9amHealth is an AI-enabled virtual specialty care platform focused on managing high-cost chronic conditions at scale. The company partners with employers, health plans, and pharmacy benefit managers to deliver comprehensive, cost-effective medical care for individuals living with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Members receive access to specialized clinicians, including endocrinologists, obesity medicine specialists, and clinical pharmacists, at-home lab testing, prescription medications, and lifestyle support.

9amHealth was founded in 2021 and is backed by leading healthcare investors like Define Ventures, SemperVirens, 7Wire Ventures, and The Cigna Group Ventures.

The Controller is the first dedicated, in-house accounting leader at 9amHealth. You will own the accounting function end-to-end - chart of accounts, accounting principles, month-end close, reporting, tax compliance, 409A valuations, audit readiness and internal controls - as well as the relationship with our outsourced accounting partner and will progressively bring accounting in-house as we mature.

We are looking for an accountant who thinks like an operator first – both achieving tax and GAAP compliance and ensuring books serve as a strategic asset which enables business insight, analytics, and allows robust FP&A reporting & forecasting.

You will partner closely with both the CFO and Director of FP&A, present to the board of directors and own the relationship with our external auditors and our external tax firm.
