Role
Who you are
- This role is for someone with strong GAAP fundamentals and proven ownership across core accounting processes who can drive cross-functional accountability, deliver clean reconciliations and documentation, and continuously improve how the team operates
- Strong Foundation in Accounting: 5+ years of progressive accounting experience with demonstrated ownership of full cycle month-end close in a high bar environment (scaled SaaS, high growth tech, or public company), with a solid understanding of US GAAP and financial reporting
- CPA-Track Credentials: CPA license or active pursuit of certification
- Audit & Controls Orientation: Experience preparing audit support (PBCs, schedules, memos) and familiarity with internal controls
- Systems Exposure: Familiarity with tools like NetSuite, Salesforce, Ramp, or similar ERP/expense management systems; interest in learning payroll platforms (e.g., Rippling)
- Tech-Savvy Mindset: Advanced skills in Excel/Google Sheets paired with proficiency in data-driven tools such as Alteryx, Python, SQL, and REST APIs
- Exceptional Precision: A relentless attention to detail with the ability to anticipate needs and execute tasks autonomously
- Organizational Prowess: Outstanding ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a collaborative and approachable demeanor
What the job involves
- We’re seeking a GL Accounting Manager to build scalable accounting operations and strengthen the foundation for growth through clear policies, disciplined operating rhythms, and reliable financial reporting
- You’ll take charge of core accounting processes — from payables and receivables to reconciliations and close — while also supporting audits, reporting, and process improvements
- Reporting directly to the Controller, you’ll have a front-row seat to how finance operations evolve in a high-growth environment. Within your first 90 days, you’ll own the monthly close and help streamline workflows to make our financial processes faster and more accurate
- This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, and candidates must be able to work in the office on a regular schedule — no exceptions
- Run the Daily Accounting Engine: Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, collections, cash applications, and reconciliations to ensure smooth daily operations
- Execute the Month-End Close: Own the end to end monthly close calendar, task management, and cross-functional readiness; drive post-close retrospectives and continuous improvement in speed and quality
- Own AP and procurement workflows end-to-end initially, including vendor onboarding, approvals, coding standards, PO and invoice routing, and payment runs. Improve AP and procurement processes to reduce cycle time and errors, and to strengthen audit trails and controls
- Build and maintain spend governance basics: chart of accounts and department mapping discipline, approval matrices, policy compliance, and documentation
- Build and maintain accounting policies, SOPs, and close playbooks, including checklists, templates, and evidence retention to support audits and future SOX readiness
- Be Audit-Ready: Assist with external audits by preparing schedules, supporting documentation, and contribute to technical accounting memos
- Learn and Apply Automation: Partner with the Controller to explore automation and systems improvements (ERP, billing, expense management) that reduce manual work
- Grow into Strategic Projects: Gain exposure to areas like system implementations, stock-based comp, and cross-functional reporting initiatives
Our take
Summarising key elements of healthcare conversations is crucial for both physicians and patients. Medical scribes, though effective, are costly, and the healthcare system faces funding and staffing crises. This has created a demand for more efficient notetaking solutions.
This is where Abridge comes in; it has developed a HIPAA-compliant AI platform that transcribes, structures, summarises, and provides insights from audio or transcripts of medical conversations. It claims to work across all specialities and offers patient-friendly summaries in easy-to-understand language.
Abridge aims to alleviate pressure on the healthcare system from the patient's perspective, a unique approach among healthtech startups. While companies like Inovia, DOUB, and DeepScribe focus on assisting physicians with medical transcription AI, they lack Abridge's patient-centric features, which are valuable in enhancing the patient experience. Its unique focus, then, is part of the reason why it enjoyed two impressive rounds of funding in 2025 alone.
