Partner cross-functionally across Quote-to-Cash with Sales, Sales Operations, Deal Desk, Legal, Order/License Management, Billing, FP&A, and business leadership to evaluate non-standard contracts, advise on deal structuring, and ensure revenue accounting considerations are addressed upstream.
Evaluate revenue accounting implications of new products, pricing and packaging changes, partner/channel arrangements, strategic transactions, and go-to-market initiatives; prepare technical accounting memos, position papers, and related documentation as needed.
Lead periodic reviews of revenue recognition processes, close procedures, and controls; identify opportunities to improve efficiency, accuracy, automation, and effectiveness of the revenue accounting control environment.
Partner with Finance Systems, Sales Operations, and other stakeholders to enhance revenue accounting data integrity, system workflows, reporting, and automation across Salesforce, NetSuite, and related revenue platforms.
