About The Company

Valueonshore Advisors is an international business advisory firm specializing in governance, accounting, finance, technology, and operations. With a broad range of functional and industry expertise, we partner with our clients to implement solutions across the transaction and business lifecycle. Since its inception, Valueonshore Advisors has built an impressive roster of clients across the country, attracted top talent, expanded its geographic footprint, and grown over the last 14 years to become the premier advisory firm it is today. Our team of over 300 experienced professionals provides customized solutions and relevant industry insights to clients across various growth stages, including Fortune 500 companies, large conglomerates, mid-market companies, and start-ups.

About The Role

You have spent the last few years learning that revenue recognition is part accounting, part puzzle-solving. You read software contracts with a careful eye, looking for the terms that shape how and when revenue gets recorded. You understand ASC 606 and have seen firsthand why getting the details right matters. You are comfortable working with people across Sales, Legal, and Finance, helping translate what a deal means in accounting terms. When a non-standard clause shows up in a contract near the end of the quarter, you stay calm, ask the right questions, document your thinking, and work through it. Spreadsheets make sense to you. You build models that hold up when someone else opens them, and you appreciate clean documentation because you know it saves everyone time later. The details matter to you, not because you are rigid, but because you have seen how small things can ripple into bigger issues down the line. You will work on revenue for a global software and IP company where the contracts are varied, the work is steady, and the quality of what you do supports the bigger picture.

Responsibilities

• Review and analyze software contracts and document significant terms and accounting conclusions to ensure that revenue is recorded in compliance with ASC 606 and revenue recognition policy.
• Partner with Order Management, Sales, Legal, Credit & Collections, and Professional Services to gather the details you need to make informed accounting decisions.
• Approve revenue recognition for Salesforce opportunities and assist in preparation of revenue audit packages necessary for auditors to complete their quarterly and year-end audit selections.
• Support Sales during high volume of month-end and year-end close cycles.
• Participate in periodic SSP reviews, internal audits, special projects and process improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate with technical support team on automation projects, including new tools and process improvements that help reduce manual work.
• Maintain files and documentation thoroughly and accurately, in accordance with company policy and accepted accounting practices.
• Manage internal control documentation and contribute ideas for process improvements that make the revenue cycle more efficient and accurate.
• Deliver exceptional internal customer service across all participating corporate functional departments.
• Support Revenue Accounting Manager with special projects and process improvements.
• Manage month-end revenue close activities including preparing journal entries, balance sheet reconciliations, assist with preparing revenue disclosures, and supporting documentation for revenue related transactions.
• Work closely with the technical support team on automation initiatives, including implementation of tools and AI-driven process improvements.

Qualifications

• Chartered Accountant or CPA/CMA certification holder.
• You bring public accounting or advisory experience.
• 3+ years of revenue accounting experience, ideally with a technology or software company.
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 revenue recognition standards and how they apply to software contracts.

Required Skills

• Strong Excel skills, you are comfortable building models, pivot tables, and analyses that others can follow.
• Good analytical skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, you can explain revenue conclusions to different audiences in ways that make sense.
• Experience with Oracle is helpful, familiarity with Salesforce, SAP, or Alteryx is a plus.

Preferred Skills

• You can read through a software contract, identify the terms that matter for revenue recognition, and document your conclusions clearly.
• You stay organized during busy periods like month-end and quarter-end, keeping quality consistent even when the volume picks up.
• You work well across teams, building rapport with people who may not have an accounting background by asking thoughtful questions and listening.
• You care about accuracy and are willing to raise a question when something does not align with policy, while still being collaborative in how you approach it.
• You look for ways to improve processes, whether that is a better template, a clearer workflow, or an opportunity to automate a repetitive task.
• You approach your work with a service mindset, understanding that Finance is here to support the business.
• Maintain internal control documentation and contribute to process enhancements that reduce manual effort and increase accuracy.

The Impact You Will Have

• You will help record revenue accurately and in compliance with accounting standards, supporting the integrity of financial reporting.
• You will support Sales by providing timely, clear guidance on how contract terms affect revenue recognition.
