Job Description
Senior Accountant overseeing core finance operations at a clinical technology startup. Automating systems and maintaining accuracy in financial reporting and processes.
Responsibilities:
- Own the end-to-end AP cycle with a bias toward automation-first design — actively reducing manual touchpoints in invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and payment disbursement
- Build and maintain smart aging and payment term workflows that proactively surface cash flow risks, with alerting and escalation handled programmatically where possible
- Enforce internal controls and approval hierarchies that are scalable by design — structured for audit-readiness as transaction volume grows
- Own the invoicing process end-to-end, with a focus on automating generation and distribution at scale across contract types, billing schedules, and revenue streams
- Drive a collections process supported by automated follow-up sequences, intelligent prioritization of delinquent accounts, and exception-based escalation workflows
- Build and maintain AR reconciliation infrastructure capable of handling high payment volumes across multiple processors with minimal manual intervention
- Produce AR aging and collections reporting through automated pipelines, with human review focused on exceptions and strategic decisions
- Maintain daily cash visibility through automated payment receipt reporting across all channels
- Prepare and post journal entries for accruals, prepayments, depreciation, and recurring transactions — with a priority on automating recurring entries and reducing manual posting over time
- Maintain general ledger integrity, including account coding standards and period-end close accuracy, and help build the control frameworks that make automation safe and auditable
- Lead month-end and year-end close contributions with a continuous improvement lens — identifying steps in the close process that can be templatized, accelerated, or automated
- Support financial statement preparation and variance analysis, building toward reporting that is increasingly self-serve and real-time
- Design and own reconciliation frameworks that scale — built to handle growing transaction volumes across bank accounts, payment processors, merchant accounts, and sub-ledgers with accuracy and speed
- Identify, investigate, and resolve discrepancies across platforms, with a focus on building detection logic that catches issues before they require manual discovery
- Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure data integrity between accounting systems and operational platforms, and help define the data standards that make automation reliable
- Build monitoring and exception-handling for scheduled vs. actual payment activity — flagging timing differences, failed transactions, and duplicates systematically
- Serve as a key driver of finance automation strategy — owning the identification, prioritization, and implementation of automation opportunities across AP, AR, reconciliation, and reporting
- Lead or co-lead the evaluation and rollout of AI tools, automation platforms, and system integrations that reduce manual effort and unlock scale
- Partner with finance and technology teams to implement intelligent solutions including automated data extraction, anomaly detection, workflow orchestration, and reporting pipelines
- Build and maintain documented, audit-ready automated processes — ensuring controls keep pace with automation adoption
- Stay ahead of the curve on emerging finance technology and proactively bring recommendations tied to clear business impact
Requirements:
- 4–7 years of progressive accounting experience, ideally in a high-growth or operationally complex environment
- Strong command of AP, AR, general ledger, and month-end close — you can own these functions independently and under deadline
- Hands-on experience with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, or similar) and a track record of pushing those tools to their limits
- Demonstrated experience building or improving reconciliation frameworks across high-volume, multi-platform transaction environments
- Practical experience with finance automation tools, AI-assisted workflows, or no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., Zapier, Make, Ramp, Brex, Vic.ai, or similar)
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with operations and technology teams to scope and implement system integrations
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills; experience with data tools like Python, SQL, or BI platforms is a plus
- CPA or CPA-track preferred, but not required — we care more about what you've built than what you've passed
- A continuous improvement mindset: you document what you build, you think in systems, and you leave processes better than you found them
- Sense of humor
Benefits:
- Health insurance
- 401(k) matching
- Paid time off
- Flexible work hours
- Professional development opportunities
