Senior Revenue Accountant
LaunchDarkly is seeking a Senior Revenue Accountant to join their dynamic finance team. This role is pivotal in ensuring accurate revenue recognition in line with US GAAP and ASC 606 standards, with a strong emphasis on leveraging AI-driven automation to enhance process efficiency and scalability. The position involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including Sales, Deal Desk, and Legal, to review customer contracts and non-standard terms.
Key responsibilities encompass supporting the monthly revenue close process, preparing revenue-related journal entries, reconciliations, and supporting schedules to ensure timely and accurate revenue recognition. The Senior Revenue Accountant will perform ASC 606 contract reviews for new and existing customer arrangements, document appropriate revenue recognition conclusions, and evaluate complex or non-standard contract terms, such as usage-based pricing, committed spend, minimum commitments, credits, discounts, contract modifications, renewals, and other commercial arrangements. Additionally, the role involves maintaining and reconciling revenue schedules across revenue, accounts receivable, deferred revenue, unbilled receivables, and customer credits, as well as developing and maintaining revenue accounting workbooks, rollforwards, and supporting documentation that provide clear audit trails from customer contracts and usage data through the general ledger.
Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, with over 8 years of relevant accounting experience, including significant exposure to SaaS revenue recognition. A CPA or equivalent certification is mandatory, with public accounting experience, preferably from a Big 4 firm, being highly desirable. A strong working knowledge of US GAAP and ASC 606, along with experience evaluating customer contracts and revenue arrangements, is essential. Experience with SaaS, cloud infrastructure, AI, technology, or other consumption-based business models is strongly preferred. Proficiency in working with large datasets and reconciling information across multiple systems is required, with familiarity in NetSuite, Salesforce, or other major ERP and CRM systems being advantageous. Advanced skills in Excel or Google Sheets are necessary, along with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities and exceptional attention to detail. The ideal candidate should be capable of operating effectively in a fast-paced environment where products, systems, and processes are continually evolving and possess strong communication skills to translate technical accounting requirements into practical guidance for non-accounting stakeholders.
