Background

About Jake Sapper

As a Senior Financial Analyst at Ascension, I am part of a team that provides financial insights and guidance to one of the largest non-profit healthcare systems in the US. I have been working at Ascension for over three years, starting as a Financial Analyst and earning the Certified Healthcare Financial Professional (CHFP) credential in 2020. Prior to that, I was a Senior Accountant at Simon Property Group, where I handled various accounting and reporting tasks for the company's benefits and medical claims. With a background in accounting and finance, I have developed strong skills in social networking, accounts receivable, and accounting software, such as Oracle JD Edwards and Anaplan. My core competencies include reconciling and authorizing payments, recording and reviewing journal entries, performing month-end close duties, compiling and analyzing income statements, and completing budget and forecasting models. My mission is to support the financial stability and growth of Ascension and its affiliates, while ensuring compliance with accounting standards and regulations. I am passionate about healthcare finance and eager to learn from and collaborate with other professionals in this field. I value integrity, excellence, and innovation, and I strive to contribute to Ascension's vision of transforming healthcare and creating positive outcomes for the communities we serve.
