Penobscot Community Health Care (PCHC) is seeking a Financial Analyst who brings together deep accounting expertise and strong analytical thinking to help drive better decisions across a large, complex healthcare organization.

This is not a “pure reporting” role. It’s a hands‑on, high‑visibility position for someone who enjoys owning the numbers, understanding what’s behind them, and helping leadership not only understand trends, risks, and opportunities, but act on them.

You’ll work closely with department and medical leaders, the Controller, and the CFO—translating accounting data into clear insights, strengthening financial literacy across the organization, and helping leadership understand trends, risks, and opportunities.

Schedule: Full-time, Salaried, Monday-Friday, Benefit Eligible (Hybrid remote schedule, with in-person work expected at PCHC Administration in Bangor, Maine. Candidate must be eligible per PCHC's Telecommuting Policy.)

Reconcile departmental financial activity and ensure accuracy, completeness, and timeliness
Partner closely with Accounting and Grants staff to ensure clean financial reporting

Prepare and explain monthly financial statements, variance analyses, and performance reports
Serve as the primary finance partner for assigned departments—helping leaders understand their results, budgets, and forecasts

Budgeting, Forecasting & Modeling

Collaborate with department leaders to develop quarterly forecasts and annual operating budgets, and monitor performance against them
Build draft budgets for review by the CFO and leadership team
Support development of organizational operating and capital budgets, including allocations
Develop financial models, benchmarking analyses, and scenario analyses to support decision‑making

Strategic & Organizational Impact

Build dashboards and metrics that clearly communicate financial performance
Prepare departmental metrics for Board‑level financial reporting
Support special projects, new service line analysis, and revenue assessments
Assist with HRSA and other grant reporting and data requests
Drive process improvements that strengthen financial controls, reporting quality, and operational effectiveness

What Success Looks Like

Monthly closes for your areas are accurate, timely, and well‑explained
Financial data is turned into insights that leadership can use—and act on
Budgets and forecasts are thoughtful, defensible, and aligned with strategy
You bring structure, clarity, and curiosity to complex financial questions
