Senior Technical Revenue Accountant

Mercury Systems•Andover, MA

About The Position

Join a very collaborative, growing technical accounting team in the defense/aerospace domain, leading revenue recognition and monthly close, financial reporting, technical accounting research and memos, coordination with auditors, and other ad-hoc technical accounting projects. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in public accounting or working with public companies to be in the driver's seat of their career, allowing them to take on more opportunities to foster growth! In this position you will get exposure to other depts outside of accounting as well and not be siloed solely in accounting. In addition, you would have more work-life balance than you might encounter at a public accounting firm where you are putting in extensive hours in the busy season, and you will have every other Friday off!
