Senior Accounting Manager, Revenue & AR
Location: Remote (U.S.) - PST business hours Reports To: Controller
Full Time, Salary: $80 - $90k
Position Summary
This role is the Controller's primary partner on revenue, billing, and accounts receivable area requiring dedicated operational leadership, stronger oversight, tighter controls, and consistent support for the AR Lead. While the AR Lead owns day-to-day billing execution, this role provides oversight, coaching, quality review, and support when operational issues arise.
Beyond AR/Revenue, this role provides targeted support on select accounting and operational tasks. This is not a broad GL ownership role: general ledger involvement is intentionally limited to revenue- and AR-related items and select operational reconciliations, with occasional cross-training and backup support elsewhere. This role is approximately 60% operational accounting leadership and 40% traditional accounting support.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, analytical, and energized by improving processes and catching things before they become issues, while also comfortable picking up accounting fundamentals across a few adjacent areas.
What You'll Own
Revenue & AR (Primary Focus)
- Daily oversight of the AR Lead's billing work, reviewing, catching issues, and stepping in when volume spikes or problems arise
- Direct management of the AR Lead, including goal-setting, coaching, and coverage
- Design, document, and continuously improve billing validation procedures and secondary review controls to improve billing accuracy and reduce revenue leakage.
- Primary point of contact for AR/revenue topics with our accounting partners
- Own the integrity of revenue and receivables accounting, including month-end review and related reconciliation oversight.
- New customer setup review and approval
- Coordinating annual rate change updates across systems
- Reducing revenue leakage and strengthening billing controls
- AR/revenue reporting for leadership, including post-close reporting (budget vs. actual, revenue-focused analysis, and related updates)
- Partner with Sales to maintain the revenue forecast model, support annual budgeting, analyze forecast variances, and coordinate periodic reforecasting.
Accounting Operations
- Serve as first-level reviewer on select month-end close items as assigned by the Controller
- Contribute to balance sheet reconciliations on a subset of accounts
- Cross-train on shipping margin analysis and related accruals
- Support post-close reporting and analysis for leadership meetings
Ongoing Compliance & Administration
(Lower-frequency, calendar-driven items - less about deep technical work, more about staying on top of deadlines)
- Coordinate multi-state tax payments based on instructions from our outsourced tax preparers
- Maintain the business license and personal property tax schedule, including documentation and payment tracking
- Build new lease accounting schedules as needed (infrequent, given long-term lease structures)
Treasury & Banking
- Set up payment templates and payments in the treasury platform (roughly weekly, plus occasional urgent items); Controller remains final approver
- Review Positive Pay exceptions
Systems & Projects
- Partner with IT on automation and system improvements
- Participate in quarterly after-hours system testing (a few hours total per quarter)
- Lead any future AR system transitions (not currently active, but on the horizon)
- Contribute to process improvement, SOPs, and internal controls, particularly within AR/revenue
Backup Coverage
- Serve as documented backup for AR, cash flow/line of credit reporting, and select accounting tasks during absences, per SOPs
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, with real ownership of a process
- Strong AR/revenue cycle experience
- Track record of leading process improvement projects
- Comfortable partnering with IT on systems and automation
- Solid GAAP and close fundamentals; advanced Excel
- Highly organized and calendar-driven - comfortable managing a mix of daily priorities and infrequent, easy-to-forget recurring obligations (tax deadlines, license renewals, quarterly testing) without letting things slip
- A delegator who's also comfortable getting hands-on when needed
Nice to have: People management experience, Dynamics 365 F&O or QBO, outsourced-accounting experience, 3PL/eCommerce background.
Ideal Candidate
Someone who wants to own outcomes on the revenue and AR side of the business, and who's energized by tightening up processes, managing a team member, and catching issues early. They would be comfortable balancing recurring responsibilities with operational issues that require immediate attention. This person should be naturally curious about how transactions flow through systems, comfortable holding a wide variety of recurring responsibilities without dropping the ball, and interested in deepening their expertise in revenue and AR operations, with room to grow into broader accounting leadership over time.
