About Abridge

Abridge was founded in 2018 with the mission of powering deeper understanding in healthcare. Our AI-powered platform was purpose-built for medical conversations, improving clinical documentation efficiencies while enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most—their patients.

Our enterprise-grade technology transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, with deep EMR integrations. Powered by Linked Evidence and our purpose-built, auditable AI, we are the only company that maps AI-generated summaries to ground truth, helping providers quickly trust and verify the output. As pioneers in generative AI for healthcare, we are setting the industry standards for the responsible deployment of AI across health systems.

We are a growing team of practicing MDs, AI scientists, PhDs, creatives, technologists, and engineers working together to empower people and make care make more sense. We have offices located in the Mission District in San Francisco, the SoHo neighborhood of New York, and East Liberty in Pittsburgh.

The Role

We’re seeking an accounting professional who wants to move beyond traditional bookkeeping and become a key player in scaling finance at the forefront of AI in healthcare. This role is ideal for someone with a strong foundation in accounting, ideally from a Big 4 firm, who’s ready to own day-to-day operations while gaining hands-on experience with financial systems, automation, and strategic projects.

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 contribute to streamlining workflows that make our financial processes faster and more accurate.

This is a hybrid role, and candidates must be able to work in-office on a regular schedule — no exceptions.

What You’ll Do

• 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: Prepare journal entries, reconciliations, and variance analyses, helping drive a timely and accurate close process.
• Support Revenue and Billing: Own customer invoicing, revenue recognition under ASC 606, and monitor collections to keep cash flow healthy.
• Be Audit-Ready: Assist with external audits by preparing schedules, supporting documentation, and contributing to technical accounting memos.
• Maintain Reporting Discipline: Keep subledgers, schedules, and reconciliations current to ensure readiness for weekly reporting.
• Document and Strengthen Processes: Build and refine accounting policies, workflows, and checklists to support accuracy, consistency, and scalability.
• 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.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong Foundation in Accounting: 1–3 years of experience in public accounting (Big 4 or equivalent), 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.
