Accounting Manager

Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health

Solace is building the accounting function from the ground up. This role will be someone who can both execute and improve the monthly close, bring structure where there is ambiguity, and partner cross-functionally to keep accounting accurate as the business scales.

We’re intentionally posting this as Accounting Manager to match the right person: you may or may not have managed people yet, but you can own processes end-to-end and drive a tight close.

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series B startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Signalfire. Our fully remote U.S. team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

• Own key areas of the monthly close, including timelines, checklists, journal entries, and review-ready support.

• Prepare and/or review complex reconciliations and rollforwards (accruals, payroll, deferred items, reserves as applicable).

• Build and enforce a clean close cadence: cutoff discipline, variance analysis, and clear ownership.

• Partner with FP&A to ensure actuals are reliable and variances are understood (and not explained away).

• Strengthen accounting operations: improve workflows for expense coding, approvals, and documentation.

• Support audit/tax readiness: maintain PBC-ready support, respond to requests, and drive issues to resolution.

• Implement lightweight internal controls appropriate for our stage (segregation, approvals, change logs, close sign-offs).

• Help evaluate and improve tools/systems (ERP, expense platform, AP tools) and establish scalable processes.

• Mentor junior teammates as the team grows (review work, level up documentation and rigor).

• 4+ years of accounting experience; Big 4 background preferred.

• Experience in an operating environment (startup/scale-up or public company) where you participated in a real close cycle.

• Demonstrated ownership of meaningful close areas (not just assisting).

• Strong technical accounting fundamentals and sound judgment (knowing when to escalate).

• Strong Excel/Sheets skills; comfort working with large datasets and imperfect inputs.

• Clear communication and cross-functional partnering. You’re able to push for what’s needed without creating friction.

Applicants must be based in the United States.
