About The Position
HireHawk is seeking an Accountant for a remote, full-time position supporting a venture-backed biotech company with multiple subsidiaries across Canada, the US, and the UK. This role is crucial for ensuring the accuracy of accounting, consolidation, and reporting as the organization grows. The finance function is lean and designed for scale, offering a high-trust environment where the successful candidate will directly influence financial processes. This is a new role focused on multi-jurisdiction, multi-entity accounting and intercompany coordination. The accountant will act as an advisory partner to CFO-level stakeholders, capable of both execution and explaining financial insights. The position involves shaping intercompany tracking, entity coordination, and reporting accuracy across different standards, offering a significant impact for those who enjoy structuring and refining complex accounting systems.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience supporting multinational, multi-entity accounting with subsidiaries under a parent company
- Proven multi-jurisdiction accounting experience in both UK and Canada environments
- Strong intercompany accounting experience, including eliminations/reconciliations and consolidation support
- Confident working knowledge of IFRS and the ability to apply it in real-world scenarios
- Experience working alongside CFOs or finance leadership in a support/advisory capacity
- Strong remote communication skills and the ability to collaborate across regions with regular progress updates
- Ability to work Monday–Friday with daily overlap with an Eastern Time (EST) team (hours are flexible, overlap is required)
Nice To Haves
- Experience supporting US entities and/or bridging between US GAAP and IFRS reporting needs
- CPA certification (or equivalent) and experience in controlled/regulated industries
- Biotech or life sciences exposure (especially in multi-entity, venture-backed environments)
- QuickBooks experience (or similar SMB accounting tools) plus strong Excel/Sheets capability
- Experience setting up intercompany frameworks, charts of accounts, or close infrastructure from scratch
Responsibilities
- Own day-to-day accounting support across a multinational biotech structure (Canada with US and UK entities), ensuring accuracy across all books
- Build and maintain reliable intercompany transaction tracking (billing, recharges, loans, eliminations) so balances tie out cleanly each period
- Support consolidation-ready accounting and coordination across entities, helping create a clear path to consolidated reporting
- Partner closely with CFO-level stakeholders to deliver clean financial insights, explanations, and progress updates (not just spreadsheets)
- Ensure accounting practices align across differing regulatory and reporting environments, flagging risks early and proposing practical fixes
- Improve or establish core close processes (checklists, timelines, reconciliations) in an environment with evolving systems and structure
- Coordinate effectively with distributed teams across regions, communicating status, blockers, and next steps with consistency
- Maintain high-quality documentation of entity structures, intercompany assumptions, and accounting decisions to reduce future ambiguity
Benefits
- Access to a $200k+ perk marketplace with instant discounts on 150+ services
- Access up to 50% of approved earnings before payday (no credit checks or fees)
