Chief Financial Officer

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO)Good Shepherd Community Clinic, Inc. | Ardmore, OklahomaFull-Time, Exempt | Reports to CEO | Supervises: Financial Controller, Revenue Cycle Director

You're good at the technical side of healthcare finance. Really good. But somewhere along the way, your role became about producing reports for people who don't read them, defending budgets in organizations that don't act on them, and doing high-level work inside a low-trust culture.

You want to be at a table where your analysis actually drives decisions. You want a CEO who speaks your language and a leadership team that holds itself accountable. You want the work to mean something — not just to the bottom line, but to the people being served.

That's what this role is.Good Shepherd Community Clinic, Inc. (GSCC) is a mission-driven, multi-site Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Ardmore, Oklahoma. We serve roughly 10,000 patients a year across medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and women's health — and we do it for the people who need it most. We are in an intentional season of growth, and we need a CFO who is ready to lead from the front.

THE ROLEThis is not a back-office accounting position. The CFO at GSCC is a core executive — a strategic partner to the CEO and Board who owns the full financial function and helps translate vision into financial reality.

You will own financial planning, revenue cycle performance, payer strategy, compliance, 340B program oversight, and long-range capital planning. You will help build dashboards that give our leadership team real-time visibility into performance. You will sit across the table from Medicaid managed care directors and negotiate. You will teach our department directors how to read a budget and actually manage to it.

And you will do all of this inside a team-based leadership model where executive decisions are made collaboratively, where your voice matters, and where the work is genuinely high-stakes and high-impact.

A 4-day work week and 34-36 hour average. We work hard and we work smart. We also believe your life outside of work matters. This is not a perk we're testing — it's a commitment to how we operate.

Real ownership. You won't be a finance function buried under a COO. You will report directly to the CEO, sit at the executive table, and have genuine influence over organizational direction.

A CEO who is financially fluent. You won't be translating spreadsheets to someone who doesn't want to engage. The strategic financial conversation starts on day one.

Mission that is tangible. Our patients are the working poor, the uninsured, and the underserved in rural southern Oklahoma. Every dollar you steward goes directly toward people who have nowhere else to go. That is not abstract — you will see it.

A culture being built intentionally. We are investing in our people through YOUniversity, our internal leadership development program. We expect the CFO to be both a student and a teacher in that process.

Ardmore, Oklahoma. If you're not from here, come find out what you're missing. Southern Oklahoma is an affordable, tight-knit community with access to Lake Murray and Lake Texoma, a lower cost of living than most metros, and the kind of place where your work and your life can actually coexist. If you're already here, you know.

We believe you deserve honesty upfront.

FQHC finance is genuinely complex. The regulatory environment — HRSA compliance, UDS reporting, 340B, sliding fee, cost reports, federal grant conditions — is not a small lift. If you haven't lived inside an FQHC, there is a real learning curve and we want you to walk in with eyes open.

The finance function at GSCC is capable and committed, but it needs executive-level elevation. You will be building systems, raising the bar, and establishing new standards — not inheriting a fully optimized department.

We are a nonprofit safety-net provider, which means every budget decision involves a real tension between mission and margin. You will need to hold that tension well — with both financial discipline and genuine heart for the people we serve.

If that kind of complexity energizes you, keep reading.
