s KPI framework, build sophisticated models, manage day-to-day lending relationships, and personally execute the analytical work required to support executive decision-making.

• Extensive experience with asset-backed lending and complex lending structures.
