About The Role

Veritas Veterinary Partners seeks an analytical, hospital-minded Director, Financial Planning & Analysis to turn Partner Hospital data into revenue growth and stronger EBITDA performance.

The Director, Financial Planning & Analysis owns hospital-level financial analytics across the network, working side by side with hospital directors, regional operations leaders and medical directors to understand what drives case volume, revenue and margin in a 24-hour specialty and emergency setting.

This role builds the hospital budgets, forecasts and performance reporting that roll up to the enterprise plan and leads the financial analysts who support that work. It is a strong fit for a finance leader who enjoys getting close to operations and helping hospital teams see the numbers behind the care they deliver.

• Evaluate pricing performance and fee schedule changes across Partner Hospitals, including the effect of discounts, write-offs and uncollected balances.

• Build hospital-level EBITDA bridges that show the revenue, labor and expense factors behind changes in performance.
• Identify underperforming hospitals and service lines and develop improvement plans with measurable EBITDA targets in partnership with Operations.

• Lead the annual budget build for each Partner Hospital, partnering with hospital directors and medical directors on volume, staffing, pricing and capital assumptions.
• Maintain monthly hospital-level forecasts that roll up to the enterprise forecast owned by the VP, Financial Planning & Analysis.
• Project doctor compensation expense under production-based and salary models, including the effect of new hires, departures and compensation changes on hospital margin.
