This is a foundational role on our accounting team, partnering closely with Accounting, Strategic Finance, and Revenue Operations. You will own ASC 606 revenue recognition across our subscription, committed-use, and usage-based (consumption) billing models, and build the systems, schedules, and controls that make revenue accurate, auditable, and automated.

What You Will Do and Achieve

• Own revenue recognition under ASC 606 across subscription, committed-use, and usage-based / consumption contracts.
• Run the monthly and quarterly revenue close, including deferred revenue, unbilled and accrued revenue, and contract asset/liability schedules.
• Review customer contracts to determine performance obligations, standalone selling price allocations, and revenue treatment.
• Own billing operations in our billing platform (Orb) — invoicing, credits, commit drawdowns, and usage true-ups.
• Manage accounts receivable, cash application, and collections in partnership with the broader finance team.
• Own AR reconciliations and aging analysis, and drive collections.
• Perform month-end flux and variance analysis on revenue and AR balances, and build AR and collections metrics (DSO, aging) for management reporting.
• Develop and document revenue policies, internal controls, and repeatable close procedures.
• Support audit and diligence requests related to revenue, and drive audit readiness.
• Coordinate sales tax and VAT treatment.
• Leverage AI and automation across the revenue workflow — from contract review, to revenue recognition, to reconciliations and reporting.

Qualifications

• 4-7+ years of progressive revenue accounting experience.
• Deep technical knowledge of US GAAP revenue recognition (ASC 606).
• Experience with subscription and usage-based / consumption billing models.
• Hands‑on experience with billing and ERP systems (e.g., Orb, Zuora, Stripe, NetSuite).
• Strong reconciliation skills and advanced Excel.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to own processes end‑to‑end.
• Able to operate independently in a fast‑paced, lean environment.
• Experience applying LLMs and AI automation to finance and accounting workflows.

Strong candidates may also have

• CPA.
• Big 4 audit or assurance background.
• In‑house experience at a high‑growth SaaS or technology company.
