About The Position

Fireworks is seeking a highly motivated, detail-oriented Senior Revenue Accountant to support and scale end-to-end revenue accounting processes as the company grows. The role requires strong technical accounting knowledge, particularly in ASC 606, and comfort evaluating complex and evolving commercial arrangements such as committed contracts, consumption-based arrangements, usage-based billing, credits, discounts, and other non-standard terms.

This hands-on position works closely with Sales, Deal Desk/Revenue Operations, Billing, Finance, Legal, Systems, and other teams to evaluate contracts, recognize revenue accurately, and build scalable processes and systems. The accountant will help ensure revenue can be traced from commercial terms and customer activity through billing and into the general ledger, while supporting new products and pricing models with clear, auditable accounting practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of relevant accounting experience, including meaningful revenue recognition experience.
• Strong working knowledge of ASC 606 and experience evaluating customer contracts and revenue arrangements.
• Experience working with large datasets and reconciling information across multiple systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment where products, systems, and processes continue to evolve.
• Strong communication skills and ability to translate technical accounting requirements into practical guidance for non-accounting stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• CPA preferred.
• Experience with SaaS, cloud infrastructure, AI, technology, or other usage- or consumption-based business models strongly preferred.
• Experience with NetSuite or another major ERP system preferred.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• SQL or experience working directly with data warehouses is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Support the monthly revenue close, including preparing revenue-related journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
• Review new and existing customer contracts under ASC 606 and document revenue recognition conclusions.
• Evaluate complex or non-standard contract terms, including usage-based pricing, committed spend, minimum commitments, credits, discounts, contract modifications, and renewals.
• Maintain and reconcile revenue schedules for revenue, accounts receivable, deferred revenue, unbilled receivables, and customer credits.
• Reconcile revenue recognition data to billing, usage, contract, and general ledger data, and investigate discrepancies.
• Develop and maintain revenue accounting workbooks, rollforwards, and supporting documentation with clear audit trails from contracts and usage data through the general ledger.
• Partner with Billing and Revenue Operations to align customer billing and revenue recognition while maintaining the distinction between billing and accounting requirements.
• Work with Sales, Legal, Deal Desk, and Finance on new products, pricing models, contract structures, and commercial terms to identify accounting implications.
• Support accounting assessments and operationalization of new products and SKUs, including determining revenue recognition treatment and ensuring required accounting data is captured.
• Prepare technical accounting memos and documentation for significant or complex revenue accounting conclusions.
• Support external audits by preparing revenue schedules, contract samples, reconciliations, and responses to auditor inquiries.
• Identify opportunities to improve and automate revenue accounting processes, controls, reconciliations, and reporting.
• Partner with Systems and cross-functional teams to improve integration and data flow among CRM, billing, usage, and ERP systems.
• Help design and maintain effective internal controls over revenue recognition and reporting.
• Support the development of scalable revenue accounting policies and procedures as the company and its product offerings evolve.
