Company
A San Diego biotechnology company specializing in iPSC-derived and primary human cells, disease-model cell lines, and bioassay services for pharma and research customers. Small, hands-on finance team where one person covers a lot of ground, so the work is broad rather than siloed.

- Works accurately at speed, and can hold A/P, A/R, and purchasing at the same time
- Steps into an existing process and runs it. This is a backfill, not a build

What you will own
- Monitor A/R aging reports, manage collections, and follow up with customers so outstanding invoices get paid on time
- Process A/P by verifying invoices, entering vendor bills, and preparing payment batches for approval
- Coordinate procurement and purchasing so goods and services arrive on time, monitoring purchases for budget compliance and operational needs
- Assist with month-end close, journal entries, and account reconciliations
- Support fixed asset tracking, inventory accounting, sales tax compliance, and ad hoc financial reporting
- Maintain accurate financial records in accordance with GAAP and company internal controls
Qualifications
Required
- Hands-on Accounts Receivable AND Accounts Payable experience. This is the core of the role
- NetSuite experience
- Comfortable supporting month-end close, journal entries, and account reconciliations
- Able to work on-site in San Diego
Bonus points
- Biotech or life sciences industry experience
- Procurement or purchasing coordination
- Inventory accounting, fixed assets, or sales tax compliance exposure
Compensation and benefits
- Pay rate: $35 to $45 per hour, depending on experience
- Type: Temporary assignment, W-2 through Pave Talent
- Schedule: On-site, San Diego, CA 92131
If you are an A/R and A/P specialist who can start quickly, we would like to talk.
