Responsibilities
Kforce has an enterprise client seeking an Accountant 3 in Seattle, WA. Summary: The Accountant oversees the work of one L4 team member 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 (ex. 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 reasonability of financial results. 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 root cause, and partner on resolution. Lastly, this role leads and implements process improvements including financial system integration on-boarding and simplification initiatives to reduce month-end close timelines. The accountant owns the Inventory accounting for 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.
