• Cash application: ensure payments are applied accurately and daily across checks, ACH, wires and lockbox; clear unapplied cash, short pays and deductions promptly; reconcile cash receipts to the bank and the subledger.
• Process and technology: design and document revenue accounting processes, controls and policies where few exist today; lead implementation and optimization of Revenova (TMS) and Accounting Seed workflows, integrations and automation for billing, AR and cash application; build reporting on DSO, aging, billing cycle time and cash forecasting inputs that leadership relies on.
• Leadership: lead, develop and grow the revenue accounting team, setting clear expectations and accountability; contribute to month‑end close on revenue, AR and cash; act as a trusted partner to operations, sales and branch leadership.
• Success metrics (Year One): document, control and own billing, AR and cash application processes; track delivery‑to‑invoice time and DSO weekly with trending down; keep unapplied cash and past‑due aging consistently under control; automate manual work in Revenova and Accounting Seed; stabilize, train and prepare the team for broader scope.
