Daybreak Health is seeking a Finance Analyst to sit at the center of the finance function, balancing accounting and financial planning responsibilities. You will own the month-end close process, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting for leadership, the board, and investors. Simultaneously, you'll build and maintain financial models that drive forecasting, budgeting, and investment decisions.
Daybreak's business model—revenue from school district contracts and insurance reimbursement, with clinician pay as the largest cost—creates unique accounting and modeling challenges. You'll develop driver-based revenue and margin models that capture contract pricing, clinician capacity and utilization, payer mix, and state-level economics.
Key responsibilities include:
**Financial Modeling & Forecasting:** Build and maintain core operating models linking revenue, clinician cost, and margin to the three financial statements. Develop driver-based revenue and margin models. Own the annual budget and rolling forecast process. Run scenario and sensitivity analyses. Model new districts, markets, payer contracts, and major investments with ROI analysis. Support board and investor reporting with auditable, well-documented outputs.
**Month-End Close:** Run the close process end-to-end, maintaining the close calendar and checklist. Prepare journal entries (accruals, prepaids, deferrals, depreciation, amortization). Prepare month-end accruals for clinician compensation and vendor expenses. Reconcile bank, credit card, payroll, and clearing accounts. Tie subledgers and operational systems to the general ledger. Produce monthly financial statements and close packages with clear written explanations. Continuously improve the close through documentation, controls, and automation.
**Revenue & Receivables Accounting:** Support revenue recognition across district contracts and insurance reimbursement, including contractual adjustments and deferred revenue. Track AR aging and reconcile billing-system balances to the GL. Partner with Revenue Cycle and Operations to resolve discrepancies.
**Analysis & Business Partnering:** Perform monthly budget-to-actual and variance analysis. Partner with department leaders across Clinical, Operations, Revenue Cycle, and Go-to-Market to understand drivers of revenue, cost, and margin. Analyze unit economics by state, contract, and payer. Build and maintain recurring reports and KPI tracking. Use BI tools and AI-assisted analysis alongside Excel.
**Audit, Tax & Compliance:** Prepare schedules and support for annual audits, tax filings, and diligence requests. Maintain clear documentation and audit trails. Help develop accounting policies and internal controls.
You'll work directly with the Sr. Director of Finance, who will review your work and shape your growth. This role suits someone who wants both sides of finance: an accountant ready to grow into modeling and FP&A, or an analyst with strong modeling skills and a solid accounting foundation.
**Requirements:**
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, or a degree in finance or related field with substantial accounting coursework. Candidates without an accounting degree must have significant hands-on accounting experience.
- 2–4 years of accounting or finance experience, including hands-on responsibility for month-end close activities and exposure to budgeting, forecasting, or financial planning.
- Demonstrated financial modeling experience: you've built or significantly maintained models such as an operating model, budget, forecast, or driver-based revenue model, and can explain how they work.
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and accrual accounting, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and flux analysis.
- Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills, including lookups, conditional aggregation, and well-structured, auditable models.
- Hands-on experience with a modern GL/accounting system (QuickBooks, NetSuite, or similar).
- Curiosity about the business and comfort partnering with non-finance stakeholders, with clear written and verbal communication.
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to meet deadlines and manage competing priorities independently in a remote setting.
**Nice to Have:**
- CPA or CPA candidacy.
- Experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or business partnering at a startup or high-growth company.
- Experience in healthcare, health tech, revenue cycle, insurance billing, or K-12 contracts.
- Experience with revenue recognition (ASC 606) and AR for variable or third-party payer revenue.
- Experience with planning tools (such as Adaptive) and with dashboarding or BI tools.
- Comfort using AI tools to speed up analysis.
- Experience supporting audits, tax filings, or investor reporting.
