About The Position

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it. At Vanta, we’re scaling fast—and we’re building a finance team that can scale with us. As we grow and evolve, we’re tackling increasingly complex and exciting accounting challenges. If you’re a detail-oriented, systems-savvy accounting professional who thrives in dynamic environments and wants to help shape the future of a rapidly growing company, we’d love to meet you. As our Senior Revenue Accountant, you'll play a critical role in both the accuracy of our financials and the evolution of our accounting operations. You’ll own some of the most complex and high-judgment areas of our close, like revenue reconciliations, revenue reporting, and commission deferrals and accruals, while also reviewing lower-risk areas such as cash payout postings to ensure completeness and accuracy. But that’s just part of the job. Beyond close, you’ll help identify inefficiencies, build automation, and implement scalable processes that support our next phase of growth. You'll work cross-functionally with FP&A, Engineering, Billing Operations, Deal Desk and Business Systems teams, helping to bridge accounting rigor with operational excellence.
