  • Monitor and assess the accounting impact of new product offerings, pricing changes, and contract structures, ensuring proper revenue treatment.
  • Drive process improvements and automation initiatives, including the use of AI tools to streamline reconciliations, reporting, and close activities.
  • Develop, document, and maintain strong internal controls over revenue processes, ensuring audit readiness.
  • Support external audits, including preparation of documentation and responding to auditor inquiries.
  • Lead and support systems implementation and enhancement projects across the quote-to-cash cycle, including defining revenue accounting requirements, partnering closely with Finance Systems teams, and driving UAT efforts for system changes and new product launches.

What skills do I need? 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA strongly preferred.
  • 5–7+ years of progressive accounting experience, with a strong focus on revenue accounting (SaaS/Usage experience preferred).
    Deep understanding of U.S. GAAP and ASC 606 revenue recognition principles.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
