Accounting Manager
Thyme Care is an oncology digital health start-up that’s focused on radically improving the cancer experience with early and ongoing intervention. We help those with cancer and their caregivers, clinicians, health plans, and employers by coordinating integrated care that leads to better results, lower costs, and aligned incentives. Every Thyme Care member is assigned a personalized team of physician-guided oncology nurses and resource specialists who provide education, guidance, and advocacy as they navigate the complex healthcare system. We facilitate quick access to quality resources and high-value care, coordinating directly with providers and offering support every step of the way. Our high-touch, tech-enabled model generates actionable insights that allow us to identify at-risk members earlier and offer them the most relevant support based on where they are in their cancer journey—closing gaps in care and eliminating excess spend.
YOUR ROLE
As Thyme Care’s Accounting Manager, you will be our first in-house accounting hire. You will play a crucial role in ensuring financial accuracy of monthly reporting requirements and building out new infrastructure and processes. This is a unique opportunity to have responsibility across the full P&L and help to build out an accounting function at a high-growth startup.
After the first three months you will have:
- Familiarized yourself with Thyme Care’s existing data, software, reporting hierarchies, and customer contract structures.
- Partnered with external accounting vendors to ensure accurate / timely monthly close and report variances to budget.
- Assisted with tax / audit requests and partnered with our banking partner on cash management.
After the first six months you will have:
- Designed and implemented new A/R and A/P processes and policies that are built for scale.
- Investigated accounting policies (i.e. shared savings / capitation revenue recognition, medical claims expense, IBNR accrual, etc.) to most accurately report at-risk / value-based customer contracts.
- Worked cross-functionally with data science / actuary and clinical teams to develop standardized processes to ensure accurate accounting for at-risk business models.
- Identified opportunities for process improvements, enhanced/developed reporting tools, and considered supporting systems that could help scale accounting function.
WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS
- People-first. Thyme Care’s mission and members matter to you, deeply.
- Experience. 5+ years of experience as an accountant, preferably at Big Four, value-based healthcare company, insurance company, or a startup. Experience with value-based / at-risk healthcare contracts, ASC 944 / 606, and designing new accounting processes are pluses.
- Comfort with pace and ambiguity. You understand that rapid changes to the business, strategy, organization, and priorities is par for the course. You have flexibility to embrace change and build structure in such fluid work environments.
- Biased to action. You’re a self-starter and don’t need anyone to tell you when to do something.
- Collaboration. Ability to effectively communicate cross-functionally to ensure accounting estimates are accurate and support adherence to accounting policies.
- Attention to detail. You have a strong sense of pride and accountability for your work.
