About The Position

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Senior Accountant to join our finance team. This role is a critical intersection of technical accounting, operational efficiency, and cross-functional collaboration. You will be responsible for the integrity of our revenue cycle—from complex Gross-to-Net (GTN) calculations to managing global time-tracking systems and intercompany R&D Transfer Pricing. The ideal candidate thrives in a high-compliance environment (SOX/SEC) and enjoys "connecting the dots" between third-party logistics data, internal R&D efforts, and final financial statements.

Requirements

3–5+ years of experience in accounting, specifically within revenue recognition or GTN accounting for a Life Sciences company.
Strong understanding of GAAP, SOX compliance, and SEC reporting requirements.
Proficiency in ERP systems and time-tracking software; advanced Excel skills are a must.
Ability to reconcile complex data sets from multiple sources (3PL, R&D, and Sales).
Comfortable collaborating across departments, from the Trade Team to FP&A and external auditors.

Responsibilities

Calculate Revenue and Gross-to-Net accounting, ensuring all deductions, rebates, and returns are accurately captured.
Lead reconciliation efforts for Revenue, GTN accounts, Deferred Revenue, and Accounts Receivable to ensure a timely and accurate close.
Maintain strict adherence to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls, FASB, and SEC pronouncements to ensure audit-ready financial reporting.
Serve as a primary point of contact for external audit inquiries, providing necessary documentation and explanations for revenue-related queries.
Frequently monitor Third-Party Logistics (3PL) data and activities to ensure data integrity and operational accuracy.
Analyze and process product returns based on pricing eligibility; research and reject unauthorized units issued as "Free Goods."
Partner with the Trade Team to resolve customer matters, specifically focusing on Customer Accounts Receivable health.
Calculate monthly and quarterly intercompany transfer pricing revenue related to Pipeline Research and Development.
Provide clean, actionable data to the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team for inclusion in the annual budget and rolling forecasts.
Maintain and continuously update the Global Time and Labor System, ensuring company-wide project time tracking is accurate for internal reporting and capitalization.
