You will partner closely with Deal Desk and Sales before contracts are finalized, helping structure customer agreements that achieve both commercial objectives and clean, scalable accounting outcomes. This role complements our Billing Operations team by owning the accounting behind the revenue cycle while Billing Operations owns execution, customer billing, and collections.

You are equally comfortable researching ASC 606 guidance, reviewing complex customer contracts, performing detailed revenue analysis, and partnering with Deal Desk, Sales, and Legal to help structure scalable commercial agreements. You are analytical, detail-oriented, and naturally curious. Rather than simply identifying accounting issues, you work collaboratively to find practical solutions that support both the customer and the business while maintaining compliance. You enjoy improving processes, reducing manual work, and leveraging technology to build scalable revenue accounting operations. What you get to do every day: Technical Revenue Accounting & ASC 606 - Own the accounting analysis for customer contracts, contract modifications, renewals, expansions, and terminations in accordance with ASC 606. - Research complex accounting issues and prepare technical accounting memoranda supporting revenue recognition conclusions. - Lead the development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of Standalone Selling Price (SSP) methodologies. - Partner with external auditors on all revenue-related technical accounting matters.
