Job Summary
We're looking for a detail-oriented Staff Accountant to support the day-to-day accounting operations of the business. This role handles the transactional backbone of our finances—accounts payable and receivable, billing, reconciliations, and month-end close support—while gaining exposure to multi-state operations, subcontractor management, and Medicaid billing. You'll work closely with the accounting and operations teams and have a clear path to grow your responsibilities over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Process accounts payable, including subcontractor invoices, vendor bills, and expense entries, ensuring proper coding, approval, and documentation.
- Support accounts receivable and billing, including preparing and submitting invoices to MCOs and other payers and tracking outstanding balances.
- Reconcile bank accounts, credit cards, and general ledger accounts on a regular basis.
- Assist with month-end and year-end close activities, including journal entries and account analysis.
- Help maintain accurate records in our accounting system and keep supporting documentation organized and audit-ready.
- Assist with vendor and subcontractor setup, W-9 collection, and 1099 preparation.
- Support sales tax and multi-state compliance tasks under the guidance of senior accounting staff.
- Research and help resolve billing, payment, and account discrepancies.
- Prepare reports and schedules to support management and financial reporting.
- Contribute to improving accounting processes and documentation as the company grows.
- Support materials ordering and other operations functions as needed.
Qualifications
- Prior accounting or bookkeeping experience (internship, part-time, or full-time).
- Solid understanding of basic accounting principles (debits/credits, the general ledger, accruals).
- Comfortable working in accounting software and spreadsheets; able to learn new systems quickly.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy, with good organizational habits.
- Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines while keeping work well documented.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, and comfort working with vendors, subcontractors, and internal teams.
- A reliable, trustworthy approach to handling confidential financial and client information.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to construction, contracting, home services, or healthcare/Medicaid billing.
- Experience with cloud-based accounting platforms (e.g., Xero).
- Familiarity with accounts payable/receivable workflows in a multi-entity or multi-state environment.
- Working knowledge of Excel functions such as formulas, filtering, and pivot tables.
Why Join Us
- Broad exposure across the full accounting cycle, not just one narrow function.
- A growing company where your work has visible impact and room to advance.
- Mission-driven work that helps people stay safe and independent at home.
- A collaborative team that will invest in your development.
