Senior Accountant

The Senior Accountant serves as a cornerstone of financial truth, execution speed, and regulatory resilience at Empower Pharmacy. This individual contributor role owns the accuracy, defensibility, and scalability of core accounting outputs that enable hyper-growth without compromising compliance, credibility, or operational integrity. The Senior Accountant delivers fast, audit-ready financials, resolves complex accounting issues under ambiguity, and builds systems that withstand volume growth, regulatory scrutiny, and operational change. Success is measured by close speed, data integrity, audit outcomes, and the durability of processes built. This role operates with extreme ownership, minimal oversight, and mission-driven urgency, recognizing that financial execution directly impacts patient access and provider trust. Artificial intelligence is a daily force multiplier, used to accelerate execution, improve insight quality, and automate low-leverage work. The Senior Accountant transforms accounting from a back-office function into scalable infrastructure that enables Empower to grow responsibly and confidently.
