We’re supporting a venture-backed biotech company that operates through multiple subsidiaries across Canada with entities in the US and UK. The finance function is lean, hands-on, and built for scale—meaning your work will directly influence how cleanly this organization closes, consolidates, andreports as it grows.

This is a new, high-trust accounting role focused on multi-jurisdiction, multi-entity accounting and intercompany coordination across Canada, the UK, and the US. You’ll act as an advisory-style partner to CFO-level stakeholders—someone who can both execute and explain the “why” behind the numbers. There are no perfectly pre-built processes waiting for you here; you’ll help shape how intercompany flows are tracked, how entities are coordinated, and howreporting stays accurate across different standards. If you enjoy solving messy accounting structures and turning them into a clean, repeatable system, you’ll have real impact in this seat.

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

Must-Have

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-Have

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

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)
