  • Contribute to strategic planning by evaluating financial risks and opportunities and helping drive long-term sustainability and growth.

What We’re Looking For:
  • Master’s degree in accounting or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • At least five years of progressive financial experience, including three years in nonprofit accounting and grants management.
  • Strong knowledge of budgeting, forecasting, and using financial data to inform strategic decisions.

Why Work at TPCA?
TPCA is a dynamic, team-oriented membership association that provides leadership, advocacy, and supportive expertise to the state’s community health centers. TPCA and our members are bonded by a shared purpose – ensuring all Tennesseans have access to quality and affordable health care.
