CAREER PATHWAYS
Accounting
Healthcare accountants give an organization a clear picture of its position and financial well-being. They manage the technical details of an organization’s finances through documents such as statements and audits. By recording and keeping track of financial information that affects an organization’s assets, accountants can provide executive leadership with the information to make important decisions.
Finance
Financial managers in healthcare work in tandem with accountants but often have an overarching role, making decisions based on an organization’s current financial position. Using information from accounting, professionals in healthcare finance are able to make decisions in an organization’s best interests, forecasting trends and adapting budgets to manage risk, protect tax status, and invest in the future.
