Senior Accounting Analyst

Description

Are you an experienced accounting professional who enjoys going beyond the numbers? Do you have a strong understanding of financial analysis, compliance, grants, reimbursement, and the operational side of healthcare or behavioral health?

Riverbend Community Mental Health is seeking a highly analytical, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused Senior Accounting Analyst to join our Finance team and play a critical role in supporting the financial health, compliance, and long-term sustainability of our organization.

This is an opportunity to bring your accounting expertise into a mission-driven environment where financial stewardship directly supports access to behavioral health services and strengthens the communities we serve.

As a Senior Accounting Analyst, you will serve as a key financial resource across the organization, supporting complex accounting functions, financial reporting, CCBHC reimbursement methodologies, grant accounting, budgeting, financial analysis, and regulatory compliance. You will help ensure that Riverbend's financial practices remain accurate, efficient, compliant, and aligned with the evolving requirements of a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC).

This position is ideal for an accounting professional who is naturally curious, enjoys solving complex problems, can translate financial information into meaningful business insights, and wants to have a broader organizational impact.

CCBHC operations bring together complex reimbursement methodologies, grant requirements, healthcare regulations, cost allocation, financial reporting, and organizational performance. As our Senior Accounting Analyst, you will help connect those pieces.

Your work will help leadership understand financial trends, optimize resources, strengthen internal controls, maximize appropriate reimbursement, maintain grant compliance, and make informed decisions about programs, staffing, services, and future growth. You won't simply be reporting what happened financially—you'll help explain why it happened, identify opportunities, and help determine what comes next.

If you’re looking for meaningful work, a strong team culture, and real opportunities for professional growth through training, certifications, and advancement—Riverbend is the place to build your future while making a difference.
