    Position Summary 

    We are seeking a high-performing Senior Accountant with a strong public accounting foundation who wants to move beyond audit and help build a rapidly growing, multi-site healthcare organization.

    Process Improvement, Systems & Special Projects 

    • Identify and implement improvements to close processes, reconciliations, reporting workflows, and accounting controls. 
    • Assist with ERP, payroll, accounting, and reporting system improvements or future system implementations. 
    • Support setup and accounting development for new entities and affiliated ventures, including real estate, leasing, hospitality, and other investment activities. 
    • Assist with company purchasing and vendor-related processes, including Amazon account administration and supplies oversight where needed. 
    • Create and maintain clear accounting policies, desktop procedures, and repeatable workflows as the company scales. 

    Leadership & Growth Potential 

    • Provide review, coaching, and support to accounting staff over time as the team grows. 
    • Help oversee AP, mail, supplies, and cross-functional accounting workflows as needed.

    • Demonstrate readiness to grow into broader Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, or Controller-track responsibilities.
