Accounting Manager (San Francisco)

About Our Mission

Camber builds software to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare. We streamline and replace manual work so clinicians can focus on what they do best: providing great care. For more details on our thesis, check out our write-up: What is Camber?

We’ve raised $50M in funding from phenomenal supporters at a16z, Craft Ventures, YCombinator, Manresa, and many others who are committed to improving the accessibility of care. For more information, take a look at: Announcing Camber.

About Our Culture

Our mission to change behavioral health starts with us and how we operate. We don’t want to just change behavioral health, we want to change the way startups operate. Here are a few tactical examples:

1. Improving accessibility and quality of healthcare is something we live and breathe. Everyone on Camber’s team cares deeply about helping clinicians and patients.

2. We have to have a sense of humor. Healthcare is so broken, it's depressing if you don't laugh with us.

About the Role

Camber is seeking an Accounting Manager to help build the accounting function. As the first hire, you will be both a builder and a doer. You will be responsible for owning and executing typical accounting responsibilities — month- and year-end close, reporting, invoicing, collections, and AP — while also building out the infrastructure and establishing best practices to enable our team to scale.

You will also engage cross-functionally on ad hoc projects to solve complex problems on a regular basis. You will work closely with senior leaders across the company and report directly to the VP of Finance. You may be a good fit for this role if you are looking for an opportunity to make a significant impact on the financial infrastructure of an innovative company and help build the accounting function from the ground up.

What you'll do

• Drive process improvements, document standard operating procedures, and contribute to ad hoc projects to enhance operational efficiency.
• Identify opportunities to improve our workflows and systems and be responsible for sourcing and implementing new solutions.
• Ensure proper accounting procedures, internal controls, and compliance with accounting policies and regulations, and ultimately ensure accuracy of financial statements and related reports.
• Act as the primary preparer in month- and year-end close, checklist, and reconciliations.
• Monitor and manage customer accounts to support collections efforts and build positive relationships that encourage timely payment resolution.
• Perform monthly account reconciliations, investigate discrepancies, and address unusual or high-variance transactions.

What we're looking for

• Accounting experience — an intimate understanding of accounting principles and experience applying those principles at a company (experiences at both a Big Four accounting firm and high-growth startup preferred but not required).
• Ownership — as our first accounting hire, you will own the accounting function including building out the appropriate infrastructure, systems, and processes to enable the team to scale.
• Throughput, velocity, and independence — an ability to identify opportunities, build alignment, and implement solutions autonomously.
• Pragmatism & resourcefulness — balances company and teammate priorities seamlessly. Appreciates the fast-paced environment in a startup, and can be creative with resourcing. Can build thoughtful initiatives with simplicity and clarity.
• Communication & integrity — keeps confidences and builds trust with both teammates and the leadership team. Makes people feel heard while communicating with directness and transparency.

Camber is based in New York City with a satellite office in San Francisco, and we prioritize in-person and hybrid candidates. This role will be based in San Francisco. Please refer to the top of this page for this position's hiring location.

Building an inclusive culture is one of our core tenets as a company. We’re very aware of the structural inequalities that exist, and recognize that underrepresented minorities are less likely to apply for a role if they don’t think they meet all of the requirements. If that’s you and you’re reading this, we’d like to encourage you to apply regardless — we’d love to get to know you and see if there’s a place for you here!

In addition, we take security seriously, and all of our employees contribute to uphold security requirements and maintain compliance with HIPAA security regulations.
