Staff Accountant

Why This Role Exists

Proclaim is a fast-moving health tech company. We are building our finance team and are looking for an exceptional accounting hire to own the day-to-day so leadership can focus on growth.

You’ll run AP, close the books accurately each month, and build out the FP&A muscle the business needs as it grows. This isn’t a tick-the-box job—we want someone who looks at the numbers and asks “why?”

The candidate must be comfortable working in a startup environment, and prior tech/health-tech experience will be a plus.

What You’ll Own

Accounts Payable

• Manage end-to-end AP: vendor invoices, PO matching, coding, and payment runs via AP platform
• Review and code employee expenses; process reimbursements accurately and on time
• Own vendor setup, W-9 collection, and maintain a clean vendor master in NetSuite
• Flag and resolve coding discrepancies proactively with department leads

Month-End Close & Financial Reporting

• Prepare and post journal entries in NetSuite (accruals, prepaids, deferrals, reclasses)
• Own key balance sheet reconciliations: cash, credit cards, AP, accruals, and payroll
• Partner with external accountants to deliver clean support schedules and minimize review cycles
• Support preparation of monthly financial statements along with our external accounting firm (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
• Assist with sales/use tax filings and multi-state compliance tracking and manage our tax firm

FP&A Support

• Run monthly budget-vs.-actual reporting by department; surface and explain variances
• Maintain and improve expense coding consistency to ensure reporting integrity
• Support ad hoc financial analysis for leadership (vendor cost reviews, headcount modeling)
• Help build a lightweight forecasting cadence as the company scales

Process & Systems

• Maintain and improve SOPs for AP, expenses, payroll, and close—document what exists, fix what’s broken
• Identify and implement automations in financial tech stack (e.g. NetSuite, Ramp, Brex, and Tipalti) to reduce manual work
• Bring solutions, not just problems—proactively flag gaps and recommend improvements

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 4–6 years of progressive accounting experience in a startup or fast-paced environment
• Hands-on NetSuite experience: posting JEs, running reports, reconciling accounts
• Comfortable owning AP and month-end close with minimal supervision
• Strong Excel skills: formulas, pivot tables, scenario analyses reconciliation builds
• Detail-oriented with a low tolerance for messy books—you notice things others miss
• Clear communicator who can translate accounting issues into plain language for non-finance stakeholders

Preferred

• Experience with Netsuite, Ramp, Brex and/or Tipalti (or similar AP systems)
• Exposure to FP&A: budget prep, variance analysis, or basic financial modeling
• Experience supporting or preparing financial statements, not just executing close tasks
• CPA candidate or CPA (a plus, not required)
• Health tech, SaaS, or hardware/recurring revenue company background

Who Thrives Here

This role is a strong fit if you…

• Want to be the go-to finance person at a growing company, not one of many in a large department
• Get energized by cleaning up a messy process or building something from scratch
• Are curious about the business—why costs move, what drives revenue, how operations connect to the P&L
• Can shift between tactical (AP run today) and analytical (why did OpEx spike?)
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and can prioritize without waiting to be told exactly what to do
