Finance & Accounting Associate
Is it possible for you to openly access your company’s financial data, or HR records? No, of course not. Did you know, however, that in hospitals across the country, any doctor, any nurse, or any person from any department with computer access can easily review your healthcare information? I know what you're thinking, and you're correct. Yes, that is a privacy violation; and there were 40 million of these breaches in 2020 alone. Crazy, right? This is the problem smart people (like you!) can solve.
The Protenus Healthcare Compliance Analytics platform is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that ingests robust, unique data feeds to provide visibility into potential patterns of suspicious behavior that may otherwise go unnoticed. Our AI and advanced analytics empowers subject matter experts to mitigate and ultimately reduce organizational risk — whether it's an employee improperly accessing patient records, or a clinician diverting medications — in an efficient, accurate, and scalable manner. If the opportunity to thwart these bad actors doesn’t excite you, maybe the opportunity to serve on a team filled with other engineers who do different work than you, and together, you will collaborate and influence the end result of this cutting edge technology, will do the trick.
As the Finance and Accounting Associate, you’ll assist in various finance and accounting related processes, including but not limited to, financial modeling, new business/retention analysis, budgeting, forecasting, AP/AR, employee expenses, and addressing ad-hoc requests for decision making that ultimately serve to enhance the financial performance of the organization. In addition, the Finance and Accounting Associate is responsible for processing cash transactions, classifying expenses and assisting with financial close processes. This role reports directly to the Controller and requires being in the Baltimore office 1-2 days per week to collect and print checks.
This role is for someone who is interested in both sides of the Finance and Accounting organization. Not only will you be responsible for working closely with both our account and finance function, but you will also have the opportunity to get a closer, more in depth look into our company and work closely with our leadership team. You’ll have the opportunity to see both sides of the coin and really have a say in your career direction - whether that be more focused on the finance or accounting side down the road. We’ll make sure we’re giving you the opportunity to advance your career and help get you to where you see yourself long term.

If you live in the area and would like to come in, great! If you are in town to meet with your team, even better! We welcome you (and dogs) anytime. We operate with "big person rules" and let you make the decision about what works best for you, your life and your family. Results > Location
