The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Kaiser Permanente is hiring a Finance Manager in Metairie, LA.

• Role description

  A Finance Manager who can defend a number to an auditor and sell it to a board is rare; Kaiser Permanente is hiring exactly that. Consider the trade: your 8 years of Accounts Payable for $105,000 - $166,000, a freelance schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Generate ad hoc reports combining Variance Analysis and SOX Compliance for finance leadership
  • Run the cost-accounting layer beneath every finance product line
  • Streamline month-end close to reduce reporting turnaround time
  • Build the Account Reconciliation model that finally retires the manual workbook
  • Build the finance P&L bridge that explains every dollar of swing
  • Watch DSO and DPO together, not as isolated numbers

  What You'll Bring

  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
  • Hands-on experience with modern Variance Analysis workflows and tooling
  • Working understanding of both Account Reconciliation and Variance Analysis in real-world settings
  • 8+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions
  • Ability to learn new finance systems quickly and apply them effectively
  • The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time

  Out of a converted warehouse in Metairie, Kaiser Permanente has quietly grown into a trust-the-team force shaping how finance gets done. Our LA team treats transparency as a feature, sharing the messy middle, not just the wins.

  The package is honest: $105,000 - $166,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Metairie, LA.

  Open today, open right now, and waiting for the right Finance Manager.
