Your Opportunity

Are you looking for a high-impact finance role that offers true flexibility? We are seeking a Lead Revenue Accountant to join our team in a fully remote capacity. In this pivotal role, you won't just be managing spreadsheets; you will be a key partner to our Revenue Accounting Senior Manager, helping to shape and build our revenue processes from the ground up.

If you thrive on autonomy and want to skip the commute to focus on meaningful work, this is the role for you.

What You'll Do:

  • Technical Consultation: Review customer contracts and non-standard terms to determine the correct revenue treatment, providing clear and concise accounting documentation.
  • Financial Integrity: Prepare and reconcile essential revenue schedules, including deferred revenue and contract assets/liabilities, maintaining a high standard of precision.
  • Process Innovation: Drive continuous improvement by streamlining our Order-to-Cash processes and supporting vital SOX audit controls.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Act as a subject matter expert on special projects and ad-hoc requests, providing the revenue accounting insights needed for senior management to make informed decisions.
This Role Requires:
  • Solid Foundation: A strong background in accounting, likely gained through a combination of Big 4 audit/advisory and US public company experience.
  • ASC 606 Expertise: Comprehensive knowledge of US GAAP and the ASC 606 framework, specifically within a SOX-controlled environment.
  • Operational Agility: The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines while working independently in a remote setting.
  • Clear Communication: A talent for explaining complex accounting conclusions to stakeholders across the business.
Bonus Points:
  • Industry Experience: Previous experience navigating SaaS or consumption-based revenue models.
  • Technical Toolkit: Familiarity with NetSuite, Zuora, or Salesforce CPQ.
