We’re a growing U.S. subsidiary of a world‑leading pharmaceutical and healthcare company specializing in IV solutions and clinical nutrition. With a rich history of innovation and a strong global presence, our mission is to bring advanced healthcare products and reliable supply solutions to the North American market.

Following a recent strategic joint venture with a major U.S. medical device company, we’re in an exciting startup phase — building our U.S. foundation, expanding our team, and shaping a dynamic, collaborative culture that bridges Japan and America.

If you’re a hands‑on finance professional who thrives in a fast‑moving, global environment, this is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact.

We’re looking for a Senior Accountant who will play a key role in managing U.S. accounting and financial operations. You’ll handle full‑cycle accounting, financial reporting, cash flow management, and audit coordination, while helping build scalable systems to support our long‑term growth.

This role requires an individual who is detail‑oriented, analytical, and proactive — someone who takes ownership of their work and enjoys the challenge of building structure in a growing organization.

Finance & Planning

• Monitor cash flow, prepare forecasts, and manage banking relationships.
• Support budgeting, variance analysis, and financial planning activities.
• Collaborate with leadership on strategic financial insights.

Tax & Compliance

• Assist with tax filings and ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and local regulations.
• Maintain strong internal controls and process integrity.

Global Consolidation & Reporting

• Prepare reporting packages for headquarters in Japan.
• Ensure timely, accurate consolidation data for global reporting.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 5+ years of progressive accounting or finance experience.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (VLOOKUP, data analysis) and QuickBooks.
• Strong understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.

Preferred

• Experience in international or Japanese business environments.
• Knowledge of consolidation and cross‑border financial processes.
• Japanese language ability (a plus, not required).
