Senior Revenue Accountant

You are a technically strong accounting professional who enjoys working at the intersection of accounting and the business. 

You are equally comfortable researching ASC 606 guidance, reviewing complex customer contracts, performing detailed revenue analysis, and partnering with Deal Desk, Sales, and Legal to help structure scalable commercial agreements.
