Position Overview

The Accountant at OrthoArkansas starts with doing great accounting the right way: reconciliations that tie, entries that are right, and understanding why the numbers are what they are. Alongside that, with training we provide and our CEO/CFO, Controller, and in-house AI developer helping you, you'll learn to use AI tools on real accounting work, review what our agents produce, and over time help build the agents yourself. This is a place to become a very good accountant and an early expert in how accounting gets done with AI.

OrthoArkansas is a physician-owned orthopedic group: about 40 surgeons, 550 employees, ten clinics, two surgery centers, and eight related entities including a captive insurer, a real estate company, and a management company. We're rebuilding our accounting function around AI agents instead of headcount, and we're building a small team of accountants who want to grow with it.

We don't expect you to arrive knowing how to do any of the AI part. We expect a sharp, careful accountant who is curious about it, wants to learn it, likes to tinker, and is excited to grow into it. We'll spend the time and the money to get you there.

Key Responsibilities

1. Accounting & Reconciliations

• Prepare balance sheet reconciliations and journal entries for your assigned entities, every month, until they tie.
• Complete bank and cash reconciliations and the supporting schedules behind them.
• Support the monthly close, physician statements, and year-end packages for our outside CPA.

2. AI & Automation

• Review agent output: check the work our automation produces, catch what's off, and flag why.
• Over time, and with our support, help build and improve the agents that automate your work.

3. Procedures & Documentation

• Write down how you do what you do, so someone else could do it too.
• Ask good questions. We'll coach you with questions more often than answers.

5. Additional Responsibilities

• Perform other related duties as assigned to support the accounting goals and strategic initiatives of OrthoArkansas.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in accounting.
• 1-4 years of accounting experience. Industry doesn't matter.

Skills & Abilities

• A careful, precise accountant: you don't stop until it ties, and you also know when a difference is too small to chase.
• AI-curious. You already use AI tools on your own and want to learn how they're built and how they can do real accounting work.
• Coachable: you ask why, you take feedback well, and you learn fast.
• You'd rather fix the process than redo the same task by hand every month.
• You want to be a Senior Accountant here in a few years.

Software Skills

• Intermediate:Microsoft Excel

What This Job Is Not

• Not a data-entry seat. The agents will do more of that every month.
• Not a big department where you'll be stuck in one narrow task. You'll see the whole picture.
• Not a job where someone else does the AI part for you. You'll learn it, with help.

Perks of This Position

• Impactful & Rewarding Work - Become a very good accountant and an early expert in how accounting gets done with AI.
• Attractive Compensation & Comprehensive Benefits - Receive a benefits package including medical, life insurance, 401(k) with employer profit-sharing contributions, paid time off, and paid holidays.
• Culture of Excellence - Be part of a team that values kindness, integrity, attention to detail, and continuous learning.
• Professional Growth & Development - Training we provide, with the time and money to get you there, and a path to Senior Accountant.
• Collaborative & Supportive Environment - Work alongside our CEO/CFO, Controller, and in-house AI developer, and see the whole picture.
• Performance Expectations - Reconciliations that tie and entries that are right every month, agent output reviewed with issues flagged, and procedures written down.
• Professional Development - Opportunities to grow in accounting, AI tools, and building agents, with a path to Senior Accountant.
