• Serve as a primary point of escalation for revenue-related judgment calls, including non-standard billing arrangements, contract modifications, and complex credits or corrections, providing clear, well-reasoned recommendations grounded in policy
• Partner closely with Billing to ensure alignment between invoicing and revenue recognition, identifying and resolving discrepancies early rather than downstream
• Lead monthly analytical reviews, identifying revenue trends, anomalies, and risks, and clearly communicating root causes and recommended actions to stakeholders
• Collaborate with FP&A to improve revenue forecasting accuracy and explain variances between actuals, forecasts, and prior periods
• Partner with Business Systems on revenue-impacting system changes, enhancements, and implementations, with a focus on reducing manual workarounds over time
• Drive continuous improvement across revenue accounting processes, including documentation, standardization, and automation initiatives
• Maintain and enhance revenue accounting policies, templates, and playbooks to support scalability, audit readiness, and consistent judgment
• Support external audits by owning revenue-related audit areas, preparing schedules, and responding to auditor inquiries with clear, well-documented support
• Mentor and provide guidance to junior accounting team members by modeling strong judgment, documentation, and escalation practices
• Contribute to special projects related to systems, process optimization, or accounting policy as the business evolves

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• 5–7+ years of progressive experience in revenue accounting, technical accounting, or a closely related role
• Strong, hands-on knowledge of ASC 606, with demonstrated ability to apply guidance to complex, real-world scenarios
• Clear understanding of point-in-time versus over-time revenue recognition patterns and how contract terms affect revenue timing
• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously, manage competing priorities during close cycles, and exercise sound accounting judgment without over-escalation
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to distill complex data and scenarios into clear, actionable conclusions
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication skills, including comfort partnering with non-accounting stakeholders
• Process-oriented mindset with a track record of documenting decisions, improving workflows, and reducing recurring issues over time
