What does it take to turn a distressed company into a scalable powerhouse? Doug, Matt, and Emily are joined by Ximena Maynard, CFO of Legacy Management, to find out.
Known as a financial “SWAT team” leader, Ximena shares her journey from managing 30 disconnected QuickBooks files to streamlining 11 nursing home facilities with Sage Intacct. The group dives deep into the specific challenges of the senior living industry—from strict “floor spending” regulatory mandates to the complexities of Medicaid billing. Ximena also opens up about her tech stack, contrasting the highs of automated inter-entity transactions against the real-world hurdles of EMR integrations.
Why tune in? Whether you’re in healthcare finance or just love a good turnaround story, this episode is packed with operational wisdom on scaling without losing control. Plus, stick around for the end—Matt almost guesses the punchline to a dog-themed dad joke.
