Partner with Data Analytics and Engineering teams to design and monitor data integrity controls from source systems (orders, activations, refunds, billing platforms) through the revenue subledger to the GL, including completeness and accuracy checks and exception reporting. Establish monitoring for revenue risk indicators (refund spikes, activation delays, reseller deductions, anomaly detection) and translate them into accounting impacts such as variable consideration estimates and constraints. Partner with Technical Accounting on the assessment of new contracts, promotions, and go-to-market programs, providing data-driven input on the operational and analytical implications of proposed accounting positions. Support quarterly reviews and annual audits by preparing reconciliations, waterfalls, and supporting documentation for significant judgments and estimates, and by responding to auditor inquiries on revenue and deferred revenue. Drive process improvement and automation within the revenue function, identifying opportunities to enhance accuracy and efficiency through BI and AI tools. Contribute to public company readiness by strengthening revenue controls, documentation, and reporting cadence in alignment with SEC and SOX expectations.
