Base pay range

$48.00/hr - $52.00/hr

Duration: 6-month contract

Job Description:

• The accountant oversees the work and key close processes, including journal entries, reconciliation reviews, oversight of stakeholder data inputs, and financial statement reviews.
• Pharmacy accounting processes present unique complexities through non-integrated systems and data, unique high-volume legal entities, multiple 3P service providers (e.g., Medicaid, Blue Cross, UHC, GoodRx, etc.), and compliance-related matters with the use of protected health information. As a result, this role works with non-standard processes and data sourced from 1P (Pharmacy owns and sells directly to customers or wholesalers) and 3P systems.
• It requires the ability to identify and resolve data quality issues through internal controls, data analysis, and calculations to determine the reasonability of financial results (using math and logic to check whether reported figures are plausible or consistent with other known data).
• This role requires effective communication and frequently educates non-accountants about financial processes, data sources, controls, and systems. The Finance Manager must identify incomplete or inaccurate data, determine the root cause, and partner on the resolution.
• Lastly, this role leads and implements process improvements, including financial system integration, onboarding, and simplification initiatives, to reduce month-end close timelines.
• The accountant owns the Inventory accounting for the Pharmacy, which includes all pharmacy inventory cycle accounting events (receipts, returns/adjustments, dispenses), cost of goods sold (COGS), inventory reserves, and supplier rebates. This role operates as an embedded controllership function within the health business due to the nature of its nascent and partially integrated processes. The role works in tandem with inventory operations (InvOps), Financial Operations (FinOps), and Finance stakeholders to ensure completeness and accuracy of financial information. Some opex/capex/leasing entries may also be handled.
