Finance Associate

Princeton, NJ Full-time Finance

Posted September 3, 2026 by Hill Research

The Role

This role sits at the center of finance and fundraising, building the materials that drive decisions: financial models, projections, analyses, investor decks, and due diligence support. Most of your time is spent on that build work, with the reporting cycle as the foundation underneath it and a smaller share of client-facing work as you grow into the role.

You will work directly with senior leadership, with visibility from month-end close through term sheet. As Hill Research scales, so does this role. We sponsor work visas for qualified candidates.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the financial reporting cycle, including statement preparation, monthly and quarterly close, budgeting, and forecasting
  • Prepare pitching materials and support fundraising execution
  • Represent Hill Research in client-facing settings, including investor and industry conferences and networking events

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of finance experience, with a track record of owning deliverables end to end; experience with QuickBooks is a plus
  • Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Finance, or a related field; an MBA is a plus. Recent graduates with relevant internship or leadership experience are also welcome to apply
  • Comfortable with AI tools and eager to leverage them to work more efficiently
  • Exposure to or strong interest in life sciences, pharma, and AI

Who Thrives Here

  • Takes ownership of a project and drives it through to completion, with an eye for detail
  • Works proactively in a fast-paced environment, manages priorities well, and adapts quickly to change
  • Responsive, dependable, and accountable for the work they deliver

Why Join Us

  • Direct exposure to the executive team and to high-stakes projects that shape company decisions
  • Real scope and autonomy, without the layers that come with a larger finance organization
  • Close mentorship from senior leadership across finance, fundraising, and strategy
