Director of Revenue Accounting & Assurance

Overview

The organization is seeking a Director of Revenue Accounting & Assurance to own how revenue is recognized, recorded, and defended across a business that blends warehousing, fulfillment, parcel, and software.

There is no dedicated revenue accounting team today, so this role will own the function from day one—setting the technical accounting position under ASC 606 and building an assurance program that provides confidence to the CFO, external auditors, and the board in the revenue numbers reported.

Responsibilities

Revenue accounting

• Own the monthly and quarterly revenue close, including accruals for usage-based fulfillment, storage, transportation and parcel charges, and unbilled revenue.
• Own ASC 606 analysis for new and amended customer contracts (MSAs, SOWs, pricing schedules), including performance obligations, principal vs. agent, variable consideration, contract modifications, and software vs. services allocation.
• Own the revenue recognition policy, technical memos, and the revenue recognition playbook; keep guidance current as the product mix changes.
• Own reserves for customer credits (such as service and SLA credits), including estimation methodology, monthly true-ups, and support for auditors.
• Own revenue analytics, including revenue by customer, service line, and contract; flux and trend analysis; and metrics that explain revenue movement to Finance leadership.
• Partner with Billing and Systems to ensure contract terms, rate cards, and billing data flow accurately into the general ledger.

Assurance and controls

• Design, run, and continuously improve the revenue control environment, including SOX-readiness controls, reconciliations, billing-to-GL tie-outs, and revenue completeness checks.
• Build an assurance program that tests revenue before it reaches external auditors, using data and analytics to identify billing leakage, duplicate charges, and rate-card variances.
• Serve as the primary revenue contact for external auditors, including PBC lists, walkthroughs, technical accounting positions, and remediation of findings.
• Prepare for audits, diligence, and potential IPO readiness requirements, including disclosures and footnote support.

Leadership

• Lead and scale the revenue accounting function (hands-on today; team build-out based on evolving business needs).
• Drive automation of revenue workflows, reconciliations, and flux analysis with the finance systems stack.
• Brief the CFO and Controller on revenue trends, risks, and key judgments.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance; active CPA required.
• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including owning revenue accounting end to end and leading or building a team where needed, with Big 4 or public company experience.
• Experience with M&A integrations, including bringing acquired revenue streams, contracts, and systems into the close and supporting purchase accounting.
• Deep, hands-on ASC 606 expertise for complex, multi-element contracts and usage-based or variable pricing.
• Proven experience designing and operating revenue controls in a SOX or SOX-ready environment and managing external audits.
• Strong comfort with data: ability to trace a number from the contract to the invoice to the ledger, and use SQL or BI tools (or manage a team that does) to test results.
• Experience with an ERP and billing stack (for example NetSuite and a usage-based billing system) and close management tools.
• Track record of working hands-on in a lean function; if a team is needed, build and develop people and communicate technical accounting clearly to non-accountants.
• Sound judgment, high integrity, and the confidence to say “not yet” when support isn’t available.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in 3PL, logistics, supply chain, or marketplace businesses with high-volume, rate-card-driven billing.
• Experience with a combination of services and SaaS revenue streams.
• Prior involvement in an IPO, SPAC, or carve-out readiness effort.
• Familiarity with automation and AI tools for close, flux analysis, and reconciliation work.
