Billing & Finance
- Make sure payments are entered and processed the same day.
- Manage communication with our external billing service.
- Track weekly financials, including income and expenses by provider.
- Calculate and send weekly payroll reports and handle clinician compensation.
- Help with bookkeeping and confirm that payments match the sessions billed.
HR & Multi-State Compliance
- Onboard new team members through Rippling and maintain accurate employee and contractor records.
- Support multi-state payroll and employer tax registrations as the practice adds clinicians in new states.
- Coordinate records requests, subpoenas and other compliance matters in partnership with leadership.
- Help maintain practice SOPs, contract templates and administrative documentation.
Hiring & Onboarding

- Onboard new clinicians into practice systems and directories (SimplePractice, Zocdoc, Headway, CAQH, Slack and more).
- Directories, Website & Marketing
- Maintain clinician profiles on Psychology Today and other directories.
- Keep the WRP website up to date with clinician bios, services and practice announcements.
- Send weekly patient surveys and monthly clinician feedback forms.
- Work with the team on strategies to improve the client experience and grow the practice.
Operations
- Support daily administrative work remotely, in collaboration with the General Manager and clinic directors.
- Make sure patient portals and scheduling platforms are used efficiently.
- Be on call during business hours and respond quickly to the team by phone, Slack or email.

- Help plan and carry out operational improvements, hiring goals and client acquisition strategies.
- Help track KPIs, clinician productivity and patient feedback to guide decisions.
