Accountant Jobs in Rochester, NH (NOW HIRING)

At Life Science Outsourcing (LSO), the numbers are never just numbers. As a medical device contract manufacturer operating under FDA regulations and ISO 13485 standards, we depend on financial records that are accurate, timely, and audit-ready, because everything we build ends up in the hands of a patient. The Junior Accountant keeps the payables and receivables engine running so quality products ship on time and within budget.

As a key member of our Finance team reporting to the Controller, you will own the day-to-day flow of accounts payable and accounts receivable, serving as a vital link between vendors, customers, and our operations floor.

Accounts Payable

• Receive, verify, and reconcile vendor invoices against purchase orders and receiving documentation so every payment goes out right the first time.
• Record payments, prepare payment runs, and keep vendor accounts accurate and current.
• Respond to vendor inquiries promptly and professionally, resolving billing discrepancies at the source.

Accounts Receivable

• Generate and issue customer invoices accurately and on schedule, keeping cash flowing into the business.
• Apply incoming payments, monitor outstanding balances, and assist with collections follow-up.
• Reconcile customer accounts and research payment discrepancies until the numbers tie out.

Reconciliation & Record-Keeping

• Reconcile assigned accounts and play a hands-on role in the month-end close.
• Maintain organized historical records, from check stubs to bank receipts, so answers are always a file away.
• Support the team with data entry and routine accounting tasks that keep the books clean.

Compliance & Controls

• Follow internal controls and company policies in every AP and AR activity.

Mindset & Impact

• Detail-oriented to the core: a transposed digit bothers you until it is fixed.
• Organized and steady when invoices stack up and deadlines compete.
• Curious about AI and automation, and eager to apply modern tools that make routine AP and AR work faster and more accurate. Hands-on experience is a bonus; willingness to learn is what matters.

• Gain regulated-industry experience inside an FDA registered, ISO 13485 certified manufacturer, a credential that travels well.
• Join a PE-backed organization with the growth trajectory to expand your scope over time.
