Junior Accountant

About the role

MJH Life Sciences is the largest privately-held medical media company in North America, delivering trusted insights to healthcare professionals across oncology, specialty pharmacy, managed care, and dozens of other therapeutic areas. We're growing fast, and we're building a finance team to match that ambition. The Opportunity

What You'll Do

• Support the month-end and year-end close process, including journal entries, account reconciliations, and accruals.
• Prepare bank reconciliations and investigate variances.
• Help maintain the general ledger and ensure compliance with GAAP.
• Contribute to the preparation of internal financial reports and support external audit requests.
• Identify process inefficiencies and propose improvements — we want your ideas, not just your data entry.
• Partner cross-functionally with business unit leaders to understand the "why" behind the numbers.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, conferred within the last 12 months.
• Strong academic record; CPA-eligible or actively pursuing CPA licensure is a significant plus.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel — pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, and the ability to learn advanced functions quickly.
• Strong analytical mindset and genuine curiosity about how businesses operate.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you can explain a variance to a non-finance manager without losing them.
• High attention to detail and personal accountability for your work.
• Working knowledge of AI and desire to build further.

What Sets The Right Candidate Apart

• You ask "why" before you ask "what."
• You finish things.
• You're comfortable being the most junior person in a room and still speaking up when you spot something off.
• You treat feedback as fuel.
• You'd rather be useful than impressive.

What We Offer

• Competitive starting salary, performance bonus eligibility, comprehensive medical/dental/vision coverage, 401(k) with company match, generous PTO, CPA exam reimbursement and study support, and direct mentorship from senior finance leadership.
• Compensation Range: $65,000 – $75,000 annually, depending on qualifications.
• Eligible for annual company bonus program or commission incentive based on role.

Benefits Overview

• Hybrid work schedule
• Health insurance through Cigna (medical & dental)
• Vision coverage through VSP
• Pharmacy benefits through Optum
• FSA, HSA, Dependent Care FSA, and Limited Purpose FSA options
• 401(k) and Roth 401(k) with company match
• Pet discount program with PetAssure
• Norton LifeLock identity theft protection
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through NYLGBS
• Fertility benefits through Progyny
• Commuter benefits
• Company-paid Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
• Supplemental Aflac coverage: Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity
• Discounts and rewards through BenefitHub

AI Capability Expectation

• Candidates should be prepared to discuss how they use AI in their accounting work and their approach to building on it.
• This includes perspective on where AI can responsibly support core accounting work — reconciliations, reporting, and analysis — and a desire to keep building that fluency to drive process improvements.
• Specific examples of how you've used AI tools in coursework, internships, or early roles — and how you checked the output rather than taking it at face value.
• How you stay current with new tools and actively build your fluency — treating it as an ongoing skill, not a one-time checkbox.
• Bonus: examples where you used AI to improve a process or workflow — spotting an inefficiency and doing something about it, not just speeding up a task.
