We’re growing fast and are looking for a detail-oriented, motivated Assistant Accountant to play a vital role in our Finance team. This is more than just a numbers job — it’s your chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients around the world.

• Contributing to budgeting, forecasting, and financial analysis
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and reporting accuracy

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Previous experience in a finance or accounting role, preferably in an SME
• A good grasp of accounting principles and reconciliation best practices
• Proficiency with accounting software (e.g., NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero)
• Great attention to detail, a proactive attitude, and solid problem-solving skills
• Ability to work independently and meet tight deadlines in a fast-moving environment

At Nonacus, we’re innovation-first, mission-driven, and seriously collaborative. You’ll work alongside passionate teams — including our Co-Founders — in a well-equipped, comfortable lab and office space. We’re big on teamwork, low on egos, and love bringing the whole company together for regular socials. Come help us change how cancer is diagnosed — and enjoy doing it.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know.

We're not just decoding DNA; we're unlocking the potential of every individual, and that includes you!
