About the Role
Galileo's finance team keeps a fast-moving healthcare company financially healthy — and this role is at the center of that work. As Staff Accountant, you'll own the full AP cycle, contribute to month-end close, and manage compliance processes that keep us audit-ready and operationally sound.
This isn't a heads-down data entry role. It's a position for someone who takes ownership, communicates proactively across the organization, and brings precision to work that moves quickly.
This is a fully remote position, reporting into the Accounting Manager.
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Ensure thorough review of vendor invoices, maintain accurate billing information, and facilitate timely communication with vendors and internal departments
- Participate in month-end close processes; perform monthly accounting activities such as posting accrual and prepaid journal entries and balance sheet reconciliations
- Manage, reconcile, and obtain all receipts for corporate card transactions, including T&E, and ensure all items are submitted timely and accurately
- Generate monthly invoices, assess and manage customer account balances, and proactively notify customers of insufficient payments
- Assist with internal and external audits
- Manage the 1099 process end-to-end, including collection of W-9s, preparation, filing, and distribution to contractors, ensuring compliance with IRS requirements and deadlines
- Track and manage annual state report filings for all legal entities, ensuring compliance with state requirements and timely submission deadlines
- Track and manage capitalized software (internal-use software), including evaluation of capitalization criteria, maintenance of amortization schedules, and ensuring compliance with accounting standards
- Prepare accounting reports by collecting, analyzing, and summarizing account information and trends
- Assist with additional ad hoc requests and projects for the Finance and Accounting departments as well as other departments as assigned
About You
You're comfortable owning the full accounting cycle — from processing vendor invoices and reconciling corporate card transactions to following up on outstanding balances. You find satisfaction in the steady rhythm of month-end close, and you stay grounded when priorities shift week to week.
You know how to work across an organization. Getting what you need — a receipt from a team lead, a W-9 from a contractor, an approval from a department head — comes naturally to you because you invest in relationships and follow up without letting things slip.
You exercise good judgment, take initiative, and bring a sense of order to whatever you're working on. You don't need every answer handed to you — you're comfortable making a call and moving forward.
We would love to hear from you if you have the following or equivalent experience:
- Bachelors degree in Accounting or other related field
- 3+ years of relevant experience in accounts payable/accounts receivable
- Knowledge of general ledger functions and the month-end/year-end close processes
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and daily/monthly deadlines
- Experience with accounting software (NetSuite and Bill.com preferred)
- High degree of comfort with Excel and/or Google Sheets
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate across departments
