About the roleCursor is rethinking how software gets built. We want the same ambition for how revenue is accounted for: one accountable owner from contract and billing reality → books → controls → reporting → audit, with processes that stay fast as the business changes. You will own that thread, build best-in-class close and controllership deliverables, and use Cursor itself to automate repetitive work, tighten documentation, and move faster with fewer errors-not as a gimmick, but as how a modern revenue team should operate.
You should be comfortable going from first principles, making decisions with incomplete information, and building processes that don't yet exist.
We're in-person in San Francisco (North Beach) and New York (Manhattan).
What you'll do- Run and improve the monthly/quarterly close for revenue, deferred revenue, unbilled receivables, and related balance sheet accounts-reconciliations, JEs, and flux that hold up to scrutiny.
- Run revenue-related reconciliations and journal entries; investigate and resolve discrepancies.
- Perform flux analysis on revenue; explain drivers to leadership and partner teams in plain language.
- Partner early on pricing, packaging, promotions, credits/refunds, and billing logic so revenue recognition and operational readiness are clear before changes ship.
- Work with User Ops, Finance Systems, Finance Data, and Billing so that what the product and pipes produce is what the GL reflects-especially for high-volume and automated revenue streams.
- Help select, implement, and improve billing and revenue systems (e.g., NetSuite, Stripe, or similar)
- Design, document, and maintain internal controls over revenue and order-to-cash; maintain audit-ready evidence (including control matrices and testing support).
How you'll work - Cursor as a multiplierWe hire people who want to set the standard, not just check boxes. In this role, that includes using Cursor to:
- Automate workstreams-scripts, reconciliation helpers, repeatable close steps, and lightweight tooling that reduce manual drag and human error.
- Produce best-in-class deliverables-clear memos, control narratives, close packages, and analyses that are easy for leadership, audit, and partners to consume.
- Create efficiencies-templates, checklists, and workflows that scale as headcount and transaction volume grow.
- Move faster safely-pair AI-assisted drafting and exploration with your judgment on GAAP, controls, and what actually happened economically.
You may be a fit if- Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance (or equivalent experience); CPA or equivalent strongly preferred.
- 8+ years of progressive accounting experience with meaningful revenue accounting depth
- Strong command of ASC 606
- Experience with subscription and usage-based SaaS and high volume self-service revenue
- Experience designing and implementing systems and integrations that keep accounting data flowing automatically from source to GL
- SQL or other data skills for reconciliations of large datasets
- Hands on experience with Netsuite, Stripe, HubiFi, Salesforce, or other similar tools
- Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally, influence without authority, and deliver in a fast-changing, high-growth environment.
- Excellent attention to detail, communication, and ownership-you spot issues, propose fixes, and drive them to completion.
