The Senior Staff Accountant of Accounts Payable reviews bills for coding accuracy above an established materiality threshold, serves as the final layer of review for PO-backed bills (matching bills to POs so a secondary AP reviewer is not required), and approves vendor profiles added or updated by Staff Accountants, including checking the vendor master file for duplicates. This role also supports inbox management, prepares AP payment runs, supports cash forecasting with Treasury, backs up the Practice Payment function of AP, and helps train and mentor Staff Accountants by reviewing errors and building processes to reduce them going forward. The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, prioritizes quality over speed, thinks independently, and is comfortable using AI tools (such as Claude) to improve processes.

 

We are flexible with respect to geographic location, and the ideal candidate will be comfortable working remotely/work from home within the US or be based from Bethesda, MD office.
