Senior Financial Reporting & Revenue Accountant

Austin, TX

Self Financial is a venture-backed, high-growth FinTech company with a mission to increase economic inclusion and financial resilience by empowering people to build credit and build savings.

We're looking for people who share our passion and are driven to tackle challenges, find solutions and make the financial space better for the communities we serve.

Our team is passionate about challenging the status quo of the credit industry by providing people accessible tools to take control of their credit. Executing on our mission requires deep collaboration across our teams to ensure our products reach the people who can benefit from them the most, particularly the 100 million+ Americans who have no or low credit.

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. To that end, we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool.

Position Overview

We are seeking a technically-minded accounting professional to lead revenue accounting and assist with technical accounting matters within our growing fintech organization. This is a specialized role focused on revenue recognition under ASC 606, complex technical accounting research and memo drafting, equity and stock-based compensation accounting, and financial reporting in compliance with U.S. GAAP. The role partners closely with FP&A, Legal, Product, and external auditors to ensure accurate accounting for new products, contracts, and strategic initiatives as the company scales.

This is not a generalist staff accountant role. The ideal candidate brings public accounting experience, hands-on revenue recognition expertise, and the ability to independently research and document complex technical accounting positions. This role will report to the Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting Manager.

Key Responsibilities

Technical & Revenue Accounting

  • Lead revenue accounting under ASC 606, including contract review, performance obligation analysis, and revenue recognition decisions for new and existing product offerings
  • Assist with research, draft, and maintain technical accounting memos covering revenue recognition, leases (ASC 842), stock-based compensation (ASC 718), debt, and other complex topics
  • Assist with implementation of new accounting standards and pronouncements, including impact assessments and policy updates
  • Assist with equity and stock-based compensation accounting, including coordination with Carta for cap table data, expense calculations, and disclosures

Financial Reporting

  • Assist in preparation and review of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP
  • Assist with financial reporting workflows and documentation within Workiva, including footnote disclosures and supporting workpapers
  • Partner with external auditors on technical accounting matters, revenue testing, and audit deliverables

Systems, Data & Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Utilize SQL and data analysis tools to query large transactional datasets in support of revenue accounting, contract analytics, and financial reporting
  • Partner cross-functionally with FP&A, Product, Legal, and Operations to evaluate the accounting impact of new product launches, pricing changes, and contract structures
  • Support procurement and expense accounting workflows through Coupa where they intersect with technical accounting matters
  • Drive automation and process improvements across revenue accounting, technical accounting documentation, and financial reporting workflows
  • Assist with maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the general ledger and related financial reporting processes
  • Partner with the GL team to ensure timely and accurate completion of monthly, quarterly, and annual close procedures

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting required
  • CPA strongly preferred, or active CPA candidate with completion expected within 12 months
  • 6+ years of progressive accounting experience, with public accounting experience (Big 4 or large regional firm) strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience applying ASC 606 (revenue recognition) in a technology, fintech, or SaaS environment
  • experience drafting technical accounting memos and conducting independent accounting research
  • Working knowledge of ASC 842 (leases) and ASC 718 (stock-based compensation)
  • Proficiency with SQL for querying transactional data
  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, complex lookups, large-dataset modeling)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting an IPO readiness program, S-1 process, or SEC reporting
  • Hands-on experience with Workiva for financial reporting
  • Hands-on experience with Carta for equity administration and stock-based compensation accounting
  • Experience with FloQast, Coupa, or NetSuite in a technical accounting or revenue context
  • Prior experience in a high-growth fintech or consumer financial services company
  • A technical accounting specialist who can independently research, conclude on, and document complex accounting issues
  • Strong written communication skills - the ability to translate technical accounting conclusions into clear, audit-ready memos
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving conclusions on novel transactions
  • Intellectual curiosity and a desire to stay current on evolving GAAP and SEC guidance
  • Strong cross-functional partnership skills, particularly with non-accounting stakeholders

Base salary range: $100,000 - $120,000 annually.  Individual pay is based on factors unique to each candidate, including skill set, experience, and other job-related reasons.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
