Cartwheel
Join Cartwheel to help tackle the student mental health crisis! Cartwheel is an early-stage company building a new kind of mental health program for kids that puts schools at the center. We see our role as supporting school staff who see kids every single day. Instead of going around them, we collaborate with them. This means: Earlier intervention Higher student and family engagement in care Better coordination among the trusted adults in a student’s life Kids shouldn't just aspire to get out of bed and drag themselves to class. They should be able to experience joy. They deserve to envision and build a life they’re excited to live. If you join Cartwheel, you’ll help make this vision a reality for millions of students across the country.

- You have a strong GAAP foundation and you are curious about modern tools/automation (including AI) and are excited about leveraging technology to make accounting more efficient and insightful.
- You have owned or led an external audit end-to-end (planning, PBC coordination, auditor management, remediation), and are confident operating in audit-ready environments.
- You’ve played a meaningful role in ERP selection and implementation — including requirements gathering, system configuration, chart of accounts design, testing, and post–go-live operations.
- You’ve built or significantly scaled accounting processes and workflows, bringing a builder’s mindset to creating structure where none exists.
- You have experience in healthcare or payer-heavy environments (behavioral health, Medicaid, fee-for-service, or similar), and understand the nuances of bad debt, reimbursement, and revenue cycle complexity.
- You connect day-to-day accounting operations to broader business outcomes and know how to prioritize effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- You communicate clearly with non-finance partners, translating complex financial topics into accessible insights and building trust across teams.
