Job Description

The Revenue Accounting Systems Specialist is a hybrid role designed for a technically-minded accountant who enjoys the intersection of financial policy and system architecture. You will be responsible for the "precision work" of revenue accounting—performing contract reviews and executing the month-end close—while simultaneously serving as the functional super-user for our revenue recognition engine.

You will act as the vital bridge between Revenue Accounting, IT, and RevOps, ensuring that our IFRS 15 policies are not just written on paper, but are accurately embedded into our automated systems.

1. Revenue Execution & Month-End

• Technical Review: Perform detailed contract and deal assessments to ensure compliance with IFRS 15 (Performance Obligations, SSP, and Variable Consideration).

• Close Management: Prepare and review monthly revenue journal entries, deferred revenue reconciliations, and flux analyses.

• Audit Support: Act as a key point of contact for internal and external auditors, providing PBC (Provided by Client) schedules and explaining system-generated reports.

2. Systems & Data Integrity

• Functional Super-User: Serve as the primary administrator and subject matter expert for the revenue recognition tool (e.g., SAP RAR, RevPro, or similar).

• Liaison & Troubleshooting: Partner with IT and RevOps to troubleshoot data breaks between the CRM (Salesforce), Billing, and the ERP.

• UAT Leadership: Own the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process for any new system enhancements, ensuring no "accounting leakage" occurs during updates.

3. Process Transformation & Automation

• Optimization: Proactively identify manual workarounds in the current Quote-to-Cash (Q2C) process and propose automated solutions.

• Documentation: Maintain and update "living" process documentation that maps how accounting logic is translated into system configurations.

• Scaling: Assist in the global rollout of new revenue modules or entities, ensuring data structures are consistent across the group.

4. Compliance & Governance

• Controls: Maintain a robust internal control environment (SOX-compliant) over revenue data flows and system access.

• Data Quality: Monitor the integrity of upstream data to ensure that revenue is triggered accurately and automatically upon contract execution.

• Experience: 3–6 years of experience in Revenue Accounting or a closely related Financial Systems role (SaaS or Technology sector preferred).

• Technical Knowledge: Solid foundational understanding of IFRS 15 / ASC 606 and the ability to apply it to complex, multi-element contracts.

• Systems Savvy: Advanced proficiency in Excel is a must. Experience with a major ERP (SAP, NetSuite, Oracle) and dedicated RevRec software is highly required.

• Mindset: You are detail-oriented enough to catch a reconciliation error but curious enough to want to automate the fix so it never happens again.

• Communication: Ability to translate "accountant-speak" into technical requirements for IT developers and vice versa.
