About Passage Health
Passage Health is a fast-growing Series A startup on a mission to improve the quality and accessibility of autism care through technology. The diagnosis rate for autism has surged over the past decade to 1 in 31 children. Yet families still face waitlists of up to a year for care, as providers struggle to meet demand with outdated systems and manual workflows.
We’re building the platform that powers autism care providers’ entire business—from clinical documentation to operations to billing—modernizing how care is delivered and scaling access across a $460B market.
Over the past year, Passage has grown more than 3x year over year, driven by strong customer demand and expanding partnerships across the autism care ecosystem. As we continue to scale, we’re focused on building durable foundations across the company, including the financial systems, processes, and decision-making needed to support long-term growth.
About the role
We’re hiring a Head of Finance to build and lead the finance function at Passage Health. This is our first dedicated finance hire and a highly visible role that will report directly to the CEO and partner closely with leaders across the company.

The work spans day-to-day finance operations, financial planning and forecasting, and strategic evaluation as the company scales.
This is an ideal role for someone with strong finance fundamentals who enjoys operating close to the business and wants meaningful ownership in an early-stage environment.
