Key Responsibilities Revenue & Financial Reporting * GTN Management: Calculate Revenue and Gross-to-Net accounting, ensuring all deductions, rebates, and returns are accurately captured. * Month-End Close: Lead reconciliation efforts for Revenue, GTN accounts, Deferred Revenue, and Accounts Receivable to ensure a timely and accurate close. * Compliance: Maintain strict adherence to Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) controls, FASB, and SEC pronouncements to ensure audit-ready financial reporting. * Audit Support: Serve as a primary point of contact for external audit inquiries, providing necessary documentation and explanations for revenue-related queries. Operational Analysis & Logistics * 3PL Oversight: Frequently monitor Third-Party Logistics (3PL) data and activities to ensure data integrity and operational accuracy. * Returns & Free Goods: Analyze and process product returns based on pricing eligibility; research and reject unauthorized units issued as "Free Goods." * Trade Team Support: Partner with the Trade Team to resolve customer matters, specifically focusing on Customer Accounts Receivable health. Strategic & Global Projects * Intercompany R&D: Calculate monthly and quarterly intercompany transfer pricing revenue related to Pipeline Research and Development. * Budgeting: Provide clean, actionable data to the Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team for inclusion in the annual budget and rolling forecasts. * Systems Management: Maintain and continuously update the Global Time and Labor System, ensuring company-wide project time tracking is accurate for internal reporting and capitalization. Qualifications * Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in accounting, specifically within revenue recognition or GTN accounting for a Life Sciences company. * Technical Skills: Strong understanding of GAAP, SOX compliance, and SEC reporting requirements. * System Savvy: Proficiency in ERP systems and time-tracking software; advanced Excel skills are a must. * Analytical Mindset: Ability to reconcile complex data sets from multiple sources (3PL, R&D, and Sales). * Communication: Comfortable collaborating across departments, from the Trade Team to FP&A and external auditors. The annual base salary for this position ranges from $89,000 to $100,000. In addition, this position is eligible for an annual performance pay bonus.
