Job description

Nearly 1.3 million Americans are residents of nursing homes, and they depend on nursing staff for basic needs. Currently, 99% of nursing homes in the US are facing nursing shortages, which means residents may not receive adequate care.

We’re on a mission to provide health care to the most vulnerable by connecting nurses to healthcare facilities. We’re a technology company that strives to empower nurses by offering flexibility and control over when and where they work, along with higher wages. Through our mobile apps, our community of qualified nurses provide much‑needed staff for short‑staffed facilities.

About this role

ESHYFT is seeking a high‑performing Senior Staff Accountant to support the continued build‑out and professionalization of the accounting function in a fast‑growing healthcare technology, staffing, and marketplace environment.

This is a hands‑on accounting role for a strong all‑around accountant who can execute core accounting responsibilities at a high level while also bringing analytical horsepower, curiosity, urgency, and problem‑solving ability. The right candidate will be comfortable working in a founder‑led, scaling company where systems, processes, and reporting are continuing to mature.

This role will work closely with the CFO and Accounting Manager/Assistant Controller and will serve as a critical execution engine for month‑end close, account reconciliations, operational accounting support, financial reporting analysis, ad‑hoc analysis, and financial data integrity across a multi‑entity environment.

We are looking for someone who is technically strong, highly organized, detail‑oriented, analytical, proactive, and comfortable operating with a high level of accountability and ownership. The ideal candidate is not just a processor — they investigate issues, identify inconsistencies, reconcile complex accounts, work effectively with large data sets, explain findings clearly, and help improve the quality and reliability of the accounting function.

This position is designed for a high‑potential accountant who wants to be a key contributor in building a scalable finance function.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required
• CPA or CPA‑track preferred
• 5+ years of progressive accounting experience
• Public accounting experience preferred, but not required
• Experience in SaaS, healthcare staffing, marketplace, high‑growth, startup, founder‑led, or multi‑entity environments strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of GAAP and core accounting principles
• Advanced or power‑user level Excel skills required, including pivot tables, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, SUMIFS, large data set analysis, and multi‑source reconciliations
• Experience with Sage Intacct or another mid‑market ERP system preferred
• Familiarity with subscription billing platforms and workflows such as Zuora, Chargebee, or similar SaaS billing systems preferred
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, shifting deadlines, and ad‑hoc requests in a fast‑paced environment

Critical Success Factors

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Excellent reconciliation and analytical capabilities
• High level of accountability, ownership, urgency, and follow‑through
• Ability to identify issues, investigate root causes, and solve problems proactively
• Comfortable working with large volumes of financial and operational data
• Strong documentation and workpaper discipline
• Ability to explain findings clearly and communicate issues effectively
• Ability to operate effectively in a scaling environment with evolving systems and processes
• Resourceful, adaptable, and comfortable rolling up sleeves
• Strong cross‑functional communication skills
• Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and team‑oriented mindset
