## Job description

## Who We Are & What We Do

At Helix, our mission is simple: to help everyone improve their lives through their DNA.

Ready to make a real-world impact with your skills? At Helix, we're transforming healthcare by making genomics a standard of care. We partner with health systems and life science companies to accelerate the integration of genomic data into clinical practice. Join us in building a future where healthcare is personalized, proactive, and powered by genomics.

What is special about this role? Every vendor payment, every approval routed, every invoice resolved: that's the Accounting team's job, and it's what keeps Helix's operations running without a hitch. As an AP Accountant, you'll be at the center of that process, working hands-on with our procurement software and directly with budget owners and vendors to keep payments accurate and on time. You'll also have the opportunity to leverage AI tools to work smarter, cut down on manual busywork, and free up time for the parts of the job that matter most. It's a role built for someone early in their accounting career who wants real ownership of a process from day one, with a clear path to grow into more.

As an Accounts Payable Accountant, you will:

- Review, verify and process vendor invoices through procurement software, and ensuring accurate, timely payment execution
- Maintain vendor master data and payment records with precision.
- Partner with budget owners and bill owners to resolve approval delays and answer payment status questions.
- Manage vendor correspondence including responding to inquiries, resolving invoice discrepancies, and chasing down the root cause of payment issues.
- Follow established AP procedures and controls, and speak up when you spot a better way to do something.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Procurement, and Operations to keep billing and payment timelines aligned.
- Support prepaids and fixed asset accounting
- Reconcile vendor statements, investigate discrepancies, and assist with month-end accruals, closing entries and reconciliations.
- Support annual 1099 fillings and audit requests.
- Build breadth beyond AP by cross-training with the team on adjacent accounting work

About you:

- 2–4 years of experience in accounts payable, staff accounting, or a similar billing/AP role.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive, with a commitment to accuracy and accountability.
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills — you're comfortable coordinating across teams and talking directly with vendors.
- Able to juggle multiple invoices and priorities without dropping the ball.
- Curious and adaptable — eager to learn new systems and take on more as you grow.
- Experience leveraging AI tools like Claude or Gemini to work more efficiently.
- Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data validation).

Pluses:

- Familiarity with Ramp or similar procurement platforms
- Familiarity with Netsuite ERP
- Prior experience in the biotech industry, or with a start-up
