Strategic Finance Associate
Re‑architecting U.S. healthcare demands speed, precision, and an obsession with details. Cadence is building a remote care delivery system that keeps older people healthy, out of the hospital, and at home. By pairing each patient with a dedicated clinical team that reviews their health every day, versus every few months, we catch issues early and intervene before they escalate. The result: measurably better outcomes for patients and less administrative burden for clinicians.
Today, Cadence supports tens of thousands of active patients nationwide. Our AI‑powered system and scalable clinical model enable proactive, population‑level care. We’re among the fastest‑growing companies in healthtech, and we’re just getting started.
The Cadence Solutions team seeks a Strategic Finance Associate to serve as a finance operator and thought partner, helping Cadence scale its financial infrastructure, improve visibility into cost and margin drivers, and support critical decisions across the business.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
FP&A Systems, Automation & AI-Enabled Finance
- Help design and build Cadence’s next-generation FP&A infrastructure, including evaluation and implementation of a purpose-built planning tool.
- Identify, design, and automate manual financial workflows using modern tooling (including AI-enabled solutions) to improve speed, accuracy, and scalability.
- Leverage AI and automation tools to streamline modeling, reporting, and data analysis (e.g., reducing manual data manipulation and accelerating insights generation)
- Partner with Data and Engineering to ensure financial metrics are consistently defined, reliable, and scalable.
- Build and maintain scalable models and dashboards that improve visibility into business performance.
- Ensure finance outputs are actionable, trusted, and efficiently produced across teams.
Cost Tracking & Margin Visibility
- Develop and refine frameworks for tracking cost of care, operating expenses, and contribution margins across customers and programs.
- Build models that clearly explain changes in margins and unit economics over time.
- Partner with clinical, operations, and supply chain teams to understand cost drivers and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Translate complex financial data into clear insights that inform decision-making.
Investor Reporting & Board Materials
- Support preparation of board materials, investor updates, and internal reporting to leadership.
- Build models and analyses that underpin key narratives around growth, margins, and scalability.
- Help ensure consistency, accuracy, and clarity across all external-facing financial materials.
Financial Planning & Reporting
- Support monthly and quarterly forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis.
- Improve existing reporting processes to better highlight business drivers and actionable insights.
- Partner with Accounting during month-end close to ensure accurate financial outputs.
Pricing & Sales / Partnership Support
- Build pricing models to support sales and partnerships as they engage health system partners.
- Analyze tradeoffs between growth, cost, and long-term profitability.
- Support cross-functional teams in setting targets for partners and evaluating business performance.
- Over time, develop and own recommendations on pricing and unit economics for each health system.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- 3–5 years of experience in investment banking, consulting, or a high-growth startup finance role.
- Strong financial modeling skills (Excel / Google Sheets) with the ability to structure analyses from scratch.
- Demonstrated ability or strong interest in leveraging AI and automation tools to improve financial workflows and analysis (e.g., scripting, no-code tools, or AI-assisted modeling/reporting)
- Experience working with large datasets and translating data into actionable insights.
- High attention to detail with strong analytical rigor.
- Ability to clearly communicate complex financial concepts to non-finance stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities.
- Proactive mindset: ability to anticipate needs and take ownership without heavy direction.
- Strong business judgment and willingness to make recommendations, not just provide analysis.
- Desire to, and ability to be successful in, remote work.
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience evaluating or implementing FP&A / planning tools.

- Exposure to healthcare, SaaS, or marketplace business models.
- Experience supporting investor or board-level reporting.
- Familiarity with BI tools (e.g., Metabase, Looker, Tableau).
