Financial Strategy and Compliance Support for Community Health Centers

Cris Julian partners with Community Health Center leadership teams to strengthen financial oversight, improve operational performance, and ensure alignment with federal compliance requirements.

Specialized Consulting Services

Every health center’s needs are different. Cris Julian Consulting provides focused support in four core areas, ranging from targeted technical assistance to organization-wide financial recovery and leadership support.

FQHC & Look-Alike Readiness

Comprehensive readiness reviews designed to identify compliance gaps, clarify risk, and help leadership understand what must be corrected before an Operational Site Visit or Look-Alike designation review.

Financial Recovery & Turnaround

Support for health centers facing cash pressure, recurring losses, weak financial reporting, revenue cycle problems, leadership turnover, or broader financial instability.

Fractional & Interim CFO Support

CFO-level financial leadership for health centers navigating transition, growth, recovery, or a period when a permanent full-time CFO is not the right solution.

Financial Compliance & Technical Assistance

Targeted support for specific financial and compliance issues, including sliding fee, billing and collections, contracts, grants, internal controls, board oversight, and related Health Center Program requirements.
