About Pivotal Health
Pivotal Health is the leading technology platform that helps healthcare providers get paid fairly in an increasingly complex reimbursement landscape.
Today, many providers face persistent underpayment from health insurance companies, despite delivering high-quality care. While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they’re often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.
Pivotal Health combines software, data, and service into a seamlessly integrated, AI-driven platform that simplifies these complex reimbursement workflows. We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they’re entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams.
Our full-service IDR solution is just the starting point. We’re building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Staff Accountant to join our growing Accounting team to manage AP and Payroll. As Pivotal Health transitions off our PEO and onto Rippling for payroll processing, we need someone who can support that transition and own the accounting and operational work that comes with it.
Rather than a payroll-only hire, we’re looking for someone stronger on the accounting side who can process payroll accurately and reliably, who will own accounts payable, company credit cards and employee reimbursements, support our benefit plans, and help with month-end close and cash management.
This is a great fit for someone with an accounting background who has hands-on experience with both AP and payroll, and who’s comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
What You’ll Do
Process accounts payable end-to-end, including reviewing and coding invoices for accuracy
Process payroll each cycle and ensure accuracy across pay runs, partnering with Rippling on tax and compliance filings
Manage the company credit card program and employee reimbursements in Ramp
Support administration of benefit plans as we transition off our PEO
Assist with month-end close and other accounting close activities
Support cash management and other day-to-day accounting operations
Partner with People Ops on payroll-related questions and processes
Help ensure a smooth transition as we bring payroll and benefits fully in-house
Who You Are
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, or 5+ years of accounts payable and payroll experience across different environments
3–5+ years of experience processing accounts payable and payroll
Experience with Rippling strongly preferred (comparable platforms such as Workday considered)
Experience with Ramp preferred (comparable platforms such as Brex or Bill.com considered)
Solid understanding of AP coding and core accounting fundamentals
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment; startup experience a plus
Extra Credit if you have it:
Direct experience with Rippling
Direct experience with Ramp
Experience helping a company transition off a PEO
Startup experience
Experience supporting month-end close processes
Why You’ll Love Working Here
We’re a collaborative, low-ego team on a mission to make healthcare reimbursement fairer for providers. While we primarily hire around our core hubs–Los Angeles and New York–we remain open to exceptional talent outside those regions. Remote and hybrid flexibility varies by role and team, and is outlined in each job description.
If you’re excited by solving complex problems and making a real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.
Benefits Include:
Competitive compensation, including equity
Full health, dental, and vision coverage
Retirement savings plan through 401(k)
Flexible time off
Opportunities for company-wide connection and events
Ready to Make an Impact?
We’re building something meaningful; and we want you on the team.
Bring your ideas, curiosity, and drive, and let’s transform healthcare reimbursement together.
