AR / AP Accounting Specialist -- Austin, TX

Job Description

Job Description

Both sides of the ledger for a group of behavioral health and recovery companies — patient and insurance receivables on one side, vendor invoices and card reconciliations on the other. The interesting part is the middle: making the billing system and QuickBooks agree, and finding out why when they do not.

The schedule

• Full time, Monday to Friday, business hours.

• Month-end and year-end close are the busy weeks — the rest of the month is steadier.

• Based in Austin, working alongside the internal revenue cycle team.

What you will do

• Maintain and reconcile patient and insurance receivable balances.

• Post and reconcile cash receipts and deposits, and investigate unapplied cash, credits and adjustments.

• Review accounts receivable aging and assist with collection efforts.

• Reconcile receivable activity between the billing system and QuickBooks Online.

• Work with the internal revenue cycle team on billing, collections, adjustments, refunds and write-offs.

• Review, code and process vendor invoices, and confirm approval and support before payment.

• Process vendor payments by ACH, check and wire, and keep vendor records and W-9s in order.

• Manage employee expense reports and reimbursements through RAMP, and reconcile company cards.

• Prepare bank, credit card, AR and AP reconciliations, and support month-end and year-end close.

• Prepare weekly and monthly receivable and collection summaries for management.

• Support external audits and financial reviews with documentation.

What you need

Required

• Associate's degree in accounting, finance, business administration or a related field — equivalent experience considered instead.

• Three or more years in accounts receivable, accounts payable, bookkeeping or accounting.

• Experience working in a healthcare environment.

• Proficiency in QuickBooks Online.

• Experience using RAMP expense management software.

• Experience supporting healthcare billing and receivable reconciliation.

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills.

Preferred, not required

• Experience in behavioral health, substance use treatment, detox, residential treatment or healthcare services.

• Familiarity with healthcare reimbursement, insurance receivables and patient accounting.

• Understanding of HIPAA and healthcare confidentiality requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance or business administration.

If you hold the credential and the rest is thin, apply anyway. The preferred list is what we would like, not a filter we run.
