For this role, we have partnered with an Employer of Record (EoR) vendor, which allows us to collaborate with contingent professionals across different regions. Please note that for this position, you will be employed directly by our EoR who will be responsible for all employer obligations, including payroll, benefits, and local HR support, and you will be contracted out to Komodo Health.

The Team:

The Accounting team at Komodo Health serves as the analytical backbone of our global operations, ensuring financial integrity and transparency through rigorous standards and innovative processes. We partner across every department to transform complex data into the financial clarity needed to scale our mission of reducing the global burden of disease.

The Mission & Opportunity

As the Accounting Analyst, you are the owner of Komodo Health’s "financial front door." This role is the essential engine behind our scale, managing the full-cycle flow of funds and transforming raw billing data into the high-integrity financial records our leadership relies on to make world-changing decisions. You aren’t just processing paperwork; you are building critical trust with our global vendors and colleagues by ensuring every invoice is coded accurately and every employee is reimbursed promptly. By maintaining our financial commitments with extreme precision and speed, you create the operational agility necessary to further our mission of reducing the global burden of disease.

Looking back at your first 12 months you will have:

• Zero-Defect Processing: Maintain a near-perfect accuracy rate in invoice entry, specifically ensuring that high-value vendor payments are recorded and executed without data-entry errors (avoiding "transposition" mistakes).
• Expense Efficiency: Eradicate processing backlogs by maintaining a steady-state turnaround for employee reimbursements, even during high-volume periods like the Annual Remote Komodo Offsite (RKO).
• Audit Excellence: Provide flawless support for financial audits by maintaining organized, easily retrievable digital documentation for all disbursements.
• Vendor Trust: Resolve all vendor payment inquiries within 24 hours, taking full ownership of the communication and resolution process.

• High-Volume AP Management: Process all incoming vendor bills with extreme attention to detail and correct GL/departmental coding.
• Employee Expense Auditing: Review and reimburse global expense reports, ensuring compliance with Komodo’s policies.
• Accuracy Control: Perform double-checks on payment amounts and banking details to prevent significant financial discrepancies.
• Relationship Management: Act as the face of Finance for vendors, resolving disputes or missed payments with professional "intellectual honesty".
• System Maintenance: Keep the ERP vendor master file organized and up-to-date.
• Audit Support: Pull samples and provide documentation for the annual financial audit process.

What you bring to Komodo Health (required):

• You must currently reside in Costa Rica and have proper work authorization.
• 2+ years of experience in accounting or finance
• B/A in accounting or finance is preferred
• Hyper-Organization: The ability to manage high transaction volumes (invoices and expenses) without losing track of priority items.
• Operational Speed: A "growth mindset" that prioritizes moving through tasks quickly while maintaining total accuracy.
• Data Integrity: Exceptional attention to detail, specifically regarding numeric entry and GL coding.
• English Proficiency: Strong written and verbal English skills to navigate global vendor calls and internal Slack communications.
• Accounting Logic: Understanding how to map expenses to the correct departments and accounts (e.g., coding a recruiting bill to the correct consultant line).
• Multitasking & Prioritization: Proven ability to manage recurring monthly deadlines alongside long-term accounting projects.
• Bilingual Communication: Professional-level English and Spanish to effectively collaborate with a global, distributed team.

Nice to Have Skills:

• International Accounting Exposure: Experience working with international entities or managing cross-border vendor payments (e.g., India or LATAM regions).
• Audit Preparation: Previous experience pulling samples or preparing schedules for external financial audits.
• Advanced Automation: Familiarity with leveraging GenAI or RPA tools to categorize expenses or draft vendor correspondence.
• Specialized Tooling: Experience with automated procurement or expense platforms such as Coupa, Ramp, or Concur.

At Komodo, we value "Delivering the Wow" through innovation. As an Accounting Analyst, you can leverage GenAI tools to:

• Automate Variance Analysis: Use AI to quickly summarize the "why" behind budget-to-actual discrepancies.
• Streamline Technical Research: Use LLMs to quickly summarize complex accounting standards or international tax requirements.
• Enhance Communication: Use AI to draft clear, empathetic internal memos regarding expense policy updates or vendor payment status.
