About United & Empowered Care

United & Empowered Care is a mission-driven organization dedicated to providing high-quality care and support services across the Hampton Roads community. We believe that empowering our staff allows us to deliver the highest standard of care to those we serve.

Why Make the Pivot? The Perks of Going Internal:

If you are currently surviving the grueling "busy season" cycles of public accounting, endless billable hours, and constant client turnover, this role offers a refreshing rewrite of your career path:

• True Work-Life Balance: Say goodbye to 70-hour weeks. Enjoy a predictable, stable Monday–Friday schedule with reasonable hours year-round.
• No More Billable Hours: Shift your focus from tracking every 15 minutes of your day to driving real, long-term organizational value.
• Instead of juggling dozens of external clients, you will deeply understand, manage, and optimize the financial health of a single, meaningful organization.
• Purpose-Driven Work: Your financial expertise directly supports a company that cares for and empowers members of your local Hampton Roads community.

Key Responsibilities:

• Financial Oversight & Reporting: Manage day-to-day corporate accounting functions, including general ledger maintenance, monthly/quarterly closing processes, medical billing, Invoicing, and the preparation of accurate financial statements.
• Regulatory & Tax Compliance: Oversee state, federal, and local tax filings, ensure compliance with healthcare/care industry regulations, and process and manage any specialized payroll reporting requirements.
• Budgeting & Forecasting: Collaborate with executive leadership to design, monitor, and optimize annual operational budgets and cash flow projections.
• Internal Controls & Audit Prep: Establish, maintain, and enforce robust internal control systems to protect company assets and lead the preparation for external annual audits.
• Strategic Advising: Translate complex financial metrics and data into plain, actionable advice to help executive leadership make informed business decisions.
