The ideal candidate brings deep ASC 606 expertise, strong NetSuite capability, and the ability to maintain accuracy in a high-volume, low-margin operating environment.

Responsibilities:

• Direct revenue accounting activities under ASC 606, including evaluating customer agreements, identifying performance obligations, determining proper timing of recognition, and maintaining support for audit review.

• Coordinate the full month-end close process by managing timelines, reviewing journal entries, validating account reconciliations, and analyzing fluctuations against expectations.

• Prepare and deliver timely reporting on cash, accounts receivable, and revenue results, including a five-business-day flash reporting package for executive leadership.

• Complete additional profit and loss and balance sheet close procedures following flash reporting to ensure accurate and comprehensive financial results.

• Provide day-to-day leadership to accounting team members by reviewing deliverables, setting work priorities, and promoting accountability across the close process.

• Contribute directly to detailed accounting operations such as reconciliations, reporting schedules, revenue data review, and high-volume AR and AP activity.

• Communicate progress, risks, open items, and final close outcomes clearly to finance leaders and key stakeholders.

• Use NetSuite extensively for journal entries, account analysis, reconciliations, reporting, and other core close-related activities.

• Demonstrated experience applying ASC 606 and managing complex revenue recognition matters.
• Strong working knowledge of NetSuite in a hands-on accounting or reporting environment.
• Proven success leading month-end close activities and meeting reporting deadlines.
• Experience supervising, mentoring, or guiding accounting staff in a lean team structure.
• Solid background in reconciliations, financial analysis, variance review, and financial reporting.
• Ability to work effectively in a high-volume, low-margin business where billing accuracy, revenue cut-off, and margin integrity are essential.
• Comfortable operating independently and keeping accounting processes on track with minimal oversight.
• Experience in SaaS, ad-tech, digital media, marketplace, usage-based billing, affiliate marketing, publisher networks, or gross-versus-net revenue accounting is preferred.
