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 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. 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.
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.
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: 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.
What You’ll Bring
- 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.
