    • Lead general ledger close activities, prepare journal entries, and ensure timely reconciliations of balance sheet accounts.
    • Prepare consolidated financial statements and internal management reports with clarity and precision for executive leadership and board presentations.
    • Support global audit processes and statutory reporting requirements. Liaise with external auditors and international finance teams.
    • Design and enhance accounting procedures, controls, and reporting tools to scale with the company's global growth.
    • Partner with Clinical and Science teams, Operations, and R&D to ensure financial alignment and accurate tracking (e.g., clinical trial accruals, R&D tax credits, etc.).
    • Support the optimization of ERP systems (e.g., QBO, NetSuite or similar) to enable automation and accurate global reporting.
You might thrive in the role if you have:
    • A Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field.
    • At least 5 years of general accounting experience.
    • Prior exposure to international accounting practices.
    • Excellent attention to detail and analytical skills with the ability to independently and efficiently solve problems.
    • Experience using expense reimbursement platforms.
    • Experience with financial audits.
    • Familiarity with GAAP accounting practices.
    • Experience with various accounting software and the ability to pick up new ones as needed.
    • Experience balancing multiple competing priorities.
    • Comfort with ambiguity and fast-changing priorities; you systematize as you go.
It's a bonus if you have:
    • A CPA license or equivalent professional certification.
    • Experience with Quickbooks Online.
    • Experience using Ramp expense management software.
    • Proficiency with Google Workspace, Asana, and Slack.
    • An interest in finding productivity-hacking ways to use AI in accounting.
