This role is a foundational member of our international revenue accounting team — an exciting opportunity to make an outsized impact.

• Partner with system teams to enhance revenue system utilization (NetSuite ARM), improving process efficiency and revenue accuracy;


• Identify bottlenecks, manual work, and automation opportunities across the revenue recognition and close process to drive continuous improvement;


• Collaborate with revenue operations, pricing, and product teams to conduct Standalone Selling Price (SSP) studies;


• Participate in M&A revenue-related integration to ensure smooth revenue process transitions as needed;


• Update revenue policies and position papers to reflect evolving business models, new products, and regulatory guidance;


• Assist with the external audit process and participate in and/or lead ad hoc projects with cross-functional impacts.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CPA designation preferred;


• 6+ years of progressive revenue accounting experience, ideally in SaaS, subscription, or marketplace environments;


• Strong technical revenue accounting skills, including deep understanding of IFRS 15 / ASC 606 revenue recognition standards;


• Proficiency in NetSuite ARM (Advanced Revenue Management) system;


• Experience with M&A revenue integration or purchase accounting is a plus;


• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a track record of identifying and implementing process improvements;


• Strong attention to detail and accuracy;


• Ability to communicate complex technical accounting concepts to cross-functional, non-finance stakeholders.
