• 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.
