About The Position

A biotechnology company in the stem cell banking industry is hiring a Finance Controller to take full ownership of daily financial operations and build the financial infrastructure needed to scale. The company is a lean, early-stage biotech (under 10 employees) that has recently completed an acquisition and is actively growing its lab operations and sales team. Leadership is highly autonomous and empowers team members to identify problems, implement solutions, and drive measurable results without hand-holding. There is no other finance staff — this hire works directly with a fractional CFO and the hiring manager.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in financial operations covering daily transaction matching, cash reconciliation, month-end close support, and financial reporting.
• Demonstrated proficiency in QuickBooks Online with direct use across multi-account reconciliation and financial reporting workflows.
• Documented experience owning or rebuilding accounts receivable, recurring billing, or failed payment recovery processes in a subscription or recurring revenue business.
• Proven use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent) for financial analysis, reporting automation, or workflow optimization — or demonstrated history of implementing financial automation tools.
• Experience integrating data across multiple systems (CRM + accounting platform + payment processor) with full ownership of accuracy across the stack.
• Minimum 2 years as the primary or sole finance operator in a company with fewer than 50 employees, with demonstrated autonomous execution under limited oversight.
• English at C1+ (CEFR) — required for direct collaboration with US-based leadership and fractional CFO.

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with Salesforce as a revenue data source integrated into an accounting system.
• Experience with Authorize.net, Stripe, or equivalent payment processors including ACH reconciliation.
• Financial oversight of physical inventory or COGS in a lab, manufacturing, or supply chain environment.
• Prior experience working alongside or reporting to a fractional CFO in an early-stage or scaling company.

Responsibilities

• Own daily cash reconciliation across QuickBooks Online, Authorize.net, and ACH.
• Support month-end close and financial reporting with the fractional CFO.
• Take full ownership of a broken recurring billing and failed payment recovery process for annual storage fees.
• Provide financial oversight of lab inventory.
