  • Prepare monthly/quarterly collaboration budget vs actual analyses

  • Regularly communicate and report key issues, transactions, and activities to team members

  • Prepare and submit monthly revenue journal entries, ensuring appropriate supporting documentation and approval has been completed

  • Create and issue periodic invoices based on monthly/quarterly activities

  • Work with the technical accounting team to draft revenue recognition memos and schedules for new agreements

  • Support internal and external auditors in their annual audit, quarterly review, and SOX review procedures

  • Cross-train on different areas of accounting for others on the Finance and Accounting team to serve as a backup

About You:

We are looking for a team player to join our group, someone who can work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.  A Degree in Accounting or Finance with 5+ years overall accounting experience, with revenue accounting experience preferred. If you describe yourself as analytical, highly detail-oriented, organized, self-motivated, and committed to a high level of accuracy, then we encourage you to apply!  Additional role requirements include:

  • Biotech/Life Sciences experience either in industry or exposure through public accounting (commercial experience a plus)

  • CPA and/or MBA highly preferred

  • Must have a strong work ethic and be able to meet critical deadlines

Meet your future team:

This role reports to the Director, Accounting and works directly with the other members of the close-knit finance and accounting team. While a small team of 7, you will join a group of passionate individuals who enjoy working with one another.  Led by the CFO, the broader group is also comprised of Financial Reporting and Internal Controls, Equity and Payroll, Procurement, FP&A and Strategic Sourcing, IT, Investor Relations, Corporate Communications, Facility Operations, and Program Management.

Currently, we have team members in both hybrid and remote capacities, so we will not require you to be local to our Cambridge, MA office.  Although in a partially virtual environment, the Accounting team has made it a priority to continue to foster a sense of community among the group.  You can expect to join a passionate, hardworking, and collaborative environment.
