    Description
    THIS IS A HYBRID ROLE OUT OF OUR CAMBRIDGE, MA OFFICE

    Nearly 37 million Americans are currently affected by Chronic Kidney Disease. 37 million.


    At Akebia we take that number very seriously and every day we come to work, with the purpose of bettering the lives of each person impacted by kidney disease and the renal community that serves them.


    Our tenacious, passionate employees challenge the status quo and work to develop unique therapeutics that have the potential to set new standards of care for people living with kidney disease.

    Build financial infrastructure and policies that will support the company's growth and drive continuous improvements in financial systems and processes.

    Serve as a business partner and build relationships cross-functionally to foster collaboration both inside and outside of accounting.


    Direct and lead accounting teams in the development, implementation and oversight of company-wide accounting policies and controls consistent with SEC, US GAAP and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

    Work closely with the CFO on presenting materials to the Audit Committee.


    Manage relationship and reporting matters with the audit firm and interface effectively with external and internal audit resources to resolve complex accounting and auditing issues.

    Work closely with the FP&A team to support external reporting requirements.


    Participate and collaborate with company programs, projects, and objectives which require extensive communication, change management and interactions with other finance leaders (e.g., FP&A, investor relations) and the CFO, as well as other functional leaders.

    Responsible for departmental operating budgets and preparation of board-level and management reports.
