Job Description:

Role Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented Revenue Accountant to join our Order-to-Cash (O2C) team, with a focus on revenue recognition under ASC 606 and IFRS 15. This role owns the accurate and timely recognition of revenue across customer contracts, supports the month-end close, and partners with Deal Desk, Billing, Collections, and FP&A to ensure end-to-end integrity of the order-to-cash cycle. The ideal candidate combines strong technical accounting knowledge with a process-improvement mindset.

As part of the broader Order-to-Cash function, this role works closely with billing, accounts receivable, and collections teams to keep revenue, invoicing, and cash aligned across the cycle.

Key Responsibilities

Revenue Recognition

• Apply the ASC 606 / IFRS 15 five-step model – identify the contract, identify performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the price, and recognize revenue – across a portfolio of customer contracts.
• Review and interpret customer contracts, SOWs, change orders, and amendments to determine the appropriate revenue treatment (point-in-time vs. over-time, SSP allocation, variable consideration, contract modifications).
• Maintain and reconcile deferred revenue, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and contract liability schedules.
• Prepare and document revenue recognition memos and technical position papers for non-standard or judgmental arrangements.

Month-End Close & Reporting

• Execute revenue-related close activities: journal entries, account reconciliations, flux/variance analysis, and roll-forward schedules.
• Prepare revenue and deferred revenue reporting, including disaggregation and other ASC 606 / IFRS 15 disclosure support.
• Support internal and external audit requests with documentation and walkthroughs.

Controls & Process Improvement

• Ensure compliance with SOX and internal controls over the revenue and O2C process.
• Identify and drive automation and standardization opportunities across revenue and O2C workflows.

Required Qualifications

• 1-9 years of progressive experience in revenue accounting or a related O2C / finance function.
• Working knowledge of ASC 606 and/or IFRS 15 and practical application to customer contracts.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Commerce. CA / CPA / ACCA / CMA (qualified or pursuing) preferred.
• Strong understanding of the order-to-cash cycle and how revenue interacts with billing, AR, and collections.
• Proficiency in Excel; experience with an ERP (e.g., SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday) and ideally a revenue subledger / automation tool (e.g., Zuora RevPro, RightRev).
• Strong analytical, documentation, and reconciliation skills with high attention to detail.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a shared-services / global capability center or professional-services environment.
• Exposure to multi-element / bundled arrangements, SaaS, subscription, or services revenue.
• Familiarity with SOX controls and audit support.

Key Competencies

• Technical accounting judgment under ASC 606 / IFRS 15.
• End-to-end order-to-cash process understanding.
• Cross-functional collaboration with Deal Desk, Billing, Collections, and FP&A.
• Ownership, accuracy, and deadline discipline.
• Continuous-improvement and automation mindset
