Staff Accountant – Operations & Process Improvement

Remote Staff Accountant role supporting a growing healthcare services organization. This position combines hands-on accounting responsibilities with ownership of core processes and opportunities to improve systems, automation, and financial workflows within a lean finance team.

Position Overview

The Staff Accountant plays a key role in day-to-day accounting operations while helping the finance function scale alongside company growth. This role balances execution of core accounting processes with continuous improvement of systems, workflows, and documentation.

This is a newly created role driven by significant growth, with business volume expected to approximately double in 2026. The position is critical to ensuring accounting operations remain accurate, efficient, and scalable.

The ideal candidate is comfortable owning processes end-to-end—executing detailed work accurately while identifying opportunities to improve, automate, and streamline how that work is performed over time.

This is a fully remote position in a high-trust environment where performance is measured by output, reliability, and accountability.

The organization is intentionally investing in automation and AI to reduce manual, repetitive work over time—not to eliminate roles, but to avoid scaling headcount with low-value tasks. The expectation is that this role owns processes as they exist today while actively improving them for the future. The right candidate is comfortable handling detailed, transactional work while continuously identifying opportunities to streamline, automate, or eliminate inefficiencies.

Core Responsibilities

• Support the month-end close process, including preparation of supporting schedules and completion of assigned close tasks
• Prepare and post journal entries with appropriate supporting documentation
• Perform account reconciliations, investigate variances, and resolve discrepancies
• Manage and take ownership of the accounts payable process, including vendor setup, bill entry, and payment workflows in Bill.com
• Support accounts receivable accounting, including recording invoices generated through operational systems
• Assist with payroll-related accounting, including journal entries and reconciliation of payroll-related accounts
• Perform Excel-based data analysis to support reconciliations, validation, and financial accuracy
• Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for assigned processes
• Identify and implement process improvements, automation opportunities, and workflow enhancements
• Contribute to ad hoc accounting and finance projects

  This role requires strong ownership of assigned processes, including both execution and continuous improvement.

  How Time Is Typically Spent

  Work in this role is a mix of operational accounting responsibilities and process-focused improvement work. While responsibilities may vary, a typical allocation of time may look like:

• Month-end close & reconciliations (30-40%)
• Accounts payable & transaction processing (25-35%)
• Accounts receivable & payroll support (15-20%)
• Process improvement & automation (10-20%)

  The role includes a meaningful amount of detail-oriented, transactional work. The expectation is not just to complete this work, but to take ownership of the process, ensure accuracy, and continuously improve how it is performed—leveraging automation and AI where appropriate to reduce repetitive effort over time.

  Systems and Tools

• Accounting Software: QuickBooks Online (current), with expected involvement in a future system implementation (e.g., NetSuite)
• Payroll / HR System: Paycor
• Accounts Payable / Expense Management: Bill.com and Expensify

• Strong Excel skills, including data analysis and working with large datasets
• Experience with QuickBooks Online or similar accounting systems
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment with consistent communication and accountability

• Familiarity with payroll accounting processes

  Skills and Competencies

  Growth and Development

  The organization values internal development and advancement as the company grows. Employees who demonstrate strong performance, ownership, and initiative may have opportunities to take on expanded responsibilities over time.

  What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Reliably manage core accounting processes (AP, AR, reconciliations, journal entries) with accuracy and consistency
• Meet month-end close deadlines with well-organized and supportable documentation
• Maintain clear and effective SOP documentation for owned processes
• Use Excel effectively to support accounting operations and data validation
