About the Role
We are a growing SaaS company seeking a technically strong Revenue Accountant to serve as our internal expert on all things revenue - from contract review and recognition policy to billing operations and order-to-cash process improvement. This is a high-impact individual contributor role that combines the rigorous technical depth of a public accounting background with the operational orientation needed to thrive in a fast-moving, systems-driven environment.
You will own our end-to-end revenue accounting function under ASC 606, partner closely with Sales, Legal, and FP&A on deal structuring, and drive continuous improvement across our billing and collections workflows in Salesforce and NetSuite. This role reports to the Senior Accounting Manager and has frequent visibility with the Controller and executive team.

Billing Operations & Order-to-Cash
- Own the end-to-end billing process - ensuring customer invoices are generated accurately, on schedule, and in alignment with contract terms and revenue recognition treatment

Systems & Process Improvement
- Serve as Finance's lead power user for NetSuite (Revenue Management / ARM module) and Salesforce (CPQ / Revenue Cloud), with a focus on accuracy, automation, and auditability

- Build and maintain dashboards and reports that provide real-time visibility into bookings, billings, deferred revenue, and recognized revenue for Finance and the broader business
