For more than 25 years, I have held chief financial leadership roles at prominent health systems nationwide, guiding organizations through complex challenges and driving transformative results. Each of these roles shared a dynamic healthcare landscape, consistently presenting new challenges that demanded robust financial stability and adaptability. Throughout my career, I have taken an active, hands-on approach to leadership, dedicating myself to enhancing financial operations and cultivating a supportive environment that allowed my colleagues to excel in financial management. My commitment centers on empowering teams, streamlining processes, and fostering professional growth to ensure both individual and organizational success. What has helped me succeed is creating a tight bond between strategic plans and the financial planning and analysis processes. Financial systems have a functional or practical life cycle that requires routine updating to remain effective. In my CFO roles, I revamped the approach to budgeting and performance management by integrating comprehensive strategies that included clinical effectiveness, quality and safety, workforce management, and financial sustainability. This holistic methodology ensures that every aspect of the organization’s operation contributes to both immediate and long-term success. As CFO, I have elevated financial operations to new levels of performance, ensuring that our revenue cycle runs efficiently, supply chains operate seamlessly, and financial reports accurately reflect our results. My leadership has driven the implementation of robust financial systems that empower data-driven decision-making, enabling the organization to achieve both operational excellence and strategic growth. I founded Hollings Consulting Group (HCG) to support healthcare organizations seeking expert, part-time executive financial leadership. My consulting services are tailored for organizations experiencing persistent operating losses or those requiring focused executive-level management for critical initiatives. By delivering specialized, results-oriented expertise rather than simply fulfilling a traditional role, I enable my clients to overcome chronic financial challenges and achieve maintainable long-term success. My career began with an accounting degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Collat School of Business. Throughout my career, I have relentlessly pursued and implemented industry-leading best practices, rigorously evaluating and adapting innovative strategies that drive measurable improvements. My proactive approach ensures that each organization I serve benefits from transformative solutions that deliver immediate and lasting impact.
