About The Position

The Senior Revenue Accountant plays a critical role in ensuring accurate, compliant, and scalable revenue recognition across the organization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This role serves as a subject-matter expert on ASC 606, owns key elements of the revenue close, and partners cross-functionally across Finance, FP&A, Billing, Legal, and Business Systems to improve execution across the quote-to-cash lifecycle. This position requires strong technical accounting judgment, comfort operating in a fast-paced and evolving environment, and the ability to translate complex contract and billing scenarios into clear, executable revenue outcomes. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, escalates thoughtfully, and helps convert one-off decisions into repeatable processes.

Strong, hands-on knowledge of ASC 606, with demonstrated ability to apply guidance to complex, real-world scenarios
Clear understanding of point-in-time versus over-time revenue recognition patterns and how contract terms affect revenue timing
Experience in a high-growth, complex, or evolving environment preferred
Working experience with ERP and billing systems; familiarity with Sage Intacct and/or BillingPlatform is a plus
Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously, manage competing priorities during close cycles, and exercise sound accounting judgment without over-escalation
Strong analytical skills with the ability to distill complex data and scenarios into clear, actionable conclusions
Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills, including comfort partnering with non-accounting stakeholders
Process-oriented mindset with a track record of documenting decisions, improving workflows, and reducing recurring issues over time

Serve as a primary point of escalation for revenue-related judgment calls, including non-standard billing arrangements, contract modifications, and complex credits or corrections, providing clear, well-reasoned recommendations grounded in policy

Lead monthly analytical reviews, identifying revenue trends, anomalies, and risks, and clearly communicating root causes and recommended actions to stakeholders

Partner with Business Systems on revenue-impacting system changes, enhancements, and implementations, with a focus on reducing manual workarounds over time
Drive continuous improvement across revenue accounting processes, including documentation, standardization, and automation initiatives
Maintain and enhance revenue accounting policies, templates, and playbooks to support scalability, audit readiness, and consistent judgment
Support external audits by owning revenue-related audit areas, preparing schedules, and responding to auditor inquiries with clear, well-documented support
