Compensation: $120K-$150K + Bonus + Equity

Vaco is partnering with a large, publicly traded technology company with multi-billion-dollar annual revenue seeking an Accountanting Manager to join their expanding organization. This opening is due to internal promotion and team growth and sits within a high-visibility group that supports multiple business units and product lines.

Although this is an individual contributor role, it operates at a manager level, with dotted-line oversight, technical leadership, and significant cross-functional influence.

What You Will Do

• Lead technical revenue accounting activities, including reviewing complex contracts, identifying performance obligations, and ensuring compliance with ASC 606.
• Manage monthly and quarterly revenue close processes, including journal entries, reconciliations, and in-depth analytical reviews.
• Own revenue-related internal controls, assess risks, and help design and strengthen end-to-end revenue processes.
• Prepare technical accounting memos and white papers, and partner with external auditors to explain revenue positions.
• Work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Legal, Product, Billing, and FP&A on new offerings, pricing changes, and operational impacts to revenue.
• Communicate revenue impacts clearly to non-accounting partners and influence business decisions with a balanced technical and operational perspective.
• Support system improvements, revenue tool enhancements, and process optimization as the company scales.
• Serve as a subject matter expert within the revenue organization and a trusted partner to leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance.
• ~7+ years post-grad experience (public accounting, technical accounting, and/or revenue).
• Strong technical accounting foundation; revenue experience preferred but general technical accounting acceptable with ASC 606 exposure.
• Ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment and handle multiple priorities.
• Strong communication skills, including working comfortably with non-accounting teams and confidently pushing back when needed.
• Experience writing technical memos/white papers and supporting audits.
• Understanding of deadlines, controls, risks, and operational process flows.
• CPA preferred; if not public accounting, must have strong technical accounting experience.
