• Perform month-end and year-end closing activities and prepare quarterly financial reports to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting.
• Support strategic financial activities like new investment rounds, capital raising, and other startup-related financial tasks.
• Work on automating processes and transitioning our financial operations from Excel to more advanced accounting software. This might involve working with software vendors, auditors, tax consultants, and other financial experts.

• Experience in planning and managing financial operations, preferably in a startup. This includes experience automating financial processes, and implementing new systems.
• Experience with day-to-day financial operations such as bill payments, invoice management, and month-end/year-end closing activities.
• Strong skills in analysing financial data, including budgeting, forecasting, and data analysis. You should be able to make sense of complex information and draw meaningful conclusions.

• We are committed to rethink how we provide healthcare, from treatment of diseases to preventive care to slow down aging and extend life and health.

• Our processes, company size and personal responsibilities are not yet established and will change faster than in a corporate environment. This means there is a lot of room for you to take responsibility and move fast, but it can also be overwhelming at times.
