About the Company

We are a growing, private-equity-backed healthcare engagement company with a dynamic, entrepreneurial culture and significant opportunities for continued growth. As we expand, we are looking for talented finance and accounting professionals who want to grow with the organization and play an increasingly important role in building a world-class finance function.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior Accountant to join our growing accounting team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious accounting professional who wants more than a traditional accounting role.

The ideal candidate will have strong technical accounting and analytical skills, a high level of intellectual curiosity, a desire to take on increasing responsibility, and a genuine interest in using artificial intelligence to transform accounting and finance processes.

This person will have the opportunity to work across a broad range of accounting and financial activities while helping identify and implement new technologies, automation, and AI-enabled solutions. We are particularly interested in someone with significant long-term potential who could grow into a management or broader finance leadership role as the company continues to expand.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform and oversee key month-end and year-end close activities, including account reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, and analysis.
• Prepare and analyze financial statements and supporting schedules.

• Participate in special projects, acquisitions, system implementations, and other strategic initiatives as needed.

AI & Innovation Expectations

AI is an important part of the future of our finance organization. We are looking for someone who is excited—not intimidated—by the opportunity to rethink how accounting work gets done.

The successful candidate will:

• Have a strong interest in AI, automation, and emerging technology.
• Be willing to experiment with new tools and approaches.
• Look for opportunities to eliminate manual, repetitive work.
• Think critically about how AI can improve accuracy, speed, and decision-making.
• Develop the ability to use AI tools effectively while maintaining appropriate accounting judgment, confidentiality, and internal controls.
• Help establish best practices for responsible use of AI within the accounting function.

You do not need to be an AI expert. We are looking for someone who is curious, analytical, willing to learn, and excited about the possibilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Approximately 3–6 years of progressive accounting experience .
• Strong understanding of GAAP and fundamental accounting principles.
• Experience with month-end close, reconciliations, journal entries, and financial reporting.

• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.

CPA or progress toward a CPA is a plus, but not required.

What We're Looking For

• Takes ownership and looks for ways to make things better.

• Is comfortable in a growing, changing environment.
• Has the ambition to take on increasing responsibility.
