About the role and teamAs Apollo's Lead Revenue Accountant, you'll take ownership of our order-to-cash engine end to end, spanning subscription and usage-based revenue. You'll partner closely with Finance leadership to modernize how we bill, collect, and report, and you'll help build the systems and processes that let Apollo scale without friction. This is a builder's role: a hands-on, individual-contributor with real reach across Revenue Operations, Deal Desk, Product, and Engineering. We're looking for someone who'd rather build than maintain what already exists, and who's eager to put automation and AI to work streamlining reconciliations, reporting, and the rest of the revenue stack.
What you'll do- You will own the order to cash process, from order creation through invoicing, collections, and cash application, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and adherence to contractual terms.
- You will own the revenue recognition process in accordance with ASC 606, including monthly journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting.
- You will support and maintain technical accounting memos and schedules for revenue recognition (ASC 606), capitalized commissions (ASC 340-40), internal-use software (ASC 350-40), and leases (ASC 842).
- You will lead new billing and revenue system implementations, driving accounting requirements and keeping cross-functional stakeholders aligned on scope and timing.
- You will create and deploy automation workflows across invoicing and collections to reduce process cycle times.
- You will partner with Deal Desk and Product on new SKU launches and ensure systems and processes will be ready before the launch
- You will assist with monthly and quarterly close activities, including revenue reconciliations, sales tax reporting, technical accounting areas and more
- You will support our annual financial audit by preparing schedules and responding to auditor requests on revenue-related matters.
- You will manage collections and oversee dunning processes, monitor AR aging, and conduct direct outreach to customers with past-due accounts
