Job Description
Accounts Payable & Procurement
Oversee the procure‑to‑pay cycle in NetSuite, including entering and managing vendor bills, performing accurate three‑way matching of purchase orders, receipts, and invoices, and scheduling vendor payments according to terms. Enforce purchasing controls such as the use of purchase requisitions and approvals for expenditures, ensure POs are issued only to approved suppliers, and give special attention to purchases of regulated materials (e.g. controlled substances) to ensure all compliance requirements are met. Coordinate with vendors and internal departments to resolve billing or payment issues promptly, and utilize electronic payment methods (ACH/wires) as appropriate for efficient disbursements.
Accounts Receivable & Billing Manage the order‑to‑cash process from invoicing through collections. Generate and send customer invoices in NetSuite immediately upon product shipment, ensuring that products have passed all required quality inspections before billing. Record and apply incoming customer payments (checks, ACH, credit card, etc.), and reconcile any payment discrepancies. Continuously monitor accounts receivable aging and follow up on overdue invoices by sending reminders or statements, helping to maintain healthy cash flow. Work closely with the sales and customer service teams to address any billing questions or credit issues, and enforce credit terms or holds as needed to manage risk.
General Ledger & Reconciliation Maintain the general ledger and ensure all financial transactions are accurately recorded in NetSuite. Uphold an organized Chart of Accounts that meets reporting needs and supports clear tracking of financial activities. Reconcile sub‑ledgers for AR, AP, inventory, and other modules to the GL on a regular (monthly) basis to confirm that all subsidiary records tie to the financial statements. Perform bank reconciliations for all company bank accounts, investigating and resolving any discrepancies between bank statements and NetSuite records in a timely manner. Ensure that transactions flow appropriately from all modules to the GL (minimizing manual journal entries by capturing data upstream), and maintain supporting schedules for key balance sheet accounts (prepaids, accruals, fixed assets, inventory, etc.) as needed.
Inventory Management & Cost Accounting Work with the operations and supply chain teams to ensure inventory transactions are properly reflected in the financial system. Monitor inventory‑related entries such as receipts, adjustments, and usage so that inventory values in NetSuite remain accurate. Assist in reconciling physical inventory counts with system balances and investigate any variances. Calculate and record manufacturing cost variances or inventory adjustments (e.g. scrap, yield loss) in the GL each period, ensuring that cost of goods sold is correctly recognized when products are sold and that inventory is valued in accordance with GAAP. Support the procurement and production departments by providing financial insights into inventory levels, valuation, and turnover, and ensure that any inventory write‑offs or adjustments are properly documented and approved.
Compliance & Audit Ensure that all financial processes and record‑keeping adhere to company policies, GAAP, and relevant pharmaceutical industry regulations. This includes maintaining proper documentation and audit trails for all transactions, and implementing internal controls such as segregation of duties and approval workflows to safeguard assets (for example, dual approvals for high‑value transactions or journal entries). Verify that financial operations support compliance requirements specific to a 503B pharmaceutical manufacturing environment – for instance, confirming that shipments and invoices are only processed for licensed facilities and that purchases of controlled substances follow DEA guidelines and are appropriately documented. Prepare for and support any audits or inspections (internal, external, or regulatory): provide auditors with requested financial reports, supporting schedules, and evidence of controls (such as system approval logs or reconciliations) to demonstrate a compliant and well‑controlled finance operation. Proactively address any audit findings and strengthen processes to meet FDA and DEA record‑keeping standards as well as standard financial audits.
Month‑End Close & Reporting Manage the month‑end and year‑end close process, ensuring all tasks are completed accurately and on schedule. This includes posting necessary adjusting journal entries (accruals, deferrals, depreciation, etc.), reconciling all balance sheet accounts, and reviewing the trial balance for any anomalies or errors that need correction. Use a checklist to track close activities and coordinate with team members (and other departments) to obtain any needed information for close. Prepare timely financial statements – Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow – directly from NetSuite and perform initial reviews for accuracy. Investigate and explain significant period‑over‑period variances in financial results to assist management with understanding the company’s financial performance. Ensure that revenue is recognized in line with applicable accounting standards and that inventory is properly accounted for as an asset until sold (in compliance with GAAP). Provide financial reports and analysis to management as required, and participate in financial review meetings to present the data.
Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Process Improvement Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams – including procurement, inventory/warehouse, production, and quality assurance – to ensure financial data and processes are aligned with operational workflows. For example, work with the Quality Assurance department to implement controls such as holding vendor invoice payments until materials have passed QA inspection and are approved for use. Assist the supply chain team in establishing efficient procurement and inventory management practices by leveraging NetSuite capabilities (like automated approval routing or real‑time inventory tracking). Continuously evaluate the efficiency of our NetSuite financial workflows and identify opportunities for improvement or further automation. This could include implementing accounts payable automation tools (OCR invoice scanning, electronic approvals), optimizing the usage of NetSuite reports/analytics for better AP/AR metrics tracking, or refining our financial policies to better suit the pharma manufacturing context. Provide recommendations to management for system or process enhancements and help test/implement new NetSuite features or updates. Additionally, offer training or guidance to junior finance staff or other NetSuite users in the company to ensure consistent and correct use of the system.
