About the role
Reporting to the Revenue Manager, you will own end-to-end billing and revenue recognition for one of our core business lines (commercial real estate or enterprise), working in parallel with a staff accountant who covers the other. As we scale and onboard new business divisions, this role has real opportunity to grow into a revenue manager or collections lead function.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role in a lean team. Month-end and beginning-of-month are the busiest periods.
Responsibilities
- Prepare, review, and issue customer invoices in accordance with contract terms and billing schedules, including reading and interpreting contracts to determine what needs to be invoiced and when.
- Verify accuracy of billing data to ensure compliance with approved pricing and deliverables, including validating that what comes in from Salesforce reflects contractual obligations before invoicing out.
- Perform revenue reconciliations including month-end comparisons of billed and recognized revenue, including maintaining and reconciling deferred revenue schedules and spreading multi-line invoices across the appropriate recognition periods.
- Investigate and resolve discrepancies between billing schedules, revenue reports, and accounting records.
- Maintain and update billing schedules, trackers, and related documentation.
- Identify and correct missing, inaccurate, or duplicate billings.
- Perform collections tasks, coordinate with and support the sales team by providing invoice copies, documentation, and clarification for outstanding accounts.
- Cook up with internal departments (sales operations, customer success, procurement, etc.) to resolve billing and revenue-related inquiries.
- Provide necessary documentation during internal and external audits.
- Maintain organized financial records in accordance with company policies and audit requirements.
- Participate in the NetSuite implementation and user testing as we transition away from manual deferred revenue tracking; go-live is targeted for August 2026.
- Perform additional finance and accounting duties as assigned.

- Experience with ERP or invoicing systems such as NetSuite, or equivalent (preferred).
- Experience with SalesForce.
- Knowledge of basic accounting principles and revenue recognition concepts.
