Position Overview

Kinder Konsulting is seeking an experienced Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to serve in a Compliance and Quality Assurance role focused on documentation integrity, ethical service delivery, and audit readiness.

This position is nonclinical, nonbillable, and advisory in nature. The Compliance BCBA will not provide direct services, supervise staff, or manage clinicians. Instead, this role exists to provide independent, objective review of clinical documentation within our EMR system and to deliver clear, written audit summaries to clinic leadership.

We are a small earlychildhood clinic serving approximately 30 clients total, primarily in clinic and childcare settings. Our goal is to ensure services are ethical, individualized, medically necessary, and defensible in the event of an audit.

• Review documentation through the lens of the BACB Ethics Code
• Identify potential ethical concerns related to:
  • Service delivery

  • Authorization alignment
  • Supervision requirements
• Flag trends or patterns that may pose audit or recoupment risk

Written Deliverables (Core Function of the Role)

• Provide structured, written audit summaries only
• Deliverables may include:
  • Clientlevel documentation audit summaries (as needed)
  • Periodic BCBAspecific documentation reviews (approximately four BCBAs)
  • Written identification of compliance risks, ethical concerns, and documentation gaps

Role Boundaries & Authority

• Advisory and evaluative role only
• No staff supervision, coaching, or discipline
• No direct communication with BCBAs regarding findings
• No clinical decisionmaking authority
• Required Qualifications
• Significant experience in ABA service delivery and documentation
• Prior experience in a supervisory, clinical lead, program director, or QA role
• Strong working knowledge of the BACB Ethics Code
• Experience with early childhood populations
• Exceptional attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of Medicaid ABA billing requirements (Florida preferred)

  • Clinical audits
  • Quality assurance or compliance roles
• Experience working within an ABA or behavioral health EMR system

Work Structure & Time Commitment

• Fully remote
• Contract (1099) position
• Flexible, selfdirected schedule
• Average commitment of approximately 810 hours per week

Hours may fluctuate based on clinic needs:

• Initial time commitment may be slightly higher as documentation patterns are reviewed and expectations are established
