• Apply U.S. GAAP and accrual-basis accounting principles consistently across multiple entities, locations, departments, and service lines.
• Prepare monthly financial reports and assist with budget-to-actual comparisons, variance analysis, and other management reporting for the CFO.
• Collaborate with the Payroll Lead and Billing Manager to reconcile payroll, billing, collections, revenue, and related accounting activity.
• Support year-end financial statement audits or reviews by preparing schedules, gathering documentation, and coordinating with external accountants and tax advisors.
• Identify opportunities to improve accounting procedures, internal controls, reporting accuracy, and month-end close efficiency.
• Maintain and improve accounting workflows using QuickBooks Online, Excel, Power BI, Reach Reporting, or similar tools.
• Assist the CFO with ad hoc financial analysis, reporting requests, and accounting projects as needed.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including hands-on responsibility for month-end close and financial reporting.
• Previous experience as an Accounting Manager, Assistant Controller, Senior Accountant, or in a comparable role with increasing responsibilities.
• Strong knowledge of U.S. GAAP and accrual-basis accounting, preferably within a U.S.-based company.
• Experience preparing financial statements, reconciling balance-sheet accounts, reviewing general ledger activity, and maintaining accurate accounting records.
• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel.
• Excellent written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate financial information clearly and collaborate directly with the CFO.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage deadlines and work independently in a remote environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• CPA designation or progress toward a relevant accounting certification.
• Experience in healthcare services, particularly home health, homecare, hospice, or other multi-location service organizations.
• Experience supporting companies with $25 million or more in annual revenue.
• Familiarity with accounting across multiple legal entities, locations, departments, or service lines.
• Experience supporting external financial statement audits or reviews.
• Exposure to process improvement initiatives, accounting automation, and month-end close optimization.
• Familiarity with Homecare Homebase (HCHB), AxisCare, Power BI, Reach Reporting, or similar healthcare and financial reporting systems.

Work Schedule

Full-time, 40 hours per week, with required overlap with U.S. business hours. The final schedule will be agreed upon with the selected candidate.
