• Drive improvements in collections and cash flow, particularly with enterprise customers, by partnering cross-functionally to resolve billing and payment issues.
• Build and enhance scalable processes, controls, and systems to support a growing and evolving revenue model.
• Support and help lead the month-end close process, including preparation and review of revenue-related journal entries, reconciliations, and flux analysis.
• Ensure strong GL integrity and GAAP compliance across revenue-related accounts.
• Prepare technical accounting memos, narratives, and documentation to support revenue recognition positions.
• Partner with external auditors during audits and quarterly reviews, including audit support, walkthroughs, and control documentation.
• Develop and maintain internal controls over revenue, including documentation and testing readiness.
• Identify opportunities for process automation and system improvements across billing, revenue recognition, and collections workflows.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure alignment between revenue systems, CRM (e.g., Salesforce), and financial systems.

• Deep experience with project-based, services, or hybrid SaaS revenue models

• Proven experience managing or supporting month-end close processes

• Experience with enterprise billing and collections, including improving collection cycles
• Demonstrated ability to operate in ambiguity and build processes from scratch
• Experience preparing technical accounting memos and audit documentation
• Prior experience working with external auditors and supporting audits
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to zoom out and think strategically
• Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management skills
• Hands-on mindset with willingness to dive into operational and transactional details
