Senior Accountant, Revenue

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically strong Senior Accountant to join our growing accounting team in a revenue-focused role. This is a critical position at a fast-growing SaaS company with a high-volume, complex transaction environment.

In this role, you will own revenue accounting and recognition under ASC 606, work directly with large, complex, and sometimes ambiguous datasets, and partner closely with our Finance systems,  Revenue Operations, Legal, and Billings teams. You will bring both technical accounting depth and the data skills to operate effectively at scale.

This is an individual contributor role reporting to the Director of Accounting, working closely with the Revenue Accounting Manager on day-to-day revenue operations. Our team is collaborative, fast-moving, and deeply committed to your professional development.

If you thrive in environments where the data is messy, the standards are nuanced, and the stakes are high — this role is for you.

What You’ll Do:

Revenue Recognition (ASC 606)

• Support month-end revenue close, including preparation of revenue related journal entries
• Assist with reconciliations of invoices, deposits, and other revenue-related accounts, ensuring accuracy and timely resolution of reconciling items 
• Review customer contracts to identify performance obligations, determine transaction price, and assess allocation and recognition timing under ASC 606
• Maintain and continuously improve revenue recognition documentation and memos for audit and technical accounting purposes

Data Analysis & Reconciliations

• Reconcile revenue sub-ledger to the general ledger across Salesforce and Stripe, and contract management system in a high-volume transaction environment
• Run SQL queries to extract and analyze revenue data from our data warehouse (Snowflake), supporting reconciliations, variance analysis, and ad hoc investigations
• Identify and investigate data anomalies, escalate systemic issues, and partner with Billings, Finance System and Rev Ops to resolve root causes
• Build and own scalable reconciliation frameworks that can handle volume and complexity

Audit & Technical Accounting

• Prepare PBC schedules, technical accounting memos, and supporting documentation for external auditors (Big 4)
• Support ongoing revenue recognition remediation efforts and process improvement initiatives
• Assist with ad hoc technical accounting research and policy documentation as the business evolves 

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Collaborate with Finance System, Revenue Operations, Legal, and Billing teams on contract review and order-to-cash process design

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related field
• 3–5 years of relevant accounting experience, with meaningful focus on revenue accounting
• Strong working knowledge of ASC 606, including contract review
• Experience working with high transaction volumes and the ability to navigate messy, ambiguous data
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — you dig into the details and communicate findings clearly
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable working cross-functionally with Billings, Legal and Rev Ops
• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment

 

Preferred

• CPA certification or active candidacy
• Big 4 or public accounting experience with revenue-focused clients
• Proficiency in NetSuite
• SQL proficiency — ability to run queries against large datasets for revenue analysis and reconciliation support
• Familiarity with Snowflake or other cloud data warehouses
• SaaS or high-growth startup experience
