Requirements

8+ years of progressive experience in public accounting, revenue accounting, or technical accounting, ideally with exposure to a commercial or deal desk environment.
Deep, applied knowledge of ASC 606 and can confidently assess revenue recognition implications of complex contract structures - including rebates, incentives, make-goods, and performance guarantees - without needing to escalate every judgment call.
Ownership reviewing and concluding on revenue-related journal entries and reconciliations.
Ability to collaborate and influence cross-functionally with Sales, Legal, FP&A, and Technical Accounting.
Resilient and adaptable, with the ability to provide clarity and direction while leading through ambiguity.
Experience supporting SOX controls and responding to internal and external audit requests related to revenue and commercial agreements.
Strong written communicator who can draft clear memos, approval rationale, and accounting position papers that stand up to auditor scrutiny.

Nice To Haves

Big Four experience is preferred; experience in adtech, media, or a platform business with complex incentive and trading agreement structures is a plus.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary Controllership decision-maker for all non-standard and high-value commercial agreements, including trading agreements, rebates, payment term extensions, and ad credits - providing clear approvals, risk assessments, and ASC 606 compliance determinations.
Partner closely with Sales, GTM, Legal, and Finance to structure deals that balance commercial flexibility with revenue recognition compliance and company profitability goals.
Own the end-to-end accounting review for revenue transactions, including monthly reconciliations, unbilled revenue, rebates, performance guarantees, and incentive accruals.
Enforce compliance with incentive policies, approval matrices, and SOX-relevant controls, ensuring all approved deals have complete documentation stored in the appropriate systems.
Collaborate with the revenue and AR team to ensure deal structures are operationally workable, with clear invoicing logic, accounting treatments, rebate calculation methods, and settlement mechanics.
Flag deals with elevated credit or collection risk and recommend mitigations in partnership with the AR team.
Proactively identify opportunities to improve deal templates, tracking processes, and accounting workflows to increase efficiency and audit readiness over time.
Support internal and external audit requests, as well as special projects.
