• Standards Adherence: Ensure all automated system rules, data flows, and manual overrides remain strictly compliant with ASC606.
• Change Management: Maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and train finance teams on updated system workflows.

What You Bring:

• 6+ years of revenue accounting experience (combining Big4 accounting and high-growth corporate finance experience is strongly preferred).
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance or Business Information Systems, or comparable.
• Excellent understanding of US GAAP and ASC606 principles in a complex SaaS, recurring revenue, multi‑element, or usage‑based business models.
• Hands‑on experience with SOX404 compliance, internal control frameworks, and leading audit walk‑throughs for automated IT application controls.
• Direct experience implementing, configuring, or managing enterprise ERPs and revenue subledgers/engines (NetSuite ARM, Salesforce, etc.).
• Proficiency with enterprise data warehouses and BI/visualization tools; solid database query/SQL skills are highly valued.
• Success leading cross‑functional project teams, managing project risk, and delivering complex system implementations on schedule.
• Exceptional cross‑functional leadership skills—capable of aligning incentives across Sales Ops, Legal, IT, Product, FP&A, and External Auditors.
• Solid articulate communicator who can effortlessly explain complex technical accounting requirements to engineering teams and technical data concepts to accounting leadership.

• Agile approach to problem solving.
