Senior Accountant

BioPoint

is seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Accountant to play a pivotal role in our financial operations. As we transition our accounting functions in-house, you will be the engine behind our daily financial activities, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and transparency. This is a high-impact opportunity for a professional who enjoys being "in the weeds" of the general ledger while helping build the systems and safeguards that will support our continued growth in the life sciences sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Core Accounting: Execute day-to-day accounting operations, including General Ledger maintenance, Accounts Payable/Receivable, and payroll processing.
• Month-End Close: Lead the month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring all reconciliations are completed accurately and on schedule.
• Tax Support: Assist in the preparation of corporate and partnership tax filings; help track and apply federal, state, and local tax requirements.
• Financial Reporting: Prepare preliminary financial statements and budget-to-actual variance reports for review by leadership.
• Process Improvement: Assist in documenting and implementing internal controls and standard operating procedures (SOPs) as operations move in-house.
• Cash Management: Monitor daily cash flow and assist with budgeting and forecasting activities.
• Compliance & Audit: Prepare workpapers for external auditors and tax advisors; maintain organized digital records for all financial transactions.
• Data Analysis: Use Excel and ERP tools to identify trends and provide insights that support departmental decision-making.
  
  

Required

What We’re Looking For:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
• Experience: 3–5 years of progressive accounting experience (Public accounting or corporate experience both welcomed).
• Technical Skills: Strong foundational knowledge of GAAP.
• Systems: Proficiency with accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Sage) and Advanced Excel skills (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, etc.).
• Mindset: A "builder" mentality—comfortable navigating the ambiguity of moving functions from an external firm to an internal department.
  
  

Preferred

• Certification: CPA candidate or active CPA.
• Industry: Experience in staffing, professional services, or life sciences.
• Tax Exposure: Familiarity with multi-state sales/service tax and partnership structures.
• Payroll: Experience working with payroll funding or factoring partners.
