Staff Accountant - Revenue Accounting (ASC 606)

Location: Fairfield County, CT (hybrid work model)
Compensation: Dependent on experience , up to $100k + bonus


Reports to: Revenue Accounting Manager


Why This Role


This position offers the opportunity to work deeply in ASC 606 while staying closely connected to how projects are executed across the business. Rather than focusing solely on the monthly close, the role emphasizes understanding contracts, evaluating judgment calls around revenue recognition, and partnering with project, logistics, and commodity teams to ensure financial results reflect operational reality. It's a strong fit for an accountant who values ownership, wants visibility into how decisions impact margins and reporting, and is looking to grow beyond a purely transactional accounting role.


Position Summary
This is an opportunity for an intellectually curious, self-motivated accountant who wants more than just a close cycle - someone who asks "why" before they ask "how," and who takes real ownership of their work. The Staff Accountant - Revenue Accounting will sit at the intersection of technical accounting and operational execution, supporting revenue recognition and financial reporting for a portfolio of utility-scale infrastructure projects under ASC 606. You'll work hand-in-hand with project management, commodity management, and logistics teams - building relationships across the business while driving accuracy in revenue recognition, cost tracking, and project-level gross margin reporting. The ideal candidate comes from Big 4 public accounting or a large corporate environment where ASC 606 has been a meaningful part of their day-to-day - someone who is comfortable with complexity, hungry to grow, and eager to be a valued contributor in a collaborative, fast-moving team.
