To excel in Biotech Accounting, professionals typically need a strong background in accounting principles, financial analysis, and experience with regulatory compliance in the biotechnology or life sciences sector. Familiarity with ERP systems like SAP or Oracle, as well as relevant certifications such as CPA or CMA, are often required. Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills set outstanding candidates apart. These skills are vital to ensure accurate financial reporting, support critical business decisions, and maintain compliance in a highly regulated and evolving industry.
A Biotech Accounting job involves managing the financial operations of biotechnology companies, including budgeting, financial reporting, cost analysis, and regulatory compliance. Accountants in this field must understand industry-specific expenses like research and development (R&D) costs, grants, and government funding. They also ensure compliance with financial regulations and reporting standards unique to biotech. Strong knowledge of GAAP, SEC reporting, and experience in biotech or life sciences finance is often required.
Biotech accounting professionals often navigate complex funding arrangements, such as grants, research contracts, and milestone-based revenues, which require specialized knowledge for proper financial tracking and reporting. Additionally, strict industry regulations and compliance requirements, including those from the FDA and SEC, add layers of complexity to day-to-day responsibilities. Working closely with R&D teams, regulatory affairs, and senior management is common, making collaboration critical. These challenges provide valuable learning opportunities and depth to the role, making it a dynamic field for those seeking growth and variety in their accounting career.
We are looking for an experienced Sr. Accountant to support key accounting activities for a life sciences organization in Waltham, Massachusetts. This Long-term Contract position will focus on clinical accruals, R& D accruals, reconciliations, and monthly close processes while partnering with teams involved in research and development operations. The ideal candidate brings strong pharmaceutical or biotech accounting experience, advanced Excel capabilities, and the ability to work effectively across evolving systems and processes.
Responsibilities:
• Oversee clinical trial and R& D accrual accounting by reviewing contracts, financial activity, recording appropriate entries, and maintaining accurate period-end balances.
• Manage month-end close tasks, including preparation of journal entries, balance sheet support, and timely completion of assigned accounting deliverables.
• Perform detailed reconciliations across general ledger accounts and banking activity to identify variances and resolve discrepancies efficiently.
• Support accounting for research and development spending by analyzing transactions and ensuring expenses are recorded in the proper reporting period.
• Prepare and maintain schedules that substantiate account balances and provide clear documentation for internal review and audit readiness.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to gather accrual inputs, validate financial data, and improve the accuracy of monthly reporting.
• Use advanced Microsoft Excel to organize large data sets, build supporting analyses, and streamline recurring accounting processes.
• Contribute to accounting operations within changing systems or workflows while maintaining consistency, control, and compliance in financial reporting.
• At least 5 years of accounting experience within pharmaceutical, biotech, biopharmaceutical, or broader life sciences environments. R& D accounting experience is a must.
• Hands-on background in month-end close activities, including journal entry preparation, general ledger analysis, and account reconciliation.
• Demonstrated experience with clinical trial accruals and accounting support for research and development expenditures.
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, with the ability to create detailed reconciliations, perform data analysis, and manage complex spreadsheets.
• Solid understanding of bank reconciliations and balance sheet account review processes.
• Ability to adapt to new systems, tools, or accounting workflows with minimal disruption to deliverables.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced accounting environment.
