About The Position

Ideal for CPAs looking to exit public accounting (2–4 busy seasons of experience) into a highly specialized, analytical corporate role. The Senior Corporate Accountant provides specialized oversight for regulatory reimbursement and revenue analysis as it pertains to net revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, and regulatory compliance for hospitals and other providers. Unlike traditional accounting roles, this position does not focus on month-end close, expense management, or general ledger debits and credits. Instead, you will ensure the accuracy of complex AR reserves and state supplemental funding balances, while managing all aspects of Medicare and Medicaid cost reporting and audits. The Lifestyle: 100% Remote (or hybrid) with our Nashville team, and zero billable hours. No Healthcare Experience Required: We will train you on the healthcare nuances.
