Full Job Description
About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Accountant to join our growing finance team and play a dual role: anchoring a rigorous month-end close and owning the operational systems that keep our day-to-day financials running. This is a growth stage accounting role in the fullest sense - you will do both technical accounting and operational work, and you will have real ownership of each.

Reporting to the Accounting Lead, you will be a cornerstone of the monthly close - preparing journal entries, owning reconciliations, and building audit-ready workpapers. At the same time, you will be the internal owner of our Ramp platform, managing accounts payable, employee expense reports, and corporate card spend end-to-end. These two tracks reinforce each other: the cleaner our operational processes, the cleaner our close.

We want someone who is genuinely curious about AI and automation - not just open to it, but actively looking for ways to use it. You'll be expected to dig into our workflows, identify inefficiencies, and propose and implement improvements.

This role is full-time and located at Nourish's NYC office in the heart of Gramercy, with remote flexibility. Occasional travel expected (e.g. to conferences, quarterly team meetings, etc.)
Key Responsibilities:
  • Own assigned areas of the monthly, quarterly, and annual close, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare journal entries, accruals, and detailed balance sheet reconciliations with clear supporting documentation
  • Manage the end-to-end accounts payable, expense reporting and credit card processes within Ramp ensuring policy compliance, timely processing and account coding
  • Maintain and improve audit-ready workpapers and supporting schedules, building on the foundation established in our first audit
  • Proactively identify inefficiencies in accounting workflows and own the implementation of improvements
  • Bring curiosity and initiative to AI and automation - evaluate tools, run experiments, build AI workflows to automate manual/repeatable work, and implement solutions that make the team faster without sacrificing accuracy
  • Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Operations, HR, and other teams to ensure accurate financial data
  • Support special projects such as GAAP conversion, new entity consolidation and automation initiatives
We'd love to hear from you if:
  • You have a bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
  • You have 3-5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with previous public accounting experience (Big 4 & CPA preferred)
  • You have a strong knowledge of US GAAP, month-end close and audit processes
  • You have experience with spend management platforms - ideally Ramp - and are comfortable owning AP and expense operations, not just accounting for them
  • You are curious about AI and automation and have a track record of finding and implementing workflow improvements - not just flagging them
  • You are detail-oriented, organized, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • Experience working with modern accounting systems and tools (e.g., Campfire, Ramp, Brex, ADP, Carta, QuickBooks, NetSuite) is a plus
  • Experience in healthcare, health-tech, or telehealth a plus
