At Nomi Health, we believe the care itself isn’t broken — it’s the business of healthcare that gets in the way. Every year, more than $1 trillion is wasted on paperwork, delays, and middle layers that drive up costs and keep people from the care they need.
We’re rebuilding the system so it works the way it should: clear prices you can trust, faster payments that keep providers focused on patients, and data that helps employers make better decisions. Our work has already touched more than 30 million lives — from local communities in Michigan to some of the largest companies in the country.

What You'll Do:
- General Ledger: Maintain and update the general ledger by posting and verifying transactions.
- Accounts Payable and Receivable: Process invoices, prepare payments, and reconcile accounts payable and receivable.
- Financial Reporting: Assist in the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements and reports.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Staff Accountant
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
USCIS requires your accounting degree to directly relate to the Staff Accountant role. A degree in a different field, even with accounting coursework, can trigger an RFE. Confirm the match before applying to roles.
Check employer LCA filings by occupation
Use Migrate Mate to filter Staff Accountant roles by employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application history in accounting SOC codes, so you're targeting companies that have actually sponsored this role before.
Time your job search before lottery registration
H-1B registration opens in March for an October start date. Target employers in January and February so they can register you in time. A late offer means waiting a full year for the next lottery window.
Use OFLC Wage Search to anchor salary talks
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your location and experience level. Pull the current Level I or Level II rate from the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating, so you know the floor they're legally required to meet.
Prioritize E-Verify enrolled employers during your search
E-Verify enrollment signals that an employer has an active compliance infrastructure, which often correlates with experience sponsoring work visas. Ask HR directly during the interview process whether the company uses E-Verify.
Request premium processing when your OPT gap is tight
If you're transitioning from OPT to H-1B status, standard processing can run several months. Ask your employer to file for premium processing through USCIS to get a 15-business-day decision and avoid an authorization gap.
H-1B Visa Staff Accountant: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Staff Accountant role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, Staff Accountant positions qualify as specialty occupations because the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field. USCIS looks at the job duties and the degree requirement together. Generic titles like 'accountant' can face scrutiny if the job description doesn't reflect degree-level complexity, so the offer letter and job duties matter significantly.
Which types of employers typically sponsor H-1B visas for Staff Accountants?
Public accounting firms, large corporations with in-house finance departments, healthcare systems, and financial services companies are the most active H-1B sponsors for Staff Accountant roles. Smaller firms sponsor less frequently because of cost and administrative burden. You can browse Staff Accountant roles from verified H-1B-sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate, filtered by LCA filing history in accounting occupation codes.
Can a CPA license affect my H-1B petition as a Staff Accountant?
Having a CPA license strengthens your petition but isn't required for H-1B approval in a Staff Accountant role. USCIS focuses on the degree requirement, not licensure. That said, states that require CPA licensure for certain duties may expect you to obtain it eventually, and some employers include it as a condition of employment rather than a visa requirement.
What happens to my H-1B status if I'm laid off while working as a Staff Accountant?
You have a 60-day grace period after losing H-1B employment to find a new sponsoring employer, file a change of status, or depart the U.S. Your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period ends. The 60-day window is a single grace period per authorized validity period, so it doesn't reset with each new role.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect Staff Accountant H-1B petitions?
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your specific location, job duties, and experience level before filing the LCA with DOL. Prevailing wages for Staff Accountants vary significantly by metro area. You can look up the current wage floor using the OFLC Wage Search, which publishes rates by occupation code and geography. Underpaying relative to the prevailing wage is a common RFE trigger.
