- Design Controls & Systems: Develop, test, and monitor internal controls to ensure full ASC 606 compliance; partner with IT and external auditors to validate system enhancements.
- Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Order Management, Sales Ops, AR, and FP&A to embed automation, streamline data flows, and elevate accuracy across the quote‑to‑cash lifecycle.
- Insight & Reporting: Build dashboards and automated reports that provide real‑time visibility into forecast vs. actual revenue, deferral schedules, and revenue leakage.
- Mentor & Scale: Lead and coach a small team of accounting professionals in best practices for automation, process documentation, and continuous improvement.
- Proven Automation Expertise: 5+ years of accounting experience, including 2+ years focused on revenue recognition in SaaS or technology; hands‑on with script‑based or low‑code automation.
- Technical Fluency: Advanced Excel skills (macros, Power Query), working knowledge of NetSuite ARM, Salesforce CPQ/CRM, and experience integrating financial systems.
- US GAAP Expertise: Deep understanding of ASC 606; commitment to staying current on revenue recognition developments.
- Analytical Mindset: Ability to analyze large datasets, identify process bottlenecks, and implement scalable solutions.
Leadership & Influence: Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional projects, communicate technical requirements to business stakeholders, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. - Self‑Starter: Comfortable in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment; thrives as a change agent and process innovation champion.
- CPA designation or equivalent certification.
- Experience with Python, VBA, or other scripting languages.
- Previous tenure in a high‑growth SaaS or eCommerce environment.
