Staff Accountant
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: EEO, links, etc. Also remove "Note: Hightop Health reserves the right to change or assign other duties to this position" maybe considered boilerplate? It's a note but it's substantive? It's a disclaimer; maybe we can drop as it's not essential? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The note about right to change duties could be considered legal boilerplate; safer to drop.
We need to structure content.
Let's extract sections:
About the role: first paragraph: "The Staff Accountant supports the day-to-day and period-end financial operations of Hightop Health and its affiliated physician practice entities. This role is responsible for core accounting activities including accounts payable, cash management, general ledger accounting, bank and financial reconciliations, and audit support. The Staff Accountant will work closely with the Sr. Associate and CFAO as well as many cross-functional teams to ensure the accurate and timely creation and entry of financial transactions across multiple entities. This role is best suited for an individual who is detail-oriented, highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment. All duties must be performed in alignment with Hightop Health’s mission, values, policies and procedures, and applicable laws and regulations."
That's About the role.
Responsibilities: list of duties broken into categories: Core Accounting, Accounts Payable, Payroll, Benefits & Related Accounting, Cash Management. Each has bullet-like sentences. We can create a
with items for each duty. Could group under subheadings? But only allowed headings are those specified; we could still have for category titles and then
. Simpler: create a with each duty as - . Ensure we capture all.
Let's list duties:
Core Accounting:
- Prepare and post journal entries.
- Create and maintain schedules to support the entries and ledger balances for items such as operating and capital leases, accruals, prepaids, and fixed assets, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.
- Assist with asset tracking across clinic locations in collaboration with practice managers, ensuring accurate tracking and accounting of balances.
- Provide any supporting schedules and backup to auditors or banks as requested.
- Ensure deadlines are met and balance sheet balances are reconciled to supporting schedules monthly.
- Review monthly activities and reconciliations with the Sr. Associate and/or CFAO, with any variances resolved and/or explained.
Accounts Payable:
- Ensure all vendor invoices are validated to associated contractual terms, approved in accordance with company policies, entered timely, and coded to the correct accounting period and GL accounts.
- Manage the company’s external vendor payment platform (Ramp) including all vendor setup and maintenance, invoice approval rules, maintain payment accounts, and perform all invoice entry and coding.
- Prepare weekly or bi-weekly payables runs for review with the Sr. Associate and/or CFAO.
- Oversee and ensure proper documentation and approvals on expenses paid on company credit cards, reconcile balances monthly.
- Reconcile sub-ledger balances to GL and external vendor payment platforms monthly.
- Manage creation and distribution of 1099s at year end.
- Serve as the internal contact for vendor payment questions and primary financial contact for vendors to respond to questions, resolve disputes, and negotiate/update terms.
Payroll, Benefits & Related Accounting:
- Work with the Sr. Associate to perform all bi-weekly payroll processing activities for a growing employee base that comprised of hourly and salaried employees including timecard administration, incentive payment calculations and administration, statutory and benefit deductions, state/local/federal tax issues, garnishments, employee absence and PTO tracking, etc.
- Support processing and reconciliation of 401(k) matches and other payroll-related benefits or deductions.
- Prepare appropriate documentation and reconciliations for payroll-related GL accounts.
- Reconcile benefits deductions to vendor invoices monthly.
Cash Management:
- Ensure timely and accurate entry of daily cash transactions.
- Perform monthly bank reconciliations and ensure tie outs between sub-ledger and GL balances.
- Support other cash management activities (e.g., monitoring bank balances between entities and processing intercompany transfers, preparing wire and ACH payments, managing positive pay activities).
We could also include "Note: Hightop Health reserves the right to change or assign other duties to this position" but we decided to drop.
Requirements: maybe Education/Licensure and Skills And Work Experience Requirements. The posting has "Education/Licensure" and "Skills And Work Experience Requirements". Could combine into Requirements section? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as separate if content exists.
We have Education/Licensure: "Bachelor’s degree in Accounting will be prioritizedMay consider other equivalent education/work experience". That's a qualification. So we can put that under Qualifications.
Skills And Work Experience Requirements: list of requirements: Minimum of three (3) years of relevant accounting experience required; experience in physician practices or provider organizations and multi-entity environments strongly preferred; Proficient in Microsoft Excel; Vendor management and invoice processing in Ramp.com or Bill.com; Proficient in all core accounting modules of Sage Intaact or other common accounting systems; Previous payroll processing experience with ADP or other large HRIS/Payroll platforms; Demonstrated experience performing core accounting activities including accounts payable/receivable, general ledger reconciliations, journal entries, and payroll processing; Experience supporting external audits.; Experience in a start-up or high-growth environment and comfort operating with evolving processes and priorities strongly preferred; Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize and complete tasks quickly and efficiently.
We could split: Requirements could be the years of experience and maybe education? But we already put education under Qualifications. Could put Requirements as the experience and technical skills? Qualifications as education? Skills as specific proficiencies? Let's follow typical: Requirements = mandatory experience/education; Qualifications = preferred; Skills = specific abilities. But we need to avoid filler.
We have: Education/Licensure (Bachelor's degree in Accounting prioritized, may consider other equivalent). That's a qualification.
Skills And Work Experience Requirements includes both experience and skills. We could treat that as Requirements (mandatory) and maybe also Skills. But we need to avoid duplication.
Simplify: Use Requirements for the experience and education (including years of experience, preferred experience). Use Skills for the proficiencies (Excel, Ramp, Sage, ADP, etc.). Use Qualifications maybe for education? But we already used education in Requirements. Could instead put Education under Qualifications, and Requirements for years of experience and preferred experience. Let's do:
- Requirements: Minimum of three (3) years of relevant accounting experience required; experience in physician practices or provider organizations and multi-entity environments strongly preferred; Experience in a start-up or high-growth environment and comfort operating with evolving processes and priorities strongly preferred.
- Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting will be prioritized; may consider other equivalent education/work experience.
- Skills: Proficient in Microsoft Excel; Vendor management and invoice processing in Ramp.com or Bill.com; Proficient in all core accounting modules of Sage Intaact or other common accounting systems; Previous payroll processing experience with ADP or other large HRIS/Payroll platforms; Demonstrated experience performing core accounting activities including accounts payable/receivable, general ledger reconciliations, journal entries, and payroll processing; Experience supporting external audits.; Excellent organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize and complete tasks quickly and efficiently.
Check for duplication: "Experience supporting external audits." appears in Skills And Work Experience Requirements; we included.
Now About Hightop Health description: we could include as a separate section maybe "About the company" but not in allowed headings. Could incorporate into About the role? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should not add extra headings like About Hightop Health. We could incorporate that description into About the role paragraph? But About the role already has description of role; we could add a
about the company after that, still under About the role heading? The heading is About the role; we can have multiple
under it. So we can add a paragraph describing Hightop Health after the role description.
Thus About the role section will have two paragraphs: first about role responsibilities, second about Hightop Health.
Now we need to remove EEO boilerplate and links.
Now produce HTML fragment:

No Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections.
Check for any repeated lines: ensure we didn't duplicate.
