About the RoleWe are seeking an experienced accounting leader to develop and oversee a scalable accounting function within a rapidly growing environment. This position will have ownership of the month-end close, operational accounting activities, and the development of standardized processes across revenue, and operating expenses.
This is a hands-on, player-coach leadership role. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable developing the accounting team and improving processes while remaining directly involved in day-to-day accounting activities when needed.
Key Responsibilities - Manage the end-to-end monthly close process, ensuring financial results are accurate, timely, well-supported, and audit-ready.
- Maintain the accuracy and completeness of revenue and operating expenses.
- Develop and maintain account reconciliations that connect financial results to underlying operational activity.
- Identify discrepancies and resolve accounting issues before they impact reporting timelines.
- Develop, document, and maintain efficient accounts payable workflows, with a focus on achieving at least 99% accuracy and eliminating outstanding processing backlogs.
- Establish consistent accrual methodologies that accurately reflect business operations.
- Implement appropriate accounting controls to improve consistency, accuracy, and reliability across reporting periods.
- Continuously evaluate existing processes and identify opportunities for greater efficiency and scalability.
- Create repeatable processes that ensure operational data is accurately reflected in accounting and financial reporting.
- Investigate and resolve data discrepancies between systems.
- Develop practical solutions for working within a non-integrated systems environment without depending on major system implementations or overhauls.
- Provide direct leadership and oversight to accounting personnel, including Accounting Manager, AP, and Staff-level team members.
- Coach and develop team members while strengthening overall accounting capabilities.
- Remain actively involved in accounting execution and step into detailed work when necessary.
- Maintain organized, complete, and audit-ready accounting documentation.
- Serve as a key accounting contact in supporting external audit requests and providing required schedules and documentation.
Qualifications - 8-12+ years of progressive accounting experience.
- Demonstrated success building, improving, or restructuring accounting processes within a growing or rapidly changing organization.
- Strong operational accounting experience in addition to a solid understanding of U.S. GAAP.
- Experience operating in environments with multiple non-integrated systems or comparable data and process complexity.
- Hands-on experience with multi-entity accounting and consolidation.
- Proven ability to operate as a hands-on accounting leader rather than functioning exclusively in a supervisory capacity.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, organizational, and process-improvement skills.
- Previous accounting experience within healthcare, insurance, medical claims, or another liability-based accounting environment is preferred.
