- Ensure compliance with GAAP and healthcare/laboratory regulations
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management
- Establish and enhance internal controls and financial procedures
- Partner with executive leadership on financial strategy and operational performance
- Manage audits, tax filings, and external financial relationships
- Hire, develop, and lead the accounting team as the organization scales
Qualifications
- 5+ years of progressive accounting and finance experience
- Prior Controller experience required
- Laboratory, healthcare, or regulated industry experience strongly preferred
