Experienced Finance Professionals are Vital to the Success of Life Science Companies

The life science industry is filled with professionals who focus on specialized areas – research, clinical trials, partnering and so on. You wouldn’t hire a generalist for roles that require highly specialized skills. You also shouldn’t hire a generalist accounting and finance team. Life science companies need specific expertise in the lab and in the accounting and finance department.

PBO Advisory Group has the precise experience you need. We have a team of professionals with extensive backgrounds in accounting and finance for the life science industry, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biotech, and diagnostics. We understand the unique challenges that face your industry and have a treasure trove of skills, resources, and connections.

The PBO Advisory team has successfully worked with dozens of life science companies from founding through acquisition or IPO and beyond. Some entrepreneurs have used our team for multiple companies they have started. We can operate as your entire outsourced accounting and finance department or provide outsourced professionals to supplement skills not found in your in-house team.
