About the role
This role is ideal for someone with a strong foundation in revenue accounting, a practical understanding of month-end close and ASC 606, and a track record of improving the processes around them. Rather than owning recurring close activities, you’ll partner with Revenue Accounting and Systems Engineering to redesign the workflows, controls, and tooling that make close faster, more predictable, and easier to scale.
Responsibilities
- Make revenue close measurably more predictable by reducing manual effort and operational risk in the workflows
- Diagnose and map 1–2 highest-friction revenue close workflows (recons, tie-outs, variance analysis, documentation), align on “better,” and ship an initial improvement with clear adoption and evidence expectations
- Implement a controlled AI-assisted workflow for repeatable analysis and documentation (e.g., variance investigation scaffolds, documentation drafts, checklist QA) with review steps, controls, and audit-ready artifacts
- Deliver 2–3 durable process/tooling improvements that materially reduce recurring close effort and error risk, with clear ownership and “new way” documentation that holds up through multiple closes
- Raise the bar on operational rigor (requirements, acceptance criteria, testing, control narratives) so changes move from idea → delivery → adoption without heroics
Requirements
- 3–5 years of progressive revenue accounting experience, ideally at both a Big Four accounting firm and a SaaS company
- Fluency in ASC 606 and month-end close mechanics — you can spot issues, ask the right questions, and propose pragmatic fixes that hold up under scrutiny
- Track record improving finance/accounting operations (recons, tie-outs, variance analysis, documentation, control narratives) end-to-end — from messy current state to shipped change and sustained adoption
- Strong project management, execution, and organization: clear project plans, crisp written updates, and the ability to move work predictably from idea → requirements → delivery → rollout
- Comfort partnering with technical teams (BizTech/Engineering): translating accounting needs into requirements, acceptance criteria, and testing approaches; validating outputs; and tightening the loop when reality doesn’t match the spec
- Practical, thoughtful use of AI to improve quality and speed in repeatable work — with QA, documentation, and guardrails that make the workflow audit-ready
Skills You'll Need To Bring
- Experience leading complex, cross-functional projects beyond standard audit work
- Experience in a revenue operations, revenue accounting transformation, or accounting systems role
- Exposure to usage-based or consumption pricing and the billing / revenue recognition complexity it creates
