About Plasmidsaurus

Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate new cures and promote a healthier planet by unlocking a new level of productivity for scientists. Our sequencing services are used daily by thousands of innovators, including Nobel laureates, Fortune 100 pharma, and over 70,000 scientists.

We began by revolutionizing plasmid sequencing, making it exponentially cheaper and faster, with innovative sequencing technologies and a global network of laboratories that turn samples into answers in hours, not weeks.

Now we are expanding that same disruptive model across all of genomics. With the launch of our new RNA-seq service, we are taking a bold step toward our vision to sequence everything, providing scientists everywhere with faster, simpler, and more affordable access to the data that powers discovery.

Every team member at Plasmidsaurus plays a crucial role in driving the future of biotech research. Together, we are building the world’s most efficient sequencing engine that operates overnight, scales globally, and helps scientists make breakthroughs faster than ever before.

Role Overview

As Plasmidsaurus continues to grow, we need an Accounting Manager to help our accounting operations keep pace. Reporting to the Controller, you'll manage accounts payable, inventory accounting, and global month-end close, while keeping our processes and documentation to a standard that holds up under audit as we grow across the US, Europe, and Asia.

This is a hands-on role for an Accounting Manager who wants to build infrastructure from the ground up, not just maintain what's already there. It's an opportunity to continue building the foundation for the finance function at a fast-growing biotech company.

Become the system owner of our AI-native ERP system, Rillet, and ensure we're utilizing the features and modules available.

Own ASC 606 revenue recognition and ASC 842 lease accounting compliance by partnering with the controller to build accounting schedules and documentation.

Financial Operations & Audit Readiness

Ensure process compliance and documentation for audit readiness, partnering with the Controller on schedules and the external auditor relationship.

Work with our People Team to ensure payroll is processed accurately across all entities.

Team & Compliance

Serve as point of contact with local accounting firms for foreign entities, owning their accounting and consolidation.
